It's 2008. Another largely unplanned, career swerve and I’m now earning an artisanal sourdough crust as a screenwriter. Have just written a film for Sir Elton John so pop over to Cannes for a screening. EasyJet rather than private, sadly. Geoff Deane
My film It’s a Boy Girl Thing is being screened at the Cannes Film Festival. Not as part of the festival, I hasten to add. A high-school body-swap movie replete with a king’s ransom of knob gags was never going to be a serious contender for the Palme d’Or. One of the film’s executive producers, Sir Elton John, has also very generously offered to host a party and screening for the film at his chateau in Nice. All in all, I decide an EasyJet return is a solid investment.
