Michael Bremer

Dir of Student Programs

The American Pavilion/Cannes International Film Festival

While still a Senior at UCLA's school of Motion Pictures & Television, Mike began his career working as a Casting and Production Assistant on feature films. This led to work the day after graduation as an Agent Trainee, before transitioning into International Distribution as Director of International Sales for Lorimar and Warner Brothers International. But his agent roots called again at the height of the home video boom, as he left sales to become an Acquisitions Agent for foreign distributors, traveling the world on behalf of clients in Japan, Germany, South Korea, Italy, Spain, and Latin America among others.

As home video waned with the international privatization of television, Mike segued into producing, arranging the financing and distribution for two independent features (Lies and Whispers, aka Prague Duet, and Do You Wanna Dance?), followed by two television films (More Than Meets the Eye: The Joan Brock Story and CyberSeduction), followed by two self-help books (Dr. Laura Schlesinger's "Ten Stupid Things Women do to Mess up Their Lives" and Heidi Murkoff's "What to Expect When You're Expecting"), the latter two at CBS prior to the dissolution of CBS's Original Movie division.

In 2007 Mike returned to Warner Brothers on a six-month independent contractor assignment that ended up going nearly five years. It was during this time that he realized he missed Cannes, the mother of all Film Festivals, and, when the opportunity presented itself, jumped at the chance to lead The American Pavilion's Cannes student programs. At Cannes 2013, Mike shepherded 175 students and mentors through The American Pavilion's most successful festival in its 25-year history.
