Part One of the Cannes Reportage series...
Just back from Cannes - What an awesome festival! OK, so I was working for no pay, 7 days a week, 10 -17 hour days, sharing a shoebox of a hotel room with 4 film students, and getting 2-5 hours of sleep a night, but it was absolutely phenomenal!
I haven't finished downloading and cropping all the pics yet, so that'll have to wait. Some highlights from the festival, though: signing karaoke with John Cameron Mitchell (Hedwig) and some cast members of his new film, Shortbus; making lunch for Hugh Hefner's belated 80th birthday party; seeing the world premieres of The Wind That Shakes The Barley, Borat, Clerks II, Shortbus, and Babel; making an omelet for Faye Dunaway; getting photos with Kevin Smith, Rosario Dawson, Scott Mosier, Brian O'Halloran, Kendra Wilkinson, Sook Yin Lee, Paul Dawson, and PJ DeBoy; serving drinks to Jena Malone; seeing the cast of Richard Linklater's Fastfood Nation; and making Millionaire's Deviled Eggs and a ceviche plate for Top Chef David.
Can't wait to post the pics.
Hooray for me.
