They're just a little higher up, that's all...." Joan Jett Synopsis Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning star as Joan Jett and Cherie Currie in The Runaways, the music-fuelled, coming of age story of the groundbreaking, all girl 1970s rock band. Written and directed by Floria Sigismondi, Apparition will release the film on March 19, 2010. Los Angeles 1975, Joan Jett (KRISTEN STEWART) and Cherie Currie (DAKOTA FANNING), two teenage valley girls with punk in their blood, meet and become the heart and soul of the seminal all girl band, The Runaways. Floria Sigismondi brings The Runaways to the big screen in this story of a group of extraordinary young women as they rise from rebellious Southern California kids to rock stars of the now legendary band that paved the way for future generations of girl musicians. Under the Svengali-like influence of rock impresario Kim Fowley (MICHAEL SHANNON), the group evolves into an outrageous success and a family of misfits. With its toughchick image and raw talent, the band quickly earns a name for itself-and so do its two leads: Joan is the band's pure rock 'n' roll heart, while Cherie, with her Bowie-Bardot looks, is the sex kitten. The Runaways is produced by John Linson, Art Linson and Bill Pohlad. Joan Jett, Kenny Laguna and Brian Young serve as executive producers. The film marks the first theatrical collaboration between Apparition and River Road Entertainment. Introduction At the core of The Runaways is the relationship between Joan Jett and Cherie Currie (Stewart and Fanning). A tumultuous, love-hate partnership on and off stage that bloomed over the course of the band's meteoric rise, their wild life on the road fuelled by sex, drugs and booze and the eventual dissolution of The Runaways just three years and five albums later. The Runaways is as much a coming of age story as it is the story of a band set against the backdrop of the colourful crowds at Rodney Bingenheimer's famed LA club English Disco where Jett and Currie met; the arduous and often abusive recording process which led to hits like "Cherry Bomb," and the Beatle mania-like reception upon their arrival in Japan. Academy Award-nominee Michael Shannon plays the über-eccentric Kim Fowley who helps form The Runaways and serves as the band's foul-mouthed manager caught between manufacturing the girls' "jailbait" image and keeping the teenagers in line and out of trouble long enough to get them to the next gig or cut the next record. Scout Taylor-Compton (Halloween, Love Ranch) and Stella Maeve (Gossip Girl, Brooklyn's Finest) play Runaways founding members Lita Ford and Sandy West, respectively. Alia Shawkat (Whip It, Arrested Development) plays "Robin," a fictional composite character representing the numerous personalities who've played bass for the band. Model and Elvis Presley's granddaughter, Riley Keough joins as Cherie Currie's twin sister Marie and Oscar winning-actress Tatum O'Neal rounds out the cast as Marie Harmon, Cherie's former actress mother. Oscar-winning production designer Eugenio Caballero (Pan's Labyrinth) lends his remarkable talents to recreate the look of the mid-to-late 1970s - moving from the dreamy innocence of Southern California to the metallic, stark grey and white of Japan - and a group of girls losing their way. Noted music supervisor George Drakoulias (The Hangover) not only delves into a treasure trove of mid-seventies rock hits, but was instrumental during the process of re-recording tracks with Stewart and Fanning singing, to avoid as Stewart puts it, "coming off as frauds." John and Art Linson (Fight Club, FX's Sons of Anarchy) produced the film along with River Road CEO Bill Pohlad (Into the Wild, Brokeback Mountain). Executive producer and music legend, Joan Jett, was on set nearly every day to offer firsthand guidance on what it was like to have lived out this extraordinary story of a couple of young girls who dream to be rock stars, and then have to face all that comes with having that dream come true. The Production Summer 2009, Kristen Stewart transforms into a fiery red leather jumpsuit-wearing, guitarstrumming powerhouse. Immediately to her right, Dakota Fanning is now a glam rock star, wearing a tight corset and fishnets. The crowd goes wild as the band rips into the thunderous "Cherry Bomb," The Runaways' biggest hit. The hyper-realistic moment is something far more than actors filming a scene: Fanning is really singing and Stewart is really playing as tears begin to fill the eyes of the real Cherie Currie and Joan Jett, who are watching their lives play out thirty years later. The