Stage 32

Some shots from the Opening Night Party for the Marche du Film at Cannes. We celebrated our 11th year of Stage 32 being the official education partner of the Marche with the people who make the whole Dan thing run…effortlessly. Love these humans. Much more to come! ❤️

Another amazing day continues on the Marche. Loved dropping some knowledge at the Stage 32 State of the Industry panel at Film USA at Cannes.

The controversy was a byproduct of the clarity. Tarantino. Nolan. Bong Joon-ho. Aronofsky. None of them were being controversial for the sake of it. They were being specific. Are you telling your story the best possible way — or the safest way? #Stage32 #Filmmaking #Cannes2026

@EDW_Concepts How dare you do your job?! Keep going!

@Stage32 You need the tunnel into someone's ear. This isn't that hard to understand. I had someone attempt this and was yelled at according to him. Yelled at because the producer said in so many words "how dare you think I would read work from anyone you know." It's a crapshoot.

People ask all the time: “Is Disney looking for material?” Yes. But major companies usually don’t discover scripts randomly. Someone trusted typically opens the door. What matters most in getting your work noticed: The concept, the relationship, or the timing? #Screenwriting #Filmmaking

For over a decade my first stop at Cannes has always been Da Laura. By far, my favorite place in Cannes, not only because the food is amazing, but because of the one and only Laura, the most incredible hostesses on the planet. So many memories here. Friendships made and grown, deals done, and conversations that changed lives. Now I feel like I’m home.
