IFP Cannes Producer's Network Fellowship

IFP chose a handful of producers to attend the virtual Cannes market this year. I was amongst the group, and spent the week trying to figure out how to network virtually. It wasn’t ideal, but after a few days I started to get the hang of it. Hopefully next year the markets will happen in person, but the upcoming IFP week will be the same kind of thing. We’ve got to adapt, so it’s a matter of looking at the bright side. In the case of IFP, we will see a lot more LA industry attending than when it takes place physically in New York. So there’s opportunity there. I don’t know the Cannes landscape as well, having attended only once years back, so it was hard to say if there were people there who wouldn’t normally have attended. But I was able to connect with some producers in Africa and South Asia who might not have come to the physical edition.