fans are pretending to cheer for The Runaways but are sincerely star-struck at the site of Fanning and Stewart. Raw truth and authenticity prevail as Floria Sigismondi directs the camera to capture the moment at every conceivable angle. For the characters it is the apex of their journey. For the young actors, it is near the end of an intense month-long shoot, where they have been challenged by the grittiest, and perhaps deepest, roles of their careers. Sigismondi wasn't interested in making a biopic or celebrating the past. She saw The Runaways as a way to tell a story of empowerment where young girls come into their own and set out to make a place for themselves. "It is a coming of age story of young women kind of getting in too far deep into, and kind of surviving, their time together," said Sigismondi. "They just get too far, lost in their circumstance. But it is not a documentary. I have taken liberties with trying to depict the truth through the events, and finding a story beyond what we know." This story was four years in the making- beginning with producer John Linson (Lords of Dogtown) who licensed the rights to Currie's book and set out to get this movie made. Growing up around the entertainment business and the music industry (his father is renowned producer Art Linson- Fast Times at Ridgemont High, The Untouchables, Heat- also a producer on The Runaways), John Linson was particularly versed on the toll fame can take, especially on youth. He was at a party talking music and the name Cherie Currie came up. Cherie was someone Linson admits to "having a bit of a crush on" when he was a young kid reading the wild tales of The Runaways in "Creem" magazine. As the others conversed about the impact of The Runaways on music, Linson was struck with the idea of "making a movie about two young girls who go up against Hollywood." To do The Runaways justice, Linson knew this wasn't going to be some PG-13 sugar-coated version of the band that quells the racier parts of the story. "It wasn't as much to do a music film as much as a teenage girl powered drama that tells the truth of what life can be and not be in LA," Linson continues. To make the movie they wanted to make, the Linsons needed the right backing from a production company that was unafraid to produce films that fly in the face of studio formulas and convention. They didn't have to look far to find River Road Entertainment, given Art Linson had just produced Sean Penn's acclaimed adaptation of Jon Krakauer's Into the Wild, based on the life Christopher McCandless and his extraordinary journey into the American West. For a company that has made a number of "true stories," River Road is not interested in simply recreating the past. The company aims to produce films that stand the test of time in the sense that they are more about the characters' progression and the broader meaning of their lives as much as the individual beats along the way. The Linsons and River Road founder Bill Pohlad were in sync on the angle of The Runaways story. "It has to be about the people," said Pohlad. "It is about girls, and the ability even at that young age to try to find yourself and try to cut something out of life for yourself as opposed to just being part of a pattern or falling into one trap or another." The Women While it wasn't essential, finding a female director was important to the producing team, given the coming of age nature of the piece. After talking to a number of different prospects, for more than a year and a half, they found Floria Sigismondi. "We certainly knew of Floria and her music video work," offers Pohlad. "We were all very drawn to her, and it's turned out incredibly well. She dove into the material, and certainly had a strong connection to it. She's very confident with a very strong vision, and is somebody with great visual sense and a great eye." To prepare to write the screenplay, Sigismondi conducted numerous interviews with band members and people close to the scene. She also researched band profiles from the era and pulled from Currie's book. With all this material, Sigismondi was able to imagine teenagers wrestling with all that comes with a red-hot spotlight. "To get their voices I did a lot of historical research," said Sigismondi. "And then I drew from my own past and thought of how I would have felt in a similar situation. And it went from there..." At their core, The Runaways were a band about liberation- liberation from stereotypes, liberation from the banality suburban life, and liberation from the corporate rock and disco sounds that dominated radio. Of course the rock scene