We couldn't have summed it up any better! 🙌 Our partnership with #CannesNext and Marché du Film - Festival de Cannes on the inaugural #NextTechOnTheBeach Investment + Innovation Summit was a huge success! Meaningful relationships and connections were made by all. One of the highlights for us was our Fireside Chat with Christina Lee Storm, Daniel De La Rosa and moderator Katrina King discussing Entertainment Technology Center @ USC “EUROPA” virtual production project, and the innovation around filmmaking in the cloud with the support of Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Metadata Workflow. Many thanks to everyone who helped make it possible including Guillaume Esmiol, Sten Saluveer, Harry M Glazer, Nicole Marsalis, Jules Fournier, and Philomene Perroches (and everyone named below). We look forward to working together again in the future to bring even more cutting-edge film, media + entertainment tech to the Marché and Festival! 🎞 QUANTIC BRAINS Reality Defender Deeptune #sprockit
