Bittersweet Gifts

Threading your way through the many booths and stands in the Marche, one looks around at all the eager companies looking to sell, distribute or promote their films.  Many booths have fliers, brochures, colorful posters and business cards to promote their business.  However, we were surprised today when chatting with receptionist Desiree Montalvo, at Worldwide Film Entertainment, when we were handed a simple white box with a neat black ribbon containing a coffee cookbook, based on one of the films they were selling, "Bittersweet." Apparently they had just sold the movie for airplane viewing, and were looking to give away a few extra promotional items.  You just never know what you will find in the Marche du Film in Cannes.
