Fabricio Brandi.

A warning to anyone who comes across an individual called Fabricio Brandi, a “filmmaker”, eager to make a “low budget Netflix production”.

Eager but not very capable it seems, at least on the producing front. Because today Fabricio has been hot-footing it around social media seeking to recruit a Runner/Driver (with vehicle) for a rate which is way less than the legal minimum.

Not only that but this Runner is expected to work for eye watering shifts which start at 6 o’clock in the morning and run for 18 hours a day for 10 days without a break. And yes, you did read that right.

That obviously makes Fabricio somewhat of a danger to any freelancer out there looking for work. Where he got the idea that that this is a safe way to operate, let alone a fair one is a mystery. Maybe his alma maters, The Central Film School or Birkbeck, University of London have a view.

Either way, he is clearly one to watch out for. And not in a good way.
