Cannes, The Holy Grail

So, we got the amazing news that "Cleveland vs. Wall Street" - a film on which Kate O'Neil (my producer and partner at Authentic Films) served as the U.S. Executive Producer, will be premiering at the Cannes Directors Fortnight as part of the 2010 Cannes Film Festival.  Cinephiles recognize Cannes as the apex of filmmaking and films - a combination of the glamour of film tempered with the best in new films and filmmakers.  We'll be there to soak in the craziness, meet new people, and best of all, see as many movies as possible.  Lately, the offices at Authentic Films has been crazier than usual - as along with our usual workload we are prepping for the trip with decisions on fashion, travel and most importantly which and how many cameras to take.

Congratulations to Jean-Stephan and our friends at Saga Productions who came to Cleveland 2 years ago and began filming "Cleveland vs. Wall Street."  They are a wonderful, generous group of people who we enjoyed getting to know while they were here in Cleveland.   Also, congratulations to all of the Clevelanders who were a part of the making of this film: AC Kiely Cronin, Steadicam Operator Adam White, Boom Lenny Suwalski and Kevin Hines,  PA and script supervisor Kara Martinelli, coordinator Laura Paglin, equipment Hob Zabarsky and John Turk and locations manager William Garvey. 

Stay tuned...as we'll be blogging, tweeting, and uploading photos on a daily basis and sharing our experience with everyone here back in The CLE...
