Peanuts and Popcorn (Part III): Cannes!

Hey everyone!

I just got some GREAT news from Walter Ate A Peanut director Robin Willis. You can probably tell what it's about, but just in case you haven't figured it out from the subject line, I'll let acting diety William Shatner preface Robin's email.

Now that that's over with, here's the official word:

So... wow. I mean really, WOW! Before you ask... no, I'm not going to be headed to the south of France to attend the screening. The thought crossed my mind... but my next film (My Soul To Take, written and directed by Jason and Todd Freeman) is shooting during the festival... so even if I had the money to get over there, I really couldn't.

Still, I have to say... it's pretty amazing.
