About the session:

Ever thought Cannes film festival is beyond your reach as an actor ?

Attended Cannes and felt absolutely lost ?

Wondered how directors, producers and agents seem so busy in pre-booked meetings while at the festival?

Here’s your chance to learn how it’s possible for actors to get into Cannes, book 1:1 meetings with the buyers of their talent and create a festival strategy that actually gets them results.

In this Q&A I'll reveal how all actors, from recent drama school graduates to seasoned professionals, can navigate CANNES or any A-list festival and land auditions, sign with agents, sell their scripts, and meet directors, producers, agents and CD’s in 1:1 meetings by accessing databases full of invaluable contacts.

Join me as I pull away the curtain about one of the most prestigious festivals in the world and reveal the facts behind the myths that are getting in your way.

About the Facilitator:

Carla B. Guttmann is a Canadian director and A-list festival coach. Her A-list festival coaching puts actors in touch with directors, producers, CD’s and agents in personalized meetings from all over the world. It is based on a strategy of pre-booking 1:1 meetings by getting into specific festival databases before the festival even begins. Her main focus is Cannes, Berlinale, TIFF, and Gothenburg, but these strategies can be applied to all A-list festivals.

To date, she has worked with actors in over 23 countries such as the US, Canada, the UK, Ireland, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Poland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, Cyprus, Bulgaria, Turkey, Ukraine, Argentina, India, Israel, and Greece.

Her biggest success stories include actors who signed with Crawford Talents, Friends Connection and Hobrig managements during Berlinale; actors who signed with Rose and Mane, Ray Talents and Maison des Artistes while at Cannes; actors who booked 1:1meetings with the producers of Oscar-winning “All is quiet on the western front” while at Cannes; actors who left Berlin with several auditions after 1:1 meetings; and actors who used the European Film Market (EFM) at the Berlinale and the Marché du Film at Cannes to sell their tv series to streamers.

You can sign up to her CANNES STARTER & PRO KITS year round but Carla highly recommends starting at six months before the Cannes application launches on February 1, to create a bulletproof application and have the time to research directors, producers, CD’s and agents in a calm and professional way.
