It is produced by Bill and Laurie Bolthouse (who are champions for health care and justice all over the world), along with Jim Schmidt and Dave Ross. This foray into filmmaking is the team’s way of shining a light on the issue of child sex trafficking. Set to release early 2012, the film stars Dermot Mulroney and Mira Sorvino.

Modern Family
Anyone who watches Modern Family, the ABC/20th Century Fox mocumentary about one big (straight, gay, multi-cultural, traditional) family will instantly relate to something. Whether it’s tragic or complicated or funny, you’ll find yourself saying “That happened to me!” Its logical, since creators Steven Levitan and Christopher Lloyd have really tapped into the modern family. In fact, a great deal of the story grows out of sometimes off-hand conversation between everyone who works on the team.
