Check please! My Cannes Film Festival to-do List
Just two more days until the Cannes Film Festival kicks off, and I’m starting to think about my checklist in my head, which sounds like this:
Plane ticket, check. Party line up, check. New shoes, a couple of outfits, half a check (still ‘need’ a cute pair of shoes) Video camera, check. Tickets to screenings, a big hopeful check!
I hope we can see a few of the films in competition, so my friends, any insider tips for how to get tickets while at Cannes are welcomed. Here’s the main line up of films in competition.
