Before I came to Cannes I wondered if I would ever have the chance to make it to any premieres. Thankfully, I have been invited to several, and they are more exciting than I had even imagined. Fans line the Promenade Robert Farve le Bret as the stars pull up and pose for paparazzi. When they stand right next to me on the red carpet, it takes everything in me not to scream and tackle them, or to at least take a selfie, but we are discouraged from doing so because it is “unprofessional” (I know right, but what’s classier than a selfie?). It all creates a chaotic but surreal experience, and even though I’m just a lucky intern who is there basically by chance, it’s very easy to get the “Look at me now haters, I made it” feeling (Who are my haters? What did I make? idk.). My favorite premiere so far has been “How to Train Your Dragon: 2” because there was a dragon mascot of Toothless on the red carpet and I witnessed the
America Ferrera fiasco!
Speaking of fiasco, we have the “Lost River” premiere (directed by Ryan Gosling) tonight! Critics have been saying it is very dark, so I might not like it….but Ryan Gosling IN the dark….now that I might- macaroons? Coming.