of the 1970s was certainly not without its lurid tales of excess and illicit drug use and The Runaways did not escape it, which Sigismondi felt made their band's success all the more moving. "It wasn't, you know, like these are the accomplishments," said Sigismondi. "I think the accomplishments come through the pain. Cherie is triumphant to me because she makes a choice. And Joan's triumphant because she makes another choice. But to me they are both heroes because they are both following their heart. But in all that, it was hard to get to that place. So for me it wasn't just about the highs, it was about everything, including the lows." For Sigismondi, there weren't many young women who could play Joan Jett and truly embody her character from the voice, to the personality, to the body language like Kristen. Stewart was at the right age and point in her life to identify with Joan and make the deep connection to her character. "I think Kristen became her," said Sigismondi. "Her essence was so true; it was really an amazing transformation to behold." It's rare for actors to have such immediate access to the person they are portraying. During production, Stewart and Fanning were often seen off to the side on sets, in the trailers, even outside of production working closely with Currie and Jett to hone every detail of the rock and roll personas. To carefully craft her performance to be an accurate reflection of Joan, Stewart spent a great deal of time with Jett throughout production of the film. "Joan's our executive producer; she was there every day spending time with me," said Stewart. "To prepare for a role like this, you can research, read interviews, watch old footage, but to my benefit, there wasn't a whole lot of that available. I was able to talk directly with Joan and think I would have felt like a fraud had I not." As Dakota took the stage for her pivotal "Cherry Bomb" scene, waiting in the wings was her biggest supporter and fan. "To me, Dakota is just one of the greatest actresses ever," said Cherie Currie. "She was so engaging and eager to make sure she was on point with her singing and her performance. She's phenomenal." Being the same age as Cherie in the film helped. Since Dakota felt like Cherie's contemporary this gave her the ability to identify in greater depth with her character. "I was very lucky to have Cherie help me understand the character," said Fanning. "I was able to ask her questions that led to stories about my character and gave me more background, gave me an extension of what was on paper." Kristen and Dakota captured the energy, anger, and youthfulness of these young girls, committing to voice lessons, with Kristen diligently learning how to play the guitar. Michael Shannon recalls her saying, "I don't want to look like an idiot up there. I don't want to fake it. I want to be able to play these songs." Stewart mastered all 12 pieces and had perfected phrasing of the words to mirror Joan's when singing the songs. The film reminds us that The Runaways arrived during an extremely crucial moment in time for women in music and the film eloquently captures the music scene in Los Angeles in the early to mid 70s. "Everyone wants to believe that the extraordinary can happen to them," says Currie. "It doesn't mean you're not gonna have to work hard for it, because, trust me, a lot of people never thought we could do what we did. We went through hell making it easier for girls in music. We were the soldiers out there getting bloody and beat up. But here we are. And we're doing okay." The Music Music Supervisor George Drakoulias recalls a pivotal moment during the rehearsals, when he was playing tapes for Joan Jett. "George, why are you playing my songs back to me, I thought we were supposed to listen to Kristen?" Jett asked. "No it is Kristen singing," said Drakoulias. "Really?" said Jett in disbelief. Drakoulias replied, "Joan, I promise you, it's Kristen singing." Joan laughed and said. "Oh that's pretty cool." It was then when Drakoulias knew Kristen was the only person for the part. "If Kristen could fool Joan's ears, I knew we'd be okay," Drakoulias remembers. Stepping into a recording studio to record Runaways tracks was a totally new experience for Fanning. To sing these iconic songs, Fanning did a great deal of preparation including voice lessons and studying every nuance of Currie's choreography. The actress felt like she was living her dream of being "a rock and roll super star." The Svengali Academy Award-nominated actor Michael Shannon wasn't sure his schedule would allow him to take on the role of Kim Fowley. When