Day #3 in the Big Brother Hou… I mean in Cannes. Im beginning to go a little stir crazy already in my prison cell of a room, but at least I have Battlestar Galactica as company for the dark, hot, sticky hours.
Inside the Pa- “12.10pm 14th May 2009 Palais des Festivals interior: scouting from the undergrowth. Apparently”
Couple of things to tell you all…
Firstly, I missed the ITN ladies yesterday in the throng of journos and film buffs (despite wearing a bright purple shirt), despite one of them shouting my name repeatedly, which I did hear, but attributed to those pesky internal voices I often suffer at the hands of. Long and short is, we’re going to meet up when schedules allow, which is made immeasurably more simple by the fact that I now have a phone. A comedy of errors, but one hopefully that is rectifiable.
Secondly, and pretty excitingly, on Tuesday I have time set up to meet Matt Dentler, formerly the head hencho behind SXSW and now head of the programming and marketing division of Cinetic Media,who are repping the twin major releases of Agora and The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus. Lots to ask him about digital distribution- especially seeing as though I’m an avid DVD collector! Watch this space.
Hopefully there’ll be more where this came from.
