DISPATCHES

#280. 10-10-06 Cannes France: 2250 hrs. Back in my small room. Spent the day meeting people who are going to be putting the IFC show on in their respective territories. I met some men from Lebanon, where the show will be aired and one of them said something pretty cool. He said basically that when he saw me yelling down the barrel of the lens, he listened for a couple of minutes, stopped watching and got on the phone to make the deal. I hope I get to go to Lebanon at some point. He said he wants to bring me out there for some promotion stuff. I’m ready to go right now. I met a lot of people today, journalists, press people, etc., etc. Not all that easy to do while battling jet lag but I hung in there all the way through dinner. The best part of being out here is walking around outside. The weather is great and the streets and buildings are beautiful.
