I am a Communications major and French minor at Quinnipiac University in Hamden, CT, USA

During the festival I worked with fest21.com and CFC to organize 5 events throughout the festival on The Future of Cinema. I helped with setting up the events, welcoming guests, and promoting the events. I also blogged for the website on topics such as Indiana Jones, Cursed for Gold, Une Conte de Noel, and the Cinema de la Plage. During the festival, I was able to attend the premiere's of Kung Fu Panda, Two Lovers, and Cursed for Gold.

Real Crystal Skulls Are Far More Fantastic than Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

cannes — Mon, 26 May 2008 16:02:04 +0200

"The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" is certainly entertaining in typical Indiana Jones style. The film is likely to feed the minds of skeptics where crystal skulls are concerned because of the strong extraterrestrial theme, but people who are into ET's and UFO's will be thrilled.
