PR Stunts
have been associated with getting sorted out a couple of tricks, and some have been colossally effective and simple to coordinate, and some have been outright catastrophes and have cost fortunes. Most dynamite fiasco was the point at which was dealing with a film called ‘Break from El Diablo’. It is a couple of years prior now, yet it featured John Wayne’s most youthful child Ethan, and Timothy Van Patten. It recounted the tale of a youngster’s endeavor to escape from a Mexican jail. We realize that Ethan Wayne and Tim VP were coming to Cannes, and joyfully these were the prior days individual marketing experts rejected everything. Concluded that it would be tremendous if we would have the two young men fly over the Med in a helicopter, and afterward lower themselves down a hanging snag into a speedboat which would welcome them to a beverages gathering near the ocean before the Carlton.
There would be many picture takers obviously, and it would be headline news. The young men were available, the merchants consented to pay for the chopper, and we recruited a boat and a driver. We set up the bar, stacked with Margaritas obviously, harold matzner and posted immense alarms in the press room. We were good to go. The day at last showed up; the young men were met at the nearby air terminal and accepted the chopper with my excited collaborator was truly invigorated, and hustled down the Rosette to the holding up crowd of photographic artists to find – nobody. Not one damn picture taker other than my own ‘home’ photographic artist who we had paid to be there. Panic more alarm was receiving messages saying the chopper was prepared to fly, however needed to slow down them. What the heck might have occurred it worked out that a public interview for David Bowie had invaded and all the press and picture takers were secured to the Pala is the Cannes meeting focus. Eventually, we could hold the helicopter no more, and had around 5 minutes to find however many photographic artists could.
