No, this doesn't mean that hot chick from American Idol who sings "Before He Cheats" is doing a concert in France! ;-)

What it means is that the short film U: The Underwood Company—in which I appear as a character named "Packard Winslow"—has been accepted into the Cannes Film Festival's "Short Film Corner" program.

According to Underwood director Joe Varhola, the Short Film Corner is "a 'market' for short filmmakers looking to sell their shorts to american/international television or the internet. It's also a place to find perspective investors to expand shorts to features."

The program runs from May 14th through the 24th, and you can actually go online and check out the films at www.shortfilmcorner.com. And, just in case you forgot what film I'm talking about here, click over to my "videos" section and check out the trailer! (There's also a scene from the film in my "theatrical/feature" demo on the same page!)

This is huge for me! It officially marks my first appearance at Cannes! (Let's hope it's not the last!)
