Happy Sunday, Creative Army!

Have you had a creative weekend so far? I have some content here for you that is sure to get the creative juices flowing, so grab your coffee, and let's dive in.

First up, in this video from StudioBinder, they’re breaking down seven essential elements of directing by one of this generation’s stellar auteurs, Sofia Coppola, and how she uses them to create a sense of isolation around lost protagonists. From the plot level, production design, color choices, post-production, sound design, music, and cinematography, few filmmakers can create an introspective mood or dreamy headspace like Sofia Coppola. All of us have felt lost or alone, which is why these small, intimate portraits of similar individuals resonate.

Next up, I am absolutely fired up for Cannes this year! Even for first-timers, there is so much opportunity there. Every year I have gone, I am more prepared for the next one. In this video, I share how you can maximize your time at the Cannes Film Festival.