he began to research the part, he came across an interview Fowley had done on "The Tomorrow Show with Tom Snyder" back in the 1970s. "He comes out on the screen, he's in this orange suit, his hair's all slicked back and he's got make up on, fingernail polish like a praying mantis," Shannon remembers. "He was just one of the most fascinating people I had ever seen, and you couldn't take your eyes off him." That Tom Snyder clip sold him on the project. Shannon felt like it would be a huge challenge to try and capture Fowley's personality and his way of being. Fowley rants on and on like a foul-mouthed modern beat poet, and as Sigismondi notes, "if that dialogue is not said right, it could just feel long and awkward." When the director heard Shannon deliver his first monologue in rehearsal, she saw it as a revelation. There were times during filming where Shannon was required to deliver crude lines which made him a little uncomfortable as the lines were directed towards the young actresses. "There was one line that had me extremely nervous and of course when I went to deliver the line, I got it all mixed up," said Shannon. "We had some funny screw-ups from time to time." Shannon was thankful that Fanning and Stewart were both such professionals given the dark nature of some of the material." They're both such professionals," said Shannon. "They're both gracious, kind, and supportive." The Look "I made a conscious effort to be very realistic in creating a world in terms of our story arc, said Sigismondi. "At the beginning, the valley is beautiful and sunny California, but it shapes and shifts as the film progresses; the girls go on the road and things get grittier." Together Sigismondi and Oscar-winning production designer Eugenio Caballero, meticulously planed, outlined, rehearsed and lit every scene with the sole purpose of framing tension. Where they could, Sigismondi and Caballero chose to augment the lighting with more practical lamps from the period. The lamps in photographs were used in every single corner of the set to create a feeling of intimacy. "There's a filter that makes it perfect," said Caballero, "that enhances the feelings, with the colour scheme." Caballero used saturated colours to reflect the 70s but as they lost their innocence used more washed, bleached out colours. Caballero designed the scenes according to attitude. "It was a very punk rock attitude," said Caballero. "The cord is not very much tuned in." The team wanted to have that same impact in the design to make it visually astonishing while keeping it raw and real. "They're in a more enclosed environment in California, and they're small, trying to get their footing, trying to create an image, but when they reach Japan, the girls reach a deeper level of darkness through drugs and experimentation," says Sigismondi. In the "Cherry Bomb" scene for example, they put together a set with some lines, copper, silver and gold, where everything leads towards Cherie, so as the scene progresses she evolves into the Cherry Bomb herself." Said Caballero, "She's just having this huge change in that moment, and the design can subtly mirror that change." A Brief History of The Runaways o o o o o o o Summer 1975 - 15-year-old Joan Jett is spending her free time at Rodney Bingenheimer's English Disco in Hollywood getting turned on to glitter rock like David Bowie, Gary Glitter, and T Rex. Around the same time, Sandy West, whose passions included surfing and drums, approaches Kim Fowley, another frequent fixture at Rodney's, about forming an all girl band. Kim brings Joan and Sandy together and agrees to help them find other girls to join the band. By August the band grows to four members with Micki Steele on bass and Lita Ford on lead guitar. Lita had originally auditioned for the bass player, but since the position was already filled, ends up as the band's lead guitarist. With Kim as their manager, the threepiece band decide on the name, The Runaways, and within a few weeks they play their first show at a local party. Fall 1975 - The Runaways play their first public show at the famed Whisky-A-GoGo in Hollywood. November 1975 - Joan and Kim meet twin sisters Cherie and Marie Currie, not yet 16. Cherie auditions for the band with no song to sing. On the spot, Joan and Kim write "Cherry Bomb." Singing the newly written song, Cherie lands the job and becomes the lead singer. Shortly after, Micki Steele leaves the band and is replaced by Peggy Foster. By December, Peggy is replaced with Jackie Fox. February of 1976 - The Runaways sign to Mercury Records and soon enter the studio to record their debut