It’s many filmmaker’s dream to be invited to Cannes, and that’s just what’s happened to one young American director which he’s still just a student, although there is a problem – he doesn’t have the cash to get to France. Therefore he’s set up a GoFundMe page with the hope of raising enough money to get him to the film festival screening in May.

It takes a look at the world of online dating, with a young man chatting online and then heading off for a date with a guy he meets on an app. However with a thousand other men waiting to chat online, modern gay dating isn’t easy.
Take a look at the short below and if you reckon its director, Robert Doobay, ought to be able to go to Cannes, you can head to GoFundMe and help out.
To give you a bit more impetus, Doobay says, “I am incredibly passionate about making movies, and I am very excited for this opportunity. However, at this time in my life, I lack the financial faculties to fund this trip. Friends, family, and fellowmen, I need your support to help fund this life-changing journey. I implore you to help me achieve this life-changing milestone and donate to help me get to the Cannes Film Festival. Anything helps and is greatly appreciated.”
