CANNES WITHOUT A PLAN: A Hilarious, No-Rules Adventure Now Streaming
Directed by Julie Simone and edited by Jeff Kanew, CANNES WITHOUT A PLAN is a fresh, unscripted comedy-documentary that proves it’s never too late to embrace adventure. Following three moms on a spontaneous trip to France, the film captures the joy, chaos, and unexpected hilarity of travel—no crew, no script, just a handheld camera and a whole lot of real-life moments. Distributed by Echelon Studios and now streaming on Amazon Prime, Mometu, GuideDoc, and YouTube. The film stars Jodie Fisher, Hayley Mortison, and Julie Simone.

Julie Simone is no stranger to impactful storytelling. She previously directed and co-wrote the acclaimed documentary FIDDLIN’, an uplifting, award-winning film that celebrates the birthplace of Bluegrass and Old-Time music in the Appalachian Mountains. With over 25 festival awards, a nationwide theatrical tour across 50 markets, and a top spot on the iTunes documentary charts, FIDDLIN’ highlights music’s power to bridge generations and cultures. Released by Utopia in 2019, it continues to stream globally on Apple TV, Amazon Prime, Doc+, Kanopy, Tubi, YouTube, and Plex.

While these two documentaries couldn’t be more different—CANNES WITHOUT A PLAN was filmed in just five days on a shoestring budget, whereas FIDDLIN’ took years to produce and traveled to 32 film festivals—both showcase Julie Simone’s dynamic storytelling. After bringing these unique documentaries to life, Julie is now shifting gears into the narrative world, actively developing several TV and film projects with her writing partner.
