Lord Zion

Cannes 2014

Cannes 2014 - anyone from Stage 32 going to be there? I am there 13-17th May.

TJ Martin

I'm in a Short, titled "Coast", that will be Premiering at the beginning of Cannes.

Lord Zion

Cool! Maybe we'll bump into eachother!

Talia Price

I want to go there.

Vishaal Desai

Will be there from 15th-22nd

Richard "RB" Botto

If you guys do indeed form a Stage 32 Meetup while out there, please take some photos and send them to Emily@stage32.com - We'll be sure to post them. And good luck with the short, Tj.

Eva Klein

Will be there from the 15th to the 24th! My short "Waste the World" will be at the Short film corner

Richard "RB" Botto

Congrats, Eva! Best of luck with it.

Michel Merkt

I'll be there 14th - 24th. Good luck and productive festival to everyone!

Lord Zion

Looks like we could meet somewhere and say hello in person. I've never been before so, any suggestions of a place to bump into eachother welcome!

Michel Merkt

@ Lord no problemo but let's just wait to see how many people will join no and just be a bit more sure about the weather? But seems either 15th evening or 16th. Depending the number of people we then choose the place!

Emile Castonguay

Hi, I will be there from mai 14 to 22.

Tony Auguste

Hi, just joined Stage32 but I'll be in Cannes & happy to meet up. Thanks!

Grietje Lolita Fortuin

Hi, great idea. I will be there from 16 - 20. Would love to meet you Guys.

Grietje Lolita Fortuin

Anyone with local knowledge Who can suggest the when and where?

Vishaal Desai

The Petit Majestic is a pretty good place to meet up initially at least...

Brad Miller

I will be there the 14-25th. Is there a plan to try to meet up? Anyone have a good way to stay in touch over there?

Michel Merkt

So let's say 16th as everybody seems to be on site! Now the time...anyone has "protocol" stuff or screening to attend?

Grietje Lolita Fortuin

Good idea. Where is the Petit Magic, at what time do we meet?

Vishaal Desai

The Petit Majestic is a little bar not too far from the palais. A lot of people attending the festival gather there for a few drinks after the day is done. 16th works for me, anytime after 6:30-7pm should be good as the palais has wrapped up for the day by then.

Lord Zion

In my diary...

Michel Merkt

just to let you know that if we are less than 20 people on the 16th from 6 to 8 pm I can easily organize to do that on a beach which could be more convenient...

Grietje Lolita Fortuin

Hi, I will be there. But where is there?

Luke Sargent

I'll be there 15th -20th with an animated stop motion film, Indigo, in the "short corner". I'm a Canadian editor / producer who wants to meet interesting people, talk movies, and enjoy soirees with the like-minded...

Virginia Bach

Hi, I'll be there 15th-20th , would love to meet up.

Stage 32 Staff - Julie

Is there a designated organizer for this meetup? We'd like to send you all some Stage 32 swag to wear and take photos at the Stage 32 Cannes meetup. Send me a private message so I can coordinate :)

Lord Zion

Hi - no designated organiser. I started the thread but I am off very early Tues morning and I doubt you would be able to get anything to me in time. If you can, do! I am in Surrey, UK.

Lord Zion

Ha! Just saw you were in LA, so that ain't gonna happen. Anyone in LA going that Julie can get stuff to?

Stage 32 Staff - Julie

Lord - I can get shirts printed near you in the UK to take with you if that's easier?

Michel Merkt

Thanks to Lord Zion who started this lounge meeting I can confirm that an "happy hour" will take place for Stage 32 members (limited to the first 32 of course) in Cannes from 6pm to 8pm on the 16th of May on a beach. More infos to come soon!

Stage 32 Staff - Julie

Michel - can we coordinate with you to get all of you 32ers some Stage 32 swag to wear at this meetup? We're going to feature your Cannes meetup on the 32 blog :) (and we'll give a little shout out to all your projects that you all have going on over there :)

Lord Zion

Petit Majestic still? My first time so don't know if that's the same thing. Will see you there! Is that ALL our projects, Julie?! ;-)

Michel Merkt

to all - It's going to be on a beach on the Croisette and I will give the name of the beach asap (surprise...) from 6pm to 8pm on Friday May 16th to Julie - I'll send you detail and address via private message

Virginia Bach

Ok! Super!

Grietje Lolita Fortuin

Hi, yes looking forward too!

Michel Merkt

Happy to let you know that the "Cannes Stage32 happy hour meet up" will take place on the "Plage Miramar" from 6pm to 8pm on Friday May 16th. Every Stage32 member with his name on this page will be more than welcome but only the 32 first one will receive a special collector "Cannes Stage32 gift"...so don't be late and have a very productive festival. And for the one who can't make it, it doesn't mean you can not meet with Stage32 members after this event!!!! :o) See you there!

Lord Zion

I leave in an hour; see you in a few days!

Grietje Lolita Fortuin

Hi, see you there!

Virginia Bach

I'll be there!

Virginia Bach
Michel Merkt

just few more hours before the meet up...hope you're all ready and having a great festival so far. Do not hesitate to bring one guest with you (and then of course to ask them to join the community)! Bring energy and smile! See you tomorrow Plage Miramar from 6pm to 8pm but arrive early for the surprise....

Lord Zion

Michel Merkt

Michel Merkt

Thanks to Lord and to Stage32! :o)

Lord Zion

Was great to meet those that did - will get photos sent in Sat/Sun. Have a successful festival!

Michel Merkt

no problem one day perhaps you will...

Michel Merkt

thank you to all the one who came and sorry for the other who didn't...I am sure I am not the only only one who will say you missed something....and not only the gifts! Good luck to all for your festival

Lord Zion

I dreamt about the giant prawns. They alone were worth the trip to Cannes!

Michel Merkt

I'll send you some if you want - it won't take more than 10 days with normal post hahahahaha

Vishaal Desai

Great party! Thanks again Michel! Was good to meet everyone and will hopefully see some of you again during the festival. I'm here till the 22nd.

Stage 32 Staff - Julie

Wish we could have been there! Just got some photos from Michel and Lord Zion - looked AMAZING!

Virginia Bach

Thank you Michel for organizing this meet up! It was really cool and friendly. I hope to see some of you again before I leave. I am here until the 20th.

Michel Merkt

what would be great is if you could talk about the project you have here in Cannes and what you are looking for....even for the one who weren't with us!

Vishaal Desai

Hey Michel I'm here with four 'in development' feature projects. 1. A murder mystery/dark comedy set in Bombay called 'The Tenants' (partially financed) 2. A Sci-Fi / Political satire set in India called 'The Prime Minister' (director attached) 3. A post apocalyptic Sci-Fi called 'Project Fusebox' 4. A low budget claustrophobic, single location Horror called 'The Cantina' Looking for a Producer / Production company for an international co-production and financing for all these projects. Vishaal.

Lord Zion

If you find anyone wanting to distribute a comedy horror that will be ready in Aug/Sept; or someone wanting to invest in a low-budget psychological horror, point them toward me. I can help on both counts ;-)
