Anything Goes : First Time at the American Pavilion in Cannes – What to Expect? by Vince Trenton

Hi everyone,

I‘ve a quick question for those of you who are attending the Cannes Film Festival or have been there before — especially those who have also experienced the American Pavilion membership:

This will be my fourth time in Cannes, my second time attending with a Marché du Film accreditation, and my first time joining the American Pavilion.

I’d love to hear about your experiences:

- What benefits did it bring you?

- What can I realistically expect & how would you describe the overall atmosphere in that environment?

For me, this year is mainly about exploring & getting a feel for how everything works — understanding the dynamics, experiencing the atmosphere & potentially making a few meaningful connections.

I may also speak about my current project, which is a proof-of-concept entering production in late summer, with the goal of submitting it to festivals once completed later in the year.

Looking forward to hearing your insights & experiences!

Thanks & best regards,

Vince
