Support Colin Evans' Cannes Film Festival Internship

Description:

Hi everyone! My name is Colin Evans, and I’ve been given the incredible opportunity to participate in a prestigious internship program at the Cannes Film Festival, one of the most important film festivals in the world. This internship, hosted by The American Pavilion, will provide me with hands-on experience in the film industry, giving me a unique chance to network with professionals, attend exclusive screenings, and participate in events that could shape the rest of my career.

I’m passionate about filmmaking and have worked hard to hone my skills, recently producing a documentary "Finding Failure" detailing my mom's journey towards a 100-mile ultramarathon. Check it out here! This project has been my most viewed yet, and I want to continue pursuing opportunities that can launch my career in the industry. The Cannes Internship is the perfect next step, but I need your help to get there!

What the $10,000 will cover:

Round-trip flight to France: $1,500

Accommodation for 2 weeks in Cannes: $3,500

Cannes Film Festival exclusive access pass: $3,000

Miscellaneous costs (every day meals, transportation): $2,000

Why Cannes?

Why I Need Your Help:

While I’ve worked hard to secure my spot in this prestigious program, the cost of travel and living expenses in France is more than I can cover on my own. That's why I’m reaching out to my community, friends, and family. With your support, I’ll be able to cover the costs of travel, accommodation, and the exclusive access pass needed to make the most of this incredible opportunity.

How You Can Help:

Donate: Any amount, big or small, brings me closer to this once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Share: Even if you can't contribute financially, sharing this page with your network will help tremendously!

This opportunity could be the stepping stone I need to break into the film industry and turn my passion into a career. Thank you so much for your support, and I can’t wait to share my Cannes journey with all of you!
