In this energizing episode of How to Be Famous with Whitney Uland, I'm declaring that your celebrity summer officially begins NOW.

Whether you're posting, pitching, performing, or just figuring it all out, this is your moment to stop waiting and start being the star.

In this episode of How to Be Famous with Whitney Uland, I take you on an intimate journey through my recent trip to the Cannes Film Festival. From chaotic travel mishaps to walking the red carpet, I share the raw, behind-the-scenes reality of high-profile events and reflect on my evolution from struggling filmmaker to recognized social media influencer.
