PLUS: Here are your Cannes winners, with NEON having the Palme d’Or winner for the 5th time in a row, in Sean Baker’s Anora. Then again, when you pick up 5 movies at the festival — your odds are pretty good.
AND: This should be interesting — the California Employment Development Department said it may no longer recognize loan out corporations, which . . . as you may imagine could have large ramifications for the revenue of many production folks in L.A. / IATSE members. Yet another boost to local TV & film production!
Notices to those affected should go out soon, with an option to appeal, and more details are in the link.
A REST IN PEACE: Goes out to PGA Tour golfer Grayson Murray, 30, who committed suicide yesterday after playing Friday in round 2 of this weekend’s CHARLES SCHWAB tournament.
