CANNESinaVAN – (2007 crew)

Hi, if you wanna know anything about us or we're up to, then read on. If the concept and idea is enough, don't worry - we're not that interesting anyway!

We are Andy, Si and Jamie. We love the guerilla spirit of independent filmmaking. It drives so many peoples' passions to say important things about what they believe in, their infatuation with film, their comments on what's going on in the world, their creative frustrations, visions and innovations.
Every film has a creator who is undeniably committed to what they are doing, committed to their obsession.

Maybe their goal is to make a personal film about something close to their heart, maybe they have a bigger picture, maybe their career is in film. One thing is for sure - some of them you will know about in 10 years, some will win Oscars, Baftas, international awards. Some will change the publics' consciousness.

Our aim is to give these films exposure. Where that exposure takes them is an unknown quantity, but it may just help them on their way.

CANNESinaVAN – A new crew for 2008
With the absense of Jamie from this year's proceedings and Si's work commitments keeping him away for most of the festival, it leaves Andy to pick up the pieces and recruit a new crew for Cannes '08.
• First was Cath - an ex-film student with a passion for oven gloves.
• Then came Stuart, an underwater filmmaker who spends most of his time in Thailand.
• Lastly was Janus, an experienced film pro who has dabbled in pretty much everything and can be seen playing a Russian gangster in one of this year's featured films, 'The Helsinki Affair'.
So - a full complement. Together with our helpful Vanettes down in Cannes, 2008 proves to be Year of the Van!
