It's an unwritten rule that at any one point in the fabled Cannes Market there will always be four James Van Der Beek films looking for someone with a lot of money and very little taste to buy them.

The same goes for Tim Allen, who seemingly still has a career despite the fact that nobody is actually aware that he's still making films. The only evidence are the sad looking posters adorning the cubicles and corridors of the Market.

Sadly, not every film in Cannes gets picked up, but if you can convince a PR or seller to let you in, you can literally be one of the only people in the entire world to see them.
