Hi all

I just applied one of our short films to the Cannes Short Film Corner and we got in.

My question is for all those who have BEEN to cannes and are planning to go. Is going there Worth it?

What I was thinking of is that since cannes short film corner already have all my contact information - any buyer or agent who wants to buy my film would contact me via email or phone call me.

I can save myself the ticket and hotel stay which is very expensive.

Bottom line. is going to the cannes short film corner to attempt to promote and sell your short film there WORTH IT??

Also is hiring a PR company promoting your short film there worth it as well??

Please offer your own experience please.
 
Okay, my take is just based on my perception.

I've known several people who've gone. Other than their own satisfaction of being selected, I don't know that their attendance helped them in any way. Certainly hadn't heard that their shorts had done anything above and beyond in terms of distribution beyond the Shorts Corner. I'm still not clear that that is an official part of the festival (I think that is isn't, am I correct?) itself.

That being said, I've never had personal experience with it.
