From the NEW YORK TIMES, June 5, 1996

TV Notes section on page C19:

Rosie Perez, a certifiable New Yorker, had the idea: Ask New Yorkers to tell 
their wildest subway stories, then film them.  The result is an HBO 
anthology movie wrapping together 11 short films, produced by Ms. Perez, 
Jonathan Demme and Edward Saxon for HBO NYC productions ...

... They range from poignant (a man trying to stop a pregnant woman from 
jumping in front of a train) to comic (the performance artist and mime Bill 
Irwin enacting a series of subway misadventures) ...

... The writers of "Subway Stories," due in early 1997, include the 
playwrights John Guare, Albert Innaurato, and Craig Lucas; among the 
directors are Mr. Demme, Bob Balaban and Abel Ferrara ...
