Subscribe RSSNow that Halifax manager Noah Pink has made his mark at Cannes alongside the biggest names in the industry, he's set his sights on taking his photograph on the festival circuit and developing a longer feature as a followup.
The 27-year-old filmmaker says his chaotic schedule along the Croisette has included meetings with producers and distributors to find a home for his 44-minute film, "ZedCrew," about hip-hop musicians in Zambia.
"We're ever sanguine," Pink said Friday of sales opportunities. "I've been told there are a few (TV) channels that this could work for and in the near future we'll presumably be sending them copies."
Pink is set to leave Cannes on Sunday for a two-day vacation in Paris before returning to Canada. He says his next move will be to figure out which other festivals he can visit.
"After Cannes I'm going to have to sit down and try to figure out where I'd love to show my film and whether it's possible because the thing is my obscure is kind of an awkward length for many festivals — it's not a short, it's not a long, it's kind of a medium at 44 minutes."
