Exclusive: Buyers in Cannes are getting a look at a documentary on the L.A. wildfires directed by Conscious Contact CEO David Goldblum, a resident of the Big Rock community in Malibu that was devastated by the runaway blazes.
Production just wrapped on Big Rock Burning: An Untold Story of the 2025 LA Fires, executive produced by actor Mark Hamill, Oscar-winning director Bryan Fogel (Icarus), Secret Sauce Media founder Julie Parker Benello, Trevor Burgess, and Marilou Hamill.
