Chalets de l'Eau Verte Champs-sur-Tarentaine-Marchal

... guy who was smooth but did nothing, the endless supply of pastries from somewhere no-one could see, the damping pummeller which only worked for 30 seconds at a time, the ogling of the pretty woman waiting for the train …

Rochelle and Sue negotiated a 108 euro discount for our problems with the boat, while we were away … which ...

Woke up at 8 and left for Maison De La Culture without breakfast. Attended Yoon Hang's Q&A 'Expresso' session at 10am. The sessions were running late as the first french one took nearly half an hour. Mine was ok- not stellar but not bad. The 2 french forum heads said some nice things like it was seductive, very surprising and well done. Then we went to eat at Casino Cafeteria across the street with Daniel. And after ...

Went to Old Town by bus B. Walked around. Quaint town. Bought some Michelin merchandise as Clermont-Ferrand is the global HQ for the Tyre company. Ate at Pascal Cafe. Then went for our final screening at 4pm at Couteau (the biggest theatre-about 1,400). Attendance was good-packed. Response was better than I expected as many were not that young to appreciate my short. We ...

Got up at 11ish. Called M to ask about the marketing plans I had submitted the night before. He then told me about the 'problem' they have with WC at thye moment. Well... Met Shane, a SF director at the bus stop. After waiting a bit, we decided to take Bus B to town and then a tram to MDLC. Reached Masion de la Culture at about 12:15. Met Emmerline & Yuni there- they are leaving today. Carlos showed us a copy of ...

Woke at 12noon. Late as I wanted to do work earlier also late for fixing a lunch appointment with Objectifs. Met the Thai Director and actor of 'In the name of Sin' on the shuttle. Sat down straight away at Filmmart Media Rendevous to work. Nokia Asis Pac Marketing Manager liked our Nokia N93 Singapore version so much he tried to contact us. It's now at 5K plus hits. Amazing. Happy for small victories. Work till 5:15pm. Not finished but had to go ...

Woke up early to rush to attend Objectivs screening at 9am. Attendence was ok. Watched their portfolio of shorts that they represent- some were very good, also have a wide selection of shorts from around the Asian region. Then Em went to did some work whilst I attended the 11am Canal_ talk on shorts acquisition. It was packed and I couldn't really hear anything ...

2nd Day at Clermont-Ferrand. Coughing the whole night, getting really sick and couldn't sleep from 3-6am. Then we woke at 9ish to take our breakfast- a simple bread and croissant affair. Then we slept till 3pm! Too sick and tired and maybe still jet-lagged and still on Utah time. Reached the Maison De Culture at 4pm. Bought more lozenges. Checked out the Marketplace-1st day of business. Looks more like selling than buying. Got a ...

Our first actual day at Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Festival. We can feel the difference between this and Slamdance. The festival is more spread out. More civilised-i.e. no pasting over another guys' posters. English is not the preferred language here. Should have translated the logline in French. We pasted some posters at some areas. Maybe we should bring more posters for Clermont as it has even more areas to put posters ...

... any idea what kind of amount will be charged. And the amount varied widely! Our friend had told us Avignon was dull and way too touristy, but we had a very different experience. Unless we're way more mainstream than we thought (not too likely). We really enjoyed the town, and if you haven't been in one of these medieval walled towns before, I'd think this would be a great one to start in. People were very friendly, and ...

... Bien celle-ci c'est pas ne auberge c'est un centre pour jeunes délinquant. Bref je suis contente de m'être acheté une nouvelle pair de soulier mais je criss mon camp de cette ville ennuyeuse. Dsl pour les habitants de Roanne. C'est mon impression.
