 There were actually three different versions of the beginning and  end sequences of the film. The first, which was in the original  screenplay took place in a grade school, where Harley Dawkins played  by Director Christopher Carter (qv) was teaching. One of the kids  was to get up and narrate the rest of the story. The second was  actually shot, and took place in a high school with Director  Jason Lupish (qv) playing the role of the teacher, and Carter  playing a student teacher who calls on the class to read stories  that they have written. At which point director Adam Jack (qv)  gets up and narrates the story. Since this scene was cut, and Carter  and Jack kept their roles in the movie that now takes place in a  palm readers basement, Lupish was cut out of the final film.  Therefore he is the only director not to make an appearance in the  film.
