Cannes day 4 May 14

I had a dream that Seth Rogan and I were madly in love. I think we had a fight and I was so upset because I loved him so much. He got down on his knees and professed his love to me. Then he showed me the house he wanted to buy for us. Strange.


Me: How do we get in to see a screening?
Mike: You make a film. The best place to be is on the other side of the carpet.


What a day! Mike went down to Cannes to check things out and asked that we wait for him before we come down. As soon as he text us it was go time. We were going to have to buy a day pass for 40E each. We got to Cannes, found Mike and waited in a LONG line for our passes. I somehow managed to get a free pass because I was an actress. They checked for my business card and checked to see if I was on IMDB then they gave me my pass. They gave everyone else such a hard time. Gayle (Marianne's husband) wasn't allowed in, Sherri was told she already had her passes and then had pay 80E. Well this pass only got us in to the market -still no movie screenings. We went to the market and found a San Diego actress who told us about her movie. The market was gigantic and we were only in a small section.-the Short Film Corner.
Tons of other hopefuls were there to try and sell their film. Marianne and I took off to hit the distributors upstairs. I am not a salesperson so I didn't do very well. It was exhausting. It started raining on the way to the trainstation. There were so many people with umbrellas it was hard not to get hit. We got home and made dinner. Marianne and Gayle made chicken cordon blue with rice and asparagus. It was awesome. We talked for hours and finished all the wine.




It was Saturday night so something must be open to have another drink right? Nothing was open at 10:30pm! Not even a petit casino which is basically like a 7-11. The only hope was to walk up the hill to Old Mougins. Surprisingly, Mike was up for it and so was I. We got all the way up and found a bar to have blush wine. It was heavenly. By then it was midnight. My goodness what a day!
