New Projects - Cannes And International Growth - More Upfronts Wrap Up - Summer Fun

By Abigail Hardin, May 31, 2022

Happy Tuesday, UTD!

I hope you had a wonderful Memorial Day and were able to relax and enjoy the unofficial start of Summer! 🌞 With temps already starting to soar here on the East Coast, it really does feel like Summer arrived early. Why does high heat automatically make one feel a bit more lazy and languid? You can see this reflected in the industry cycle as well. It's as if there was a mad dash leading up to Upfronts and then bam, Memorial Day arrives and tones it down a notch.

I am trying as hard as I can to lean into the idea of Summer as a time that can be productive but stress-free. Instead of getting wrapped up in the all-too-offten frenzy of busy-ness. My goal this Summer is to develop a present, in the moment, ease in tackling my to-do list. What are your goals this Summer? Sometimes goals are a tangible task or achievement and sometimes they can be a commitment to a holistic shift. I'm all about both of them right now.

Look for a return to our long format email next week, but for now, check out the highlights from last week's (semi-slowing) news circuit.

Create a great week! ✌️
