Who is “Cannes”?

Thanks to the terrific petition posted yesterday by Melissa Silverstein, we now have an answer to the question I asked earlier today:

“Who is ‘Cannes’?”

And the answer: Surprise! Surprise!! “Cannes” is disproportionately male!!!

Not only that, but the men on the jury are primarily filmmakers (a more powerful role), whereas the women who are on the jury are primarily actresses (a less powerful role).

Here is the main thing I have learned these past ten years from Martha Lauzen: Don’t look for justifications & don’t question motives. Just keep track of the [dismal] numbers & force those who create them to live with the results.

These numbers really do speak, & sooner or later everyone will finally hear what they say!

Meanwhile over 200 people have already signed Melissa’s online petition, so add your name to this important cause ASAP:

Let’s go viral & hold their feet to the fire!

    – FF2 Media is kinda boring. You should glance at Yahoo’s home page and see how they write article
    titles to get viewers to click. You might try adding a video or a pic or two
    to grab readers excited about what you’ve got to say.
    In my opinion, it could make your website a little
    bit more interesting.

  29. I have been surfing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article
    like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all web owners and bloggers made
    good content as you did, the internet will be much more useful than ever before.

  30. Hi, i think that i saw you visited my blog thus i came to “return the favor”.I’m attempting to find things to improve my site!I suppose its ok to use some of your ideas!!

  31. Aw, this was a very good post. Finding the time and actual
    effort to produce a superb article… but what can I say… I hesitate a whole lot and never seem to
    get anything done.

  32. Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though
    you relied on the video to make your point.

    what if you wrote a catchier title? I am not saying your content isn’t good.,
    however suppose you added a post title that grabbed a person’s attention? I mean Who is “Cannes”?
    – FF2 Media is kinda vanilla. You should glance at Yahoo’s home page and watch how they create article titles to get people to open the links.
    You might add a video or a pic or two to get readers excited about what you’ve written. Just my opinion, it would
    make your posts a little bit more interesting.
