Neon’s Palme D’Or Whisperer Tom Quinn Reveals Keys To Cannes And Oscar Success: “I’m Happy To Share A Playbook”
NEON CEO Tom Quinn talks about how Cannes has launched Oscar campaigns for films like 'Parasite,' 'Anora,' 'Titane' and 'Anatomy of a Fall.'
The fall festival trifecta of Venice, Telluride and Toronto became much “safer” (financially and otherwise), and a more logical bet to launch an Oscar campaign, requiring only six months post-launch to keep the contender alive rather than nine. The fact is, Quinn never had a master plan, and says going back to Parasite it never crossed his mind that, after seeing it in the late-night slot — following Quentin Tarantino’s much more hyped and anticipated studio juggernaut Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, which went on to earn 10 Oscar nominations itself — it would go on to win both the Palme and Best Picture. At any rate, there is no doubt we will be seeing a lot of Quinn and his Neon team all over Cannes, whether promoting the films they are bringing or looking to find the next Parasite and Anora that just might travel all the way from the Grand Théâtre Lumière in the South of France to the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.
