Huma then wrote a post that read: “Cannes Film Festival is a film festival where Art is celebrated for Art's sake... I really hope some of these brands/ companies that spend hundreds of dollars sending people who have nothing to do with films instead now find a way to support small and independent films.” “I really am so proud of all the incredible women who have brought home such glory! More power to them and to our homegrown storytellers,” she said.
