I met @stephanebak for the first time last year in Paris through a mutual friend. I noticed when I was going over the list of films at the festival that Stéphane has not one but two films playing here — one in competition, one out of competition. I shot him a text when I was boarding the plane to come over here. Sure enough, he was willing to do me a solid and participate in the diary. He earned bonus points for not wanting to shoot in his hotel room. We hit La Croisette. Stéphane has style for days and, more importantly, a great energy. I’m super excited for his films here. #10yearsofxmount