LP, The Runaways. After their first album is released, the band embarks on their first US tour. Highlights included the famous Agora Ballroom in Cleveland and CBGB's in NYC. The band then embarks on their first European tour. They returned to the US and continue to tour. Highlights included the Royal Oak Theatre outside of Detroit with opening acts Cheap Trick and Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers. 1977 - The Runaways second album Queens of Noise is co-produced by Sparks' guitarist Earle Mankey. Upon wrapping recording, they hit the road for their second US tour. Meanwhile, The Runaways are exploding in Japan. "Cherry Bomb" hits #1 in Japan and Australia, and they become the fourth biggest selling act in Japan. The mass hysteria of the arrival of the Runaways in Japan, for their sold out tour, rivals the arrival of the Beatles in America. Jackie quits the band and flies home to the states. Joan picks up the bass for their biggest show to date, The Tokyo Music Festival. They released, Live in Japan, which becomes one of the highest selling imports of the '70s. Winter 1977 - After returning home, the band returns to the studio to work on their third album, Waitin' for the Night. The band's line-up changes again, with Vicki Blue joining to replace Jackie Fox. Joan takes over lead singing duties replacing Cherie Currie, who leaves to pursue a solo career. Waitin' for the Night is the first release with Joan Jett on lead vocals. By the end of the year, the band parts ways with manager, Kim Fowley. 1978 - The Runaways find new management and begin to record their fourth album. They head to the UK to begin work on And now…. The Runaways. Once again, they have to replace their bass player, after Vicki Blue falls ill. Laurie McAllister joins o the band and The Runaways begin their final tour, ending with New Years Eve at the Cow Palace in San Francisco. 1979 - The Runaways decide to disband because of creative differences but not before leaving an indelible mark on rock and roll and paving the way for a number of all-girl groups to follow, including The Go-Gos and The Bangles.

Crew Bios FLORIA SIGISMONDI (DIRECTOR) The multi-disciplinary work of Floria Sigismondi encompasses film, video, photography and installations. Incorporating early film and painterly aesthetics Floria creates a hyper-surrealism based on the figure, using images derived from hallucinatory dream-states. Her videos mix seamlessly with her photography series, and her photographic images translate naturally into mixed- media forms. Floria's images exist in a theatre setting that is both narrative and starkly visual, revealing the poetic and sometimes macabre world. Most recently, a second photography book titled Immune, a book of photographs from publisher Die Gestalten Verlag, was released in 2005. Floria Sigismondi was born in Pescara, Italy to opera singing parents. When she was two years old the family immigrated to Canada, settling in the industrial city of Hamilton, Ontario. Floria has exhibited her photography, film, and sculpture installations in exhibitions internationally in New York, Paris, Toronto, Rome, Los Angeles, Mexico City, London, Italy, Germany, Sweden, and Copenhagen.

JOAN JETT (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) Joan Jett is a pioneer, revered songwriter and musician. Her influence is felt not only in the music world, but also in the fabric of society, penetrating pop culture with her music, her signature style, and her social activism. Joan is not only known for her 6 platinum albums, 17 hit rock tracks, and 9 Billboard "Top 40" singles, but also because her unique style and persona has influenced countless musicians, artists, fashion designers, and authors. Her impact is felt in a wide range of places, from NBC Broadcast's Sunday Night Football, where you can hear Faith Hill sing the theme song against the melody of Joan's "I Hate Myself for Loving You" to American Chopper, the hit TLC show, which uses her seminal recording, "Bad Reputation," for their signature song and video. Her music is heard in video games, nightclubs, sports arenas, TV shows and movies, and has continued to inspire new generations of listeners. Joan's unique style is seen on the runways and in fashion magazines, in make up styles and street styles. Her style has even inspired designs in furniture. Joan's legacy is not just topical; it is of social importance as well. When Joan co-founded The Runaways with drummer Sandy West, she made history and paved the way for all the women who came after her by pioneering a seminal all girl rock and roll band.

