Has anyone heard of this festival or plan on following it? It looks pretty cool to me - as part of the event they have a competition where teams of young film-types compete to create a short film spot in only 48 hours. You can follow along on the website to see behind the scenes shots and then watch the final films. If you’re interested in film you would probably be into this. Here’s the site if you want to follow along - [Cannes Lions Festival](http://www.nseries.com/index.html#l=campaigns,cannes) Let me know if anyone knows someone there.
