Travel with Me!

    Hi all!  Let's have the time of our life, together!

First stop is Lucerne, Switzerland!  Talk about an exciting itinerary.  I can hardly sleep just knowing it is the dream come true.  

Then next stop is Cannes Film Festival in Cannes, France.  My entry didn't make but oh well, why waste the sponsors' money and not attend? 

June brings the adventure in Toronto, Canada right before the September in Berlin, Germany.  We will meet all of the 'real' movers and shakers!  A lot of them are the 'real' money in the Entertainment industry. 

For me it is a funny type of reunion as  I met many of them in Santa Monica while attending AFMA now the Independent Television and Film Alliance (www.itfa-online.org).  

And they made that infamous mistake of saying when you come to...  LOL, I intend to look them up, too!  You already know!

12 hours to Travel to the Land of Heidi - Luzern, Switzerland

Sure, I had heard about Switzerland, from the movie Heidi!  I didn't know many years and days later, I would be here.  Yes learning is a great adventure to put it mildly.   From the selection process for the Entertainment Master Class to the actual event, it is to be treasured for a while.  From Oklahoma City to Washington, DC Dulles Airport was about 3 hours and from there on United the flight to Lucerne is about 9 hours.  Not to mention the time difference about 7 hours ahead.   As a independent filmmaker and producer of documentaries, I'm here to learn, network and bring home more money.  

Those signs say, 'Luzern' but I read 'Lucerne' what gives?  Luzern is the French name before the present which is a Swiss-German name.  The people here are very receptive and you may have to say things slower because as Americans we do talk fast and faster!  LOL....  But Lucern is a City on time.  Their train system and everything about it even the companies that are headquartered here state timeliness.  

I had to see everything all at once.  I am sleep deprived for about 15 hours and sightseeing in the same moment!  Upon arrival to the hotel, I ask when can I go to the Luzern Casino to look at the kiosk as all of the films for television selected are available for viewing.  I an instantly connected with Michal Ben-David, a savvy producer from Israel.  She's lived in New York City, so she's interesting!
