A NOTE ABOUT MUSIC

All the music is original and composed specifically for this film. The agreement with the composer was a buyout for the use of his work in this film. For a few moments the older characters try to sing a few lines from a song. The song is fully credited in the film, and rights have been obtained to use the material in this way for the film.
