Felisha Liu (W'09) was part of a semester long Penn in Cannes program which had her and other Penn undergrads attending the festival last month.

Before the program started, she shared with us two posts about her experience with the program thus far and what tactics she was going to consider in order to get into the most screenings while at Cannes.

Well, she's back ...and has some great insider info!

Check back next week for my 5-part Penn in Cannes series which will cover Felisha dishing about:

The films she saw (both the good and the bad!)
Walking the red carpet and the stars she saw
What humbling tactics she actually used to score tickets
Why her "Cinephile Badge" was the worst badge to have at the festival
Advice from Penn alumni industry big wigs who were at the Festival
Getting caught up in the frenzy of it all!

What They're Saying About This Site

"Just wanted to send a note to say thanks for your continued work w/ Dueling Tampons. it's one of the various e-news blasts I read most days. I really liked the one about '3 generations at Penn'."
-Jody Girgenti (C'98)

"As an outsider to the entertainment industry and to LA, DuelingTampons.com gave me an excellent jumping-off point to start my job search. It enabled me to learn about Penn alums in the entertainment industry and conduct necessary preliminary research. From there I was able to reach out to our incredible alumni network, schedule introductory meetings and phone calls, eventually land an interview, and finally secure an internship at a top Hollywood studio."
-Steve Gottlieb (C'04)
