2/ Haven't heard of any major deals being struck (many seem to have been done pre-festival) but the sales agents I spoke to said that there was decent business being done, if not spectacular. Seemed to be a good showing from indie distrib buyers.
3/ Some concern over potential SAG strike and how that may affect other markets. Some producers considering moving production schedules back, but no outright panic.

🪡 🍿#CryBaby the brilliant intentional « kitsch » movie— the pathway #JohnnyDepp chose to truly escape his unwanted « teen idol » persona.
What inspired the director #JohnWaters (Hairspray) to write the screenplay for Cry Baby— was the dark memory of the unsolved murder of one « Carolyn Wells/Wasilewski » in Baltimore—his hometown.
To find a young actor for the role of Wade "Cry-Baby" Walker—Waters bought a bunch of teen magazines, all of which showed #JohnnyDepp in 21 Jump Street (1987) on the cover.

On this day in May, a stranger offered to take my photo as I lay on the rocks on the "beach" in Nice, France.