KIM FOWLEY Over the course of his decades-long career Kim Fowley has been a true jack-of-all-trades; a singer, songwriter, producer, manager, a disc jockey, published poet and the catalyst behind much of the music to emerge from the Los Angeles area during the 1960s and 1970s. In the mid-1960s, Fowley became immersed in the Los Angeles counterculture, befriending Frank Zappa and his band the Mothers of Invention and later appearing on their Freak Out! LP. A prolific songwriter, he also composed material for the Byrds, the Beach Boys, Soft Machine, Cat Stevens, and Them, and produced the likes of Gene Vincent, Warren Zevon, and Helen Reddy. In 1967 Fowley issued his own solo debut, Love Is Alive and Well, a record that found him closely aligned with the flower power movement. A series of solo records followed, including Born to Be Wild, The Day the Earth Stood Still, and International Heroes. In 1975, after completing the LP Animal God of the Streets, Fowley returned to his Svengali role by assembling the notorious Runaways, a teenage hard rock girl group featuring a young Joan Jett, Lita Ford, and Cherie Currie. After the original group splintered, Fowley launched another Runaways in the 1980s. RODNEY BINGENHEIMER From the Monkees to Van Halen to No Doubt and beyond, Rodney Bingenheimer, aka "Rodney on the ROQ," has been a cherished figure not only in Los Angeles, but the entire music community, for over 2 decades.

A constantly evolving fixture as scenester, journalist, promoter and club owner, Bingenheimer was deemed "Mayor of the Sunset Strip." He began spinning records on Los Angeles' cutting-edge radio station KROQ, and soon became one of the country's most well known DJs. In the 1970s Rodney made his name as a national columnist for "Go" and "Phonograph Record" magazines; and he also operated and co-owned his club, "Rodney Bingenheimer's English Disco", an LA club where Bowie, Iggy Pop, TRex, Suzi Quatro, Led Zeppelin, and the Sweet where all regulars. +FULL CREDITS Filmmakers Script Supervisor Production Sound Mixer Boom Operator Sound Utility Assistant Costume Designer Costume Supervisor Set Costumers Costumers Additional Costumer Cutter/Fitter Additional Cutter/Fitter Head Ager/Dyer Ager Make-Up Department Head Key Make-Up Artist Make-Up Artist Hair Department Head Key Hair Stylist Hair Stylist Additional Hair Stylist Hair Consultant Gaffer Best Boy Electric Company Electrics Rigging Gaffer Rigging Electrics Key Grip Best Boy Grip Dolly Grip Company Grips Casting Associate Casting Assistant Extras Casting LYN NORTON EDWARD TISE ALENKA PAVLIN RENE DEFRANCESCH ROB SADUSKI ANNIE HILL MARIA BRADLEY NANCY CEO MINA AMIRZAI ASIA MUKA BETHANY BERNHARD VINCE PARADA LYNDA ARNOLD SHIRLEY LIPSCOMB SHARON FAUVEL MELISSA F BINDER ROBIN MATHEWS TANYA COOKINGHAM MARTINA KOHL TERRIE VELAZQUEZ-OWEN YESIM "SHIMMY" OSMAN NORMA LEE JULES HOLDREN PAMELA NEAL BRIAN TILDEN CRAIG MOLSBERRY CURTIS FAILOR KHAN GRIFFITHS HAL GROSHON DAN KERNS OSHA MATTEI KEVIN MASSEY KENNY SOLOMON MICHAEL SIKIE ED COX RICHARD M BUTKUS JR LOREN CORL BILL HOBSON BILL