This year marked a monumental milestone for Stage 32, our 10th year on La Croisette! In many ways, it was our most successful year yet. During our first-ever Stage 32 Cannes meetup, we had a close-knit group of 17 people in attendance. This year, we grew to 1500 attendees at our Stage 32 party in partnership with Variety!

It was amazing to see so many people from our global community show up to celebrate, network, and support each other. We had Stage 32 members screening their films and closing big deals, showcasing the immense talent that we’re lucky to foster here every day. We also had members attending and hosting panels, furthering their education and understanding of our ever-evolving creative industry. I was inspired by all of you who approached Amanda and me to share your stories and what Stage 32 means to you.

Being at Cannes is always a privilege, but this year really was something special. Over the next few weeks, we’re going to provide you all with highlights of the panels that we hosted and the valuable insights that were shared with us. So stay tuned!

Today, we’re kicking things off with a recap of our events...
