...That's exactly what most people would do and it's a needless expense. We basically strapped the kids in harnesses, had a pair of guys move them up the wall, shot them separately, edited them together and digitally erased the harnesses later. We got it done in one day and didn't have to train the kids or anything. I planned the special effects out very carefully-in fact, I planned them out simultaneously with the script so I could show everything to the studio at the same time.

Unfortunately, opponents of reform are trying to forestall consideration of any compromise by adding needless restrictions to the law. One Finneran idea, to pay for the law through a check-off box on tax forms, would emasculate the law by removing most of its funding.

Needless to say, because of these exorbitantly high prices, these drugs are out of reach for those most in need--especially those in sub-Saharan Africa, quickly becoming the center of the global AIDS pandemic...
...time to hang up his picture editor's loupe and take some time off to plan his next career. His duties will be assumed by Maria Wood. With a mix of envy and considerable regret, we can only say we respect his decision and wish him the best. And, needless to say, we can't wait to see what he does next...