DAIMANT JUSTIN BLUM RAYNEE BORCHARDT MATT PERRY TONY WILLARD JEFF ROBBINS HARRY VICTOR SCHULTZ JOHN SIEDENBURG MIKE SPEEDIE MIKE VAN ITEM ALI YEGANE LYNDSEY BALDASARE CHRIS GEHRT DEBE WAISMAN CASTING Costume Department Production Assistant Costume Department Interns Editorial Intern Catering Chef Assistant Chefs Craft Service Craft Service Assistant Physicians Set Medic Additional Set Medic Studio Teacher Sound Playback Video Playback Librahead Techs Technocrane Techs Clearances Script Research Post Production Supervisor Additional Editor Assistant Editors Sound Design & Supersvision Dialogue Editor Editor Sound Effects Editors Sound Designer Post Production Sound Facility Sound Facility Manager Re-Recording Mixers Foley Mixer Foley Artist Foley Editor Foley Recordists Visual Effects by Visual Effects Supervisor Executive Producer Producer/Editor Digital Compositing Supervisor Digital Matte Artist Digital Compositor Rotoscoping Artist Digital Intermediate Colorist 2nd Colorist Colorist Assistant DI Editor DI Producer DI Assistant Producer Titles and Montage by ASHLEY HENDRA ALI CASEY WINDY EUBANKS JASMINE STILES HOLLYWOOD CATERERS TONY GARCIA WALTER RALDA ANNIE JACOBSEN ANA RIVERA IDILIA C RIVERA DR PAULA SCHOEN DR ROBERT KATZ CHRIS CORTEZ JEREMY DAVIS JAN CERWONKA MARK AGOSTINO MICHAEL OTTERANGER DAVID CORNELIUS THOMAS KELLY DIEHL MATTHEW BERNING CLAY PLATNER CLEARED BY ASHLEY MARSHALL/PLUMB RESEARCH TIM PEDEGANA ROBERT BRAKEY CHRISTOPHER ZUBER MATT EVANS JAY NIERENBERG TODD A NIESEN ADR DHYANA CARLTON-TIMS BRENT FINDLEY TIM WALSTON GARY GEGAN JAY W JENNINGS SONIC MAGIC STUDIOS ROBERT DEHN MATTHEW IADAROLA GARY GEGAN ZACH MICHAELIS VICKI O'REILLY VANDEGRIFT JONATHAN PENDERGRASS JASON "FRENCHIE" GAYA COREY GRASSO ENGINE ROOM DANIEL SCHMIT VFX MICHAEL CAPLAN VFX ADAM SIMPSON ERIC HEAVENS DAVID PIEDRA PADRAIC CULHUM MARY DOWD EFILM YVAN LUCAS TOM REISER ELODIE ICHTER CURTIS LINDERSMITH CHRISTIAN PREJZA MIKE DILLON THE PICTURE MILL Creative Supervisor Designer Producer River Road Entertainment President Financial Officer Head of Business Affairs Accounting Executive Production Co-ordinator Business Affairs Co-ordinator Creative Co-ordinator Negative Developing by Dolby Sound Consultant Prints Provided by Lab Timer Camera Provided by Camera Cranes Provided by Grip and Electric Equipment Camera Cranes, Dollies, Remote & Stabilized Camera Systems by Walkies Provided by Security Services Legal Services Music Legal Services Insurance Travel Provided by Production Vehicles Provided by Car Rental Provided by RENTAL Raw Stock Provided by Payroll Services Extras Payroll Services Banking Services Production Financing Accommodations Provided by HOTEL OAKWOOD TOLUCA LAKE WILLIAM LEBEDA BUFFY CUTLER DAVID MIDGEN MITCH HORWITS MICHAEL REINARTS DEBORAH ZIPSER FELICITY DONARSKI JESSICA SMITH ANGIE MILLER TOM SKAPARS FOTO-KEM LABORATORIES TREVOR WARD DELUXE LABORATORIES LEROY WOLF OTTO NEMENZ INTERNATIONAL PANAVISION REMOTE SYSTEMS LEONETTI COMPANY CHAPMAN/LEONARD STUDIO EQUIPMENT INC J&R PRODUCTIONS REEL SECURITY IRWIN M RAPPAPORT PC FREDERICK W BROWN ESQ.
