2013 Cannes Festival

I attended another screening today, Friday the third day of the Festival, of a film starring Rob Pralgo and Tom Sizemore called Remnants.  This film is about the tragic and devastating aftermath of a giant solar flare that disables the entire worlds electrical grid.  The film shows the reaction of humans when they lack the everyday access to food and water.  The film leaves one with little hope for mankind.

My friends and producers from Machete Cine in Mexico have finally arrived on the Croisette for the screening of their film "La Jaula De Oro (The GoldenCage) directed by first time filmmaker Diego  Quemada-Diez scheduled to screen May 22 in Salle Debussy Theater.  This is the same production company that produced first time filmmaker Michael Rowe who screened here in 2010 with the film "Ano  Bisiesto (Leap Year)" that won the Camera d'Or. This team of young producers, Edher Campos and Luis Salinas are making remarkable strides here at Cannes.  They have informed me that they have reserved me a spot at their screening.  Nice to have friends in high places.  I'm predicting very big things for these young men.  Stay tuned.
