L.A.-based independent filmmaker Jeffrey Travis (Flatlands) brought his latest short, Pollution, to the Short Film Corner at Cannes, and he’s using the trip to also look for a foreign sales agent for his new independent feature, Dragon Day. Below he talks about stalking the aisles of the Cannes Film Market, and why he hopes international buyers will warm to a dystopian near-future drama that imagines a U.S. destroyed by a cyber attack from China.
Filmmaker: So how has the Cannes Film Market been for you?
Jeff Travis: It’s been interesting. Before I knew very little about the whole world of sales agents, what they did. I think coming to Cannes is a little overwhelming — you see the sheer amount of films and business that goes on. The scales fall off your eyes, and it can be a little disconcerting for a director — maybe less so for a producer.

Whenever I think of the apocalypse, I tend to think of it as manifesting due to a natural disaster, a virus or some out-of-this-world phenomenon (like an alien invasion). I’m sure at some point I’ve connected it with war but I can pretty much guarantee that I never considered it from the perspective of Jeffrey Travis’ Dragon Day.
Think for a moment of all the bits of technology you own, from your microwave to your car. 90% of those items are made in China and chances are, it has a chip of some sort in it. There’s also a very high chance that there are millions of others in the Us (and likely the world) who have that same item. Travis and co-writer Matt Patterson’s story takes place after China calls a type of war on the Us by literally shutting down the country via those pesky made in China chips.
