If I ever told my mother that I was homeless when I stayed in Savannah, GA for film school, she would have killed me. I remember the day I graduated from Virginia State University and thinking to myself… 'What the hell am I going to do now that I graduated school?' I just received my bachelor’s degree in Hospitality Management, but I knew that was not what I wanted to do. My heart wasn’t in it at all. I knew what I wanted to do, what I wanted to be, but I just d…
Watch as the Cannes Film Festival is getting the red carpet ready for the opening night of Woody Allen's film Cafe Society.
Are you familiar with the 80/20 rule? It’s originally known as the Pareto Principle and it basically says that 20% of the input creates 80% of the result. In other words, only 20% of you will do whatever it takes to become published, produced, or put on display in the world of writing. Only 20% of you will ever see the project you started come to fruition. Only 20% of you are willing to be criticized, crucified and ridiculed in order to become part of the 80% result. The quest…

There are certain publicists whose films are always the top festival films and because you know their taste suits you, you want to see their films. The publicists are usually only known to the trade and prefer to keep a low profile. But I am “outing” Richard Lormand of Film Press Plus, one because he was felled by illness last year and missed the first ever Cannes since 1987 and deserves a “Welcome Back!” from everyone in the business, and also because he is one o…
This is a "go to" festival for international filmmakers with Jewish films who want to have their films premiere in Hollywood. The 11th L.A. Jewish Film Festival May 18th through May 25. Opening night on May 18 will be a grand, red carpet, star-studded gala at the Steve Tisch Cinema Center at the Saban Theatre, Beverly Hills.

Welcome to the weekend, everyone. Before we get to all the cool content, another round of applause for all who took part in the April Content Challenge. To hear from so many of you who were impacted in a positive way and have now changed your approach to networking and social media in general was a reward unto itself. I’m especially proud of the many Stage 32 members who previously classified themselves as social media introverts who now feel empowered to participate daily. To rea…
The second edition of the 'Women in Motion' program will take place in Cannes from May 11 to 22, 2016 at the 69th Festival de Cannes. The year’s official poster is of Frances McDormand whose presentation at last year’s first edition illuminated gender bias practices within the film industry in the most captivating, funny and serious presentation of the several presentations given. During her Talk on 22 May 2015, the actress addressed the impact gender discriminati…
