In addition, Aronson co-executive produced "The Spanish Prisoner," written for the screen and directed by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright and critically acclaimed filmmaker David Mamet. Critics universally praised the film when it was released in 1998. She also co-executive produced "Into My Heart," which was written and directed by two newcomers, Sean Smith and Anthony Stark; and Coky Giedroyc's "Women Talking Dirty," starring Helena Bonham Carter, which marked Aronson's first European co-production with Elton John's Rocket Pictures.

Her television work includes "Saturday Night Live" and "The Robert Klein Comedy Hour," both for NBC. In the world of theatre, Aronson served as associate producer of "Death Defying Acts," an off-Broadway comedy consisting of three one-act plays written by Elaine May, Woody Allen and David Mamet.

HELEN ROBIN (Co-Producer) began her film career as a production assistant on Woody Allen's "Stardust Memories."

She co-produced "Alice," "Shadows and Fog," "Husbands and Wives," "Manhattan Murder Mystery," "Bullets Over Broadway," "Mighty Aphrodite" and "Everyone Says I Love You." Following the last, she left Allen's production company to take some time off and do freelance film work. During that period, she worked as an associate producer on the highly rated television miniseries "The Temptations" for Hallmark Entertainment and NBC. After a three-year hiatus, she returned to work with Woody Allen on his most recent comedy, "Small Time Crooks," which she co-produced.

He is currently a partner in Morra, Brezner, Steinberg & Tenenbaum Entertainment, Inc. (MBST), where his client roster includes Woody Allen, Billy Crystal, Robin Williams and Alain Boubil (the creator of "Les Miserables" and "Miss Saigon").

For his work on Zhang Yimou's critically acclaimed "Raise the Red Lantern," he was honored with awards for Best Cinematography by Spain's Valladolid Film Festival, the American Film Critics Association, the New York Film Critics Circle and the Los Angeles Film Critics Association. His unique style and cinematic approach is also evident in Tian Zhuangzhuang's "The Horse Thief," "Li Lianying: The Imperial Eunuch," Huang Jianxin's "Samsara," and "The Emperor and the Assassin."

ALISA LEPSELTER (Editor) marks her third collaboration with filmmaker Woody Allen, having previously edited his comedy "Small Time Crooks" and his critically acclaimed feature "Sweet and Lowdown." She began her editing career as an intern on Jonathan Demme's film "Something Wild."

She cut her first feature when she edited "Walking and Talking" for director Nicole Holofcener. JULIET TAYLOR (Casting Director) graduated from Smith College in 1967, and joined the staff of David Merrick, remaining there until the spring of 1968. At that time, she went to work as a secretary to Marion Dougherty who was opening a motion picture casting office in New York. In 1973, when Marion Dougherty left casting to produce films, Taylor ran Marion Dougherty Associates until 1977, when she became Director of East Coast Casting for Paramount Pictures. She left that position in 1978 to cast motion pictures independently. Since that time, Taylor has worked with some of the leading directors of our time, including Mike Nichols, Steven Spielberg, Woody Allen, Louis Malle, Martin Scorsese, Alan Parker, Roland Joffe, John Schlesinger, Stephen Frears, Nora Ephron, Neil Jordan and Martin Brest. Her collaboration with Woody Allen dates back to her work on "Love and Death" in 1975, and more recently includes "Celebrity," "Everyone Says I Love You," "Sweet and Lowdown" and "Small Time Crooks."
