While shooting photos from this angle I was being yelled at by a security person who felt that I should not be on the carpet itself taking photos, but rather in the pit with the other photographers. I let him know I did not agree, and carried on. Caitlin Cronenberg for The Globe and Mail

Open this photo in gallery: Brandon is mobbed outside the theatre just moments after the standing ovation for Antiviral. People ask for autographs and take photos of him. As I exited the theatre with my father, a man came up to us and said, ‘That film was truly a masterpiece!’ To which my father responded, ‘You should tell my son!’ Caitlin Cronenberg for The Globe and Mail

At a festival like Cannes it is easy to lose sight of why we are all there, but spending time with family is always important. Truly a once in a lifetime experience.
