Today classes begin for the students. From 11-1 they have Dr. Kohn’s Journalism class which focuses on discussing and critiquing the reviews they have written about the movies in the festival. Then from 2-4 they have Dr. Smith’s Telecommunications class which focuses on the business and marketing aspect of the film industry.
I am spending my time:
– sitting in on their classes
– collecting and printing reviews
– posing as the ‘media buying guru’ in Dr. Smith’s class
– continuing preparations for the Cannes Lions program and for those students who are gearing up for their journey to France
– serving as the ever-present “house mom” to 28 college students
– deciding on my own travel plan possibilities for the week I have off between programs
– and, finally, catching up on my blog with all the juicy happenings from the 12-day Cannes Film Festival (better late than never, right?)
So, keep coming back to check for updates — I promise I’m working on them.
