John Pierson?
Who in the hell is John Pierson and why should I care? His credits show that he has done NOTHING.
shareEr...well, if you watch the movie, that question is answered in the first fifteen minutes.
The short answer is that he was an instrumental figure in the indie film explosion of the late '80s and early '90s.

"It was night. I could tell because it was getting dark."
I think it's been proven, movies & music influence a culture. I guess we can see what has happened in the US. Why inflict it on others?
I thought an interesting line was by Wyatt about five kids would be a lot at his house in the US but not Fiji. I haven't found that to be true in the many places we've lived in the US in 63 years.
I also was relieved when Janet realized and acknowledged that a different lifestyle, one of less consumerism and fewer material possessions is not necessarily 'living in poverty'.
