Anyone going to Cannes in May. Any insight?

[Chris Pickle]

I'm fairly certain that I'll be going to Cannes in May. Hope to take an indie thriller feature that is near complete. Still working on sound, FX, etc. We have a few great contacts with several sales agents. I hope that the sales agent can help with all of the various buyer's contacts.

Anyone else going? Any advice for an indie filmmaker?

Specifically:

Sales agent advice.
Is it possible to just show up with a screener and hope for the best? (and with a bit of help with the sales agent)
Any leads on accommodations?

Any other info?

Thanks,
Chris
