Daily Buzz Co-Host John Wildman speaks with Col Needham, Founder and CEO of IMDB, at the Grey Goose Rotunda on the lawn of the Hotel Majestic on Le Croisette. Needham talks with Daily Buzz about the evolution of IMDB, what films he likes at Cannes this year and what he would pick if he were on the official Cannes jury. He's seen 15 films so far and shares some of the highlights both good and bad, including what he thinks of Gus Van Sant's Sea of Trees, on this sunny afternoon in the French Riveria.
