One of the great things about getting into the Cannes Competition is participating in the festival rituals. I spoke to producer Christine Vachon, who attended Cannes with her frequent collaborator Todd Haynes and "Carol," Starring Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara. What's it like to be part of one of the big films there? You’re like, 'Okay, here’s the photo call. Here’s what we do.' The producer always stands on the end so they can get cut out. It’s like an unwritten law. You’re lucky if you’re standing next to Cate, so a bit of face will make its way in. You know what to expect, but, at the same time, you know that you go up the carpet, the director chooses the music. And the press conference is, again, I usually anticipate sitting up there like a houseplant, but that’s fine. I smile.
