Good morning, fellow artists! Welcome to another exciting edition of my weekly Hollywood blog. On April 19th, I shared the thrilling news that our script, “The Third Act,” was selected as one of only 20 global finalists for the prestigious Largo.ai pitch competition at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival Marché du Film. I wanted to give you all a quick update.
Our leader, Richard Lawson, pitched “The Third Act” on May 14th, and it was a huge success. The reception was incredible—he even had people stop him on the street to let him know how wonderful the story was. He followed up the pitch with a fantastic meeting with an agent at one of the top agencies in the world. In addition, he met with an accomplished business executive who has helped many companies thrive. This executive shared some wonderful insights with Richard, viewing “The Third Act” as a “gold mine” and suggesting it might be more impactful as a series rather than a film. As a multi-season series, it would have a much wider reach. Richard will schedule follow-up meetings to not only continue fleshing out this idea, but to pitch a world where both the film and series can coexist. I will be sure to keep you all updated! Keep reading below 🙂
See you next week!
