HOLLYWOOD DISCOVERS CROWDFUNDING

CANNES, France--The Cannes Film Festival can sometimes make room for someone a little different. Someone, say, like Jeremy Saulnier, a little-known director who, at 36, has used a little pluck and plenty of Kickstarter to defy the stereotypes of the world's most prestigious (and expensive) festival.

Thanks to the democratizing advantages of crowdfunding, Saulnier is showing an alternative path to the normally elite precincts of the Cannes Film Festival. Saulnier’s film "Blue Ruin" isn't like most here, which are financed lavishly by foreign distributors, Hollywood studios or government film funds.

Saulnier and his wife liquidated their retirement accounts, refinanced their home and ran up well over a $100,000 in credit-card debt to make the movie. But the real key came when, needing tens of thousands of dollars to trigger cast and crew deals, Saulnier put his project on Kickstarter. He raised the necessary $35,000 in a matter of weeks.

EU AGREES TO LIMIT BANKER BONUSES

File - In this Sept. 7, 2010 file photo, members of Oxfam are dressed as bankers during a demonstration outside of a meeting of EU finance ministers at the EU Council building in Brussels. Top European Union officials late Wednesday, Feb. 27, 2013 struck an agreement on a package of financial laws that includes capping bankers' bonus payments at a maximum of one year's base salary. The bonuses will only be allowed to reach twice the annual fixed salary if a large majority of a bank's shareholders agrees. (AP Photo/Virginia Mayo, File)(Credit: AP)
