KEVIN BACON - CHILD DIRECTOR SUES FINANCIER OVER BACON MOVIE

A 10-year-old boy who directed a short film starring KEVIN BACON is suing the woman who helped to finance the movie. DOMINIC SCOTT KAY alleges in a lawsuit filed on his behalf yesterday (25JAN07) that CONROY KANTER unfairly demanded creative control and distribution rights to SAVING ANGELO after she invested $11,000 (GBP5,600) into the short film. Kanter alleges she gave Kay the money as a charitable contribution and insists the lawsuit stems from a disagreement with Kay's mother over who should benefit from the film. Kay, a child actor who was the voice of WILBUR the pig in CHARLOTTE'S WEB, is demanding his financier has no right to creative control, distribution or promotion of the short film.
