Dear Markus,
Tanya York, CEO of York International would enjoy the

possibilities regarding the York film library of over 80 new

different titles per year to the international markets.
We look forward to hearing from you and the possibility of
setting up a time for a meeting.
Best wishes,

We e-mailed you last week about our Cannes romantic comedy 'My Yacht' and
wondered if you would like us to reserve you a ticket at a screening?
Shot entirely at last years festival, _'MY YACHT'_ (http://www.myyacht.tv/)
is set in many favourite Cannes locations; including Le Croisette, the
Majestic Barriere, the Carlton Terrace and even the super luxurious Hotel du
Cap-Eden-Roc.
'Ben' , a wannabe filmmaker marooned outside the festival's charmed circle
of power and influence, pretends to be a yacht-owning big producer to impress
hopeful actress 'Laura' (Anna Neil), but eventually discovers she has her
secret too. 'My Yacht' is a kind of fairy tale set in a never-never land of
overriding ambition and shameless hype.
