Submit Response is a weblog by Jack Mottram, a Cannes Exclusive (Michael Moore Edition)
Our woman in Cannes, Hannah McGill, sends a tidbit on Michael Moore and his beleagured Bush-bashing documentary, Fahrenheit 9/11.
Already lacking a distributor, after the Disney-owned Buena Vista International balked at it’s content (despite the fact that the film was financed by Disney-owned Miramax), poor Moore now finds himself without press representation. Which must sting for such a shameless self-publicist.
Until yesterday, Moore was on the books of publicists McDonald & Rutter, but not any more. Fed up with the constant to-and-fro between Miramax, the Disney spin machine and Moore himself, Jonathon Rutter said, ‘Life is too short to work with people like that.’
Ouch.
On the plus side, for Moore if not his subject, Hannah reports that the film is a corker - ‘spectacular stuff’ to be precise - and looks likely to have secured a distributor before the week is out.
