Poster signed by Arnold for Bruno Chatelin as a thank you token of fantastic Box Office records in France
I have been working with film festivals and helping filmmakers for the past 20 years in various capacities. There was only one big lesson I learnt in festivals: Cannes can work miracles for you, if you do the right thing with the right people : dare, work hard and be creative in each of your actions.
HERE IS THE DETAILED STORY OF A 40M $ HANDSHAKE TO ME FOLLOWING OUR SUCCESS...
I am filmmaker
A festival organizer
A journalist
A film professionnal (neither filmmaker, nor festival staff or media)
A film student
Just a film fan

This field of film will always be looking fo...
