The Cannes Film Festival Experience: Choose Your Own Adventure

Head back to the Residence

I decide to head over to the American Pavilion (AMPAV) Tent to wait for the next train to come. There I spot a few other UGA students sitting outside. A group of people walks up to our table to join us. They sit without saying anything. I’m the first to introduce myself to the group. First, I introduce myself to two students from New York.  I find out that they are interning with companies who have films at the festival. We talk a little about some of the best places to hang out at night in Cannes. They reveal that there’s a popular club that’s well-known for having famous DJs during the festival.


I eventually introduced myself to the third member that joined our table. Turns out he attended UGA’s prestigious law school. He excitedly asks for a picture. I was a bit skeptical to hop in a random picture with an overzealous festival attendee who may or may not have been telling the truth. I eventually opted to get in the picture.

After talking with the UGA Alum for a bit, he reveals that he’d worked with Adam Sandler in the past. He was asked what his role was, and he scooted around the question.

“Oh, I worked on Big Daddy.” He responded.

“Oh, really what was your role?” One of the UGA students asked.

“I was on set. Adam mostly just stole my beer.” The man responded.


That conversation continued like that for a bit and at some point, I’d stopped listening. After talking with a few other people for a while, I discover that there is an American Pavilion party in about an hour and a few people are thinking about attending.

Should I stay or should I leave? [choose a way to end the night]
