Anyway, I heard from a journalist about how that Ogrestina press conference in Venice went down. 😁😁
So? What's the deal?
A massive win for American cinema!!!

Do I really have to be the one to rain on everyone's parade? 😁😁
Fine, if you insist.
So, basically, the press conference room was completely empty at first.
Then, just moments before things were supposed to kick off, a bus full of reporters from all over the States rolls up and they immediately swarm every single "vacant" seat in the house.
A photographer snaps a quick shot, and wouldn't you know it, by the next morning, it’s front and center in The New York Times with a headline like "Orestes holds press conference regarding Red Dust".
It feels like a modern-day version of Potemkin villages, wouldn't you say?
