Cannes

And the main news is - I'll be going to Cannes this year, all being well. "Echoes" is in the Short Film Corner, and I've got my accreditation. Flights booked, place to stay sorted, business cards and postcards ordered - all systems are go.

Who else is going? If there are enough of us, do people fancy having some kind of blogger gathering? Maybe we could get together at one of the UK Pavilion happy hours, or, if people join, at the American Pavilion. I'm happy to try to co-ordinate something, if anyone fancies it - just let me know.

I'm also doing a "Cannes for Virgins" session with Rob Speranza of South Yorkshire Filmmakers Network on Wednesday 2nd May around 7:o0pm at Sheffield Independent Film - not claiming to be an expert, just sharing experiences on a kind of "things I wish I'd known last year" basis, and hopefully meeting up with other Yorkshire-based people who will be heading out to Cannes next month.
