USA Today meets the stars of Babies

Susan Wloszczyna of USA Today got to profile four upcoming movie stars: Ponijao, Bayarjargal, Mari, and Hattie––the underage stars of upcoming film Babies. The article looks at the lives, famies and locations of the four babies with commentary from both the director and Focus CEO James Schamus. In talking about Ponijao, who is one of the new members of the Himba tribe in Namibia, Schamus quipped: "In the village, a breast is lunch for anyone who gets there first."

USA Today has several other pieces on the subject of Babies. “Parents, movie fans are cooing over 'Babies' documentary” and “The world is 'Babies' filmmaker's playpen”
