How to survive Cannes Film Festival


Below is the Cannes Film Festival survival guide from an early 90's t-shirt.

Never go out without dark glasses
(Even if nobody would know you)
Never be without your cellular phone
(Even if it doesn't work)
Never take off your official badge
(Even at night, one never knows...)
Never look lost
(Even if you can't find your hotel)
Never go out without visiting cards
(Even false if you are not a producer)
Always look busy
(Even if you've nothing to do for hours)
Always smile at the photographers
(Even those from minor papers
Always have lots of files under your arm
(Even if they only contain advertising brochures)
Always go to the "'in" places
(Even if you can't stand the noise and the smoke)
Always know at least one producer
(Even if he doesn't know you)
GOOD LUCK AND HAVE A FGOOD TIME

Daily Photo Project

I accidentally found this video dated 2 years ago. Off course we can't see is there actually an 8 years daily pictures image by image in this web video, but his work sure deserves my sincere admiration, cause I can hardly do anything repeatedly more than 3 days.

My long lost work


Richard Clayderman - Forgetting (1995)

Not long ago. A successful musician told my husband that he has been deeply moved by this MV. Which remind me that I once directed this music video in a difficult 1995 general traffic strike condition in Paris. It was about 5 am. I walked alone into a dark snowing dawn for 45 minutes from 2nd arrondissement to an hotel particulier located in the 8th. The 5 very popular musicians' busy schedule left only 8 hours to make this world premier Taiwanese pop song's instrumental version.
I worked almost sleepless on the shooting list and still adding in 4 more shots right before the ready to shoot time. The young and ambitious producer was there yelling at me that I won't have enough time for it or he will marry me (a french way of speaking). Thanks to another young and ambitious french man. With his quick and precise cinematography skill and a great team work. I ended the shooting 20 minutes before the wrap time. Of course. The producer didn't marry me.
Something I would like to mention is that my director's cut was a much more simple and artistic version. The records company edited this very media version for whatever it's commercial reason, and my once young ego refused to put my name on this MV.
Anyhow. Thanks again to the excellent crew, and the camera girl who brought me all the good video footage. And of course all 5 musicians' delicious performence.
