En zo, why would you EDIT OUT a child ~ well, this is Hollywood and there's a thing called "The Stuntman's Association. It's better than a union. If a stuntman appears in a stunt EVER then you have to pay him, even if the copyright has run out ~ they hire people to WATCH TV and GO TO MOVIES and RENT VIDEOS just to look for "stunt men".

So what you have is a child in a film, and the child grows up and joins the Stuntman's Association.

Obviously this was a "stunt" and not a dramatic part of the movie, so BINGO, every time that film is sold, or shown, the stuntman (the kid now grown up and beneficiary of the rules) gets paid.

I think it was something like $500 per showing.

So let's say you do an action film and the stuntmen do all the wet work ~ how do you advertise your movie with part of the action? Well, you reshoot it with people who are NOT stuntmen but instead actors, and make sure their actor's union dues are paid up lest even they sign up for the Stuntman's Association.

Bingo. This guy just got world wide attention to his films and film festival. Marketing genius.

I remember reading a study that suggests that people who are lying can sometimes be detected by looking closely at mannerisms. The lying person's face is dead pan, while he or she will be fidgeting. This guy awkwardly scratches his head when he begins the story. He is lying.
