Meet & Greet, an event in Cannes to bring actors and talent together

Meet & Greet after the Berlin Film Festival took place at the Cannes Film Festival

Meet & Greet is the event organized by The Actors Home & Crawford Talents during the 77th Cannes Film Festival 2024. It was attended by actors, producers and directors with the goal of creating connections and opportunities between talent, from actors to directors to producers. Among the actors were Jovana Stevic, star of “Los Alamos” and director of the Japanese-Serbian Film Festival; Nicole Ansari-Cox, who has worked on the Film “What a Feeling”; Guido Broscheit, star of the series “My Life – Secrets and Passions and the new thriller Fade to Grey”; director and screenwriter Lauand Omar (“Curse of Mesopotamia”); Mara Luka, star of “All Clowns Are Bastards”; Samuel Ourabah, who starred in episodes of “Snowpiercer” and “Clem”; Nikita Rozenko, in the film “Project X-Traction”;  Giovanna Nodari, actress of the TV series “Another Monday” and director of the short film Decent People.

The Actors’ Home is a community for actors from all over the world. It is a safe place for actors to be, to connect, to ask industry questions, and to basically work together as a group to grow their careers, to network, to meet each other, and to be part of our beautiful industry – said Luci Lenox – I created a group during the pandemic because so many actors were at home and they were completely lost. And then after the pandemic, we made it into this platform because I didn’t want to be on social media. I wanted it to be a much safer place. So it’s a private platform. So we started just over nearly two years now”.

The Actors Home now has members from 62 countries: actors have different agencies, but here they can interact and help each other. “We help people when they move to new countries to connect with the acting community.

“We help actors come together like today to talk, to meet, and to share their experience. So basically, all these actors have different agencies, they have different signs, but you also create an environment where they can ask questions about, maybe they don’t want to ask other people, and they do help each other. We also have a free program for people who are on maternity or paternity leave. To help actors when they’re out of the industry, they can’t work, but they need to keep training, but they don’t have the money. After Berlin, the Cannes Film Festival is the ideal place to gather talent. Is there’s so many actors come on their own and then they wander around at the beginning of the festival feeling they don’t know they don’t feel important. An event like Meet&Greet serves to bring actors together; they feel like they’re part of something”.
