It's been fantastic!
OT: Maya Angelou has died. She's one of the first women to become a member of the Director's Guild . She directed Down in the Delta with Alfre Woodard. She had a cameo appearance in Poetic Justice. Where her poetry was utilized for the film. She was a dancer in the film version of Porgy and Bess. Those are her film related accomplishments off the top of my head.
I loved all of the coverage!!!
Re: Maya Angelou, she was also a Tony-nominated actress (really random fact, up there with Joan Rivers also being a Tony-nominated actress). She lost to Leora Dana and competed alongside Katherine Helmond and Penelope Windust.
thanks john & goran. festival coverage is always tricky as to what to do since it feels so elitist and its more of a spectator sport than participatory... and of course we like our film culture more participatory here at TFE
I went to Cannes for the first time this year making this coverage extra delightful to follow, but I'm sure I would have enjoyed it from the other side of the Atlantic, too :)
(If anything, the Preview Podcast was great prep!)
