<strong>Hello</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>welcome</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>fifth</strong> <strong>edition</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>our</strong> <strong>Little</strong> <strong>Black</strong> <strong>Book</strong>.<br />
<strong>Each</strong> year, it has become a Raindance tradition <strong>to</strong> pool <strong>our</strong> business cards, type <strong>the</strong>m up along with a line about how we found <strong>the</strong>m<br />
useful <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong>n share <strong>the</strong>m with o<strong>the</strong>r Raindancers. We haven’t included <strong>the</strong> cards <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> hundreds <strong>of</strong> talented filmmakers breaking<br />
in – <strong>the</strong>re just isn’t enough space.<br />
We also haven’t included a single UK company – why would you waste a trip <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Cotes d’Azur talking <strong>to</strong> a Brit when <strong>the</strong>re are so<br />
many talented people from o<strong>the</strong>r countries <strong>to</strong> see?<br />
How can one itsy bitsy arts company from London meet all <strong>the</strong>se people? Well, <strong>the</strong>re were eight <strong>of</strong> us, <strong>and</strong> we had five whole days.<br />
This gives you an idea <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> breadth <strong>and</strong> scope <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Cannes Film Festival, <strong>and</strong> an idea <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> serious amount <strong>of</strong> networking that<br />
goes on <strong>the</strong>re. I’d guess Raindance covered about f<strong>our</strong> percent <strong>of</strong> what was happening <strong>the</strong>re!<br />
Enjoy,<br />
Elliot Grove <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> Raindance Team<br />
