I don't know what form you need the separations in, but I suspect the
printing house (film producer) can probably deal with the photoshop image
itself..

Otherwise, once you have the mode as CMYK you can open the channels
palette and by turning off the others, view and output only the channel(s)
you want.  

As far as picking the pantone colors, if you use the eyedropper tool to
pick up a color, and then click on the color to go to the selector you can
select the pantone palette you want, and photoshop will highlight the
right color for you..

Hope this helps.. and if I have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about,
let me know that, too.. :)
