The U.S based Sales Agent and Production Co. company comes to Cannes with items for sale and surprisingly enough, they've got a Main Comp entry in Nicolas Winding Refn's Drive. We've got big eyes for a title Sierra/Affinity is repping in Oren Moverman's Rampart which I predict great things for, and Matt Piedmont directorial debut film which might confirm the genius I found in his Sundance winning short films.
I was beginning to think that Oren Moverman's emotionally charged directorial debut was going to be a victim of not indifference, but the distributors being afraid of the movie-going public's lack of interest for films somehow related to the Iraq war.
Cut down from 24 down to 16 and with less studio content means more films up for sale. Let the buzz begin. Among the must sees: the sombre debut from scribe Oren Moverman (The Messenger), the long awaited debut of Gregor Jordan's The Informers and you'll be surprised by what Killer Films' Katherine Dieckmann's Motherhood might have in store.
