So you didn’t get to party on the beach beside the Palais drinking absurd amounts of rosé this year. Well, maybe next year will be your chance…

In the meantime, let Hirsch and Mills take the sting out of the fact that you’re stuck at home with some of their Toronto-based, Cannes-inspired “episodes.”
