      He has got himself in a pickle.
      I don't have a connection that can solve his problem.
      He needs to find investors, probably crowd sourced, who will ransom his film from the bankrupt distributor and find another way to release it.  Talk to the Film Forum or some such.  
      There are lawyers who would probably take on the job on spec or even pro bono. 
      Love triangles look really messy from the outside.
      I have no idea how to do the balancing. 
      The three body problem is not analytic.

      This is just a fight over who will pay for the change.
      If one of them offers an engine change the other will be on the phone about ten minutes later.  In the meantime the money pump is running just fine.  The work is in hand but does not have a rush on it yet.
      Aviation Week and Space Technology will tell you the situation in excruciating detail.  Find it at the Public Library.

      I am not that kind of designer.  
      Those are called decorators.
      I threw out the National Geographic years ago.
      I tend to give my attention to individual objects and let the space be what it needs to be.

      Three body situations are notoriously unstable and unpredictable.
      This film maker just needs to get his work seen.

      I notice that the link can be there but the pay wall is not defeated.
      As far as I know, a link is a source citation.  A subscription will allow one to check things cited.

      Some works never leave the studio and the world is better for it.
      Let us see what she shows or otherwise publishes.
      I would call this a work in progress.
      Sooner is better.  As soon as you can is best.
      I would really like to check things before I irreversibly commit.
      I do not require it.

      Wife of Dominique Strauss-Kahn Stands by Her Man
      “Portrait d'Anne Sinclair dans le NY Times aujourd'hui - Wife of Dominique Strauss-Kahn Stands by Her Man - http://nyti.ms/ifI2eB” 

      http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/s/dominique_strausskahn/index.html?scp=1-spot&sq=Dominique%20Strauss-Kahn&st=cse

      The Times has not been tracking the scandal.

      http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-17518628


      "Mr Strauss-Kahn faces preliminary charges of procuring prostitutes and involvement in an "organised gang", one of his lawyers said.
      The 62-year-old former IMF head, who could face up to 20 years in prison if tried and convicted, was released on 100,000 euros ($135,000) bail.
      Prosecutors say Mr Strauss-Kahn cannot contact defendants, plaintiffs, witnesses or the media in relation to the case.
      The BBC's Christian Fraser in Paris says the allegations relate to his supposed involvement in a vice ring that hired prostitutes for hotel orgies, mainly in Lille, but also in Paris and Washington.
      The case has become known in France as the "Carlton affair", named after a hotel where several orgies are said to have been held.
      The magistrates are examining allegations that business associates of Mr Strauss-Kahn were involved in the prostitution ring, and misusing corporate funds.
      Eight people have already been placed under formal investigation, including a senior police officer.
      One of Mr Strauss-Kahn's lawyers, Richard Malka, said: "He firmly declares that he is not guilty of these acts and never had the least inkling that the women he met could have been prostitutes."
      Consorting with prostitutes is not against the law in France, and Mr Strauss-Kahn has acknowledged that he was at some of the parties with the women.
      Last month he was held in police custody for 48 hours at the start of his formal questioning.
      Our correspondent says Monday's hearing came as a surprise, and it is not yet clear why Mr Strauss-Kahn appeared before his scheduled appointment later in the week.
      However, Mr Strauss-Kahn is also facing the court case in New York.
      He will not appear in person there.
      His lawyers, and those of the maid, Nafissatou Diallo, will debate whether Mr Strauss-Kahn's position in the IMF afforded him diplomatic immunity.
      The criminal charges against Mr Strauss-Kahn were earlier dropped, when doubts emerged over the reliability of Ms Diallo's testimony.
      Mr Strauss-Kahn had faced a third case - an accusation by 32-year-old author Tristane Banon of attempted rape.
      Although magistrates concluded there was prima facie evidence of sexual assault, the statute of limitations precluded a prosecution and the case was dropped.
