Face it, you won’t spend every waking moment at Cannes on the red carpet, in press junkets or tents dealing with industry folk. You’re also here to drink, party and nail that PR assistant that spammed your inbox during the past 6 months. Well, we support you in your endeavors (but we won’t buy that first script you’ve been sitting on for years). No, we’re talking about helping you land the best Instagram photos to make those Facebook friends you don’t even really know jealous of your glamorous life!
