Cannes
I'm back from Cannes. It was an amazing week. One of the best of my life. Kit didn't win, but we realized that Cannes isn't about winning or losing; it's about being included with all those other great directors. Jim Jarmusch said it best in his acceptance speech, "I would also like to say quickly that I do not believe in competition for artistic works. It's already an honor to be selected in the competition and to be here next to such great directors as Atom Egoyan, David Cronenberg, Amos Gitaļ, Lars Von Trier, Gus Van Sant, Johnnie To and Mr. Hou Hsiao-Hsien as I am one of his students, Wim Wenders who has been so generous with me when I began making movies 20 years ago and Robert Rodriguez. I accept this award in the name of all filmmakers who follow their heart and make films that interpret their vision. We are part of the same family and it's an honor to be included in this family."

The stories will come out shortly, but in the meantime I've created a site showing a series of snapshots here. You can advance using the spacebar (instead of the small buttons on the lower left) if you're not using IE on the PC.
