Screen Media Ventures President David Fannon will be attending this year’s Cannes markets by way of Connecticut. He is, like so many of the now homebound buyers and sellers that plan on making the most of the Virtual Cannes Market, working from home offices, basements and kitchen tables.
But that doesn't mean he won't be missing the croisette. “The Cannes market, it can’t be replaced," says the fest veteran. "I mean, digital is great but it’s never going to be the same." The Screen Media team will be selling the Nicolas Cage title Wally’s World and looking to pick-up content for theatrical, VOD and for their sister company Crackle, also owned by Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment.
