The National Youth Film Academy finally bites the dust - but not before one final Rip Off.
Rob Earnshaw takes the money and runs.
Studio Cypherpunk. Hashim Shubbar and Ida Thomasdotter.
Where’s the harm? The name of the production in the hands of Hashim AlShubbar (Producer) and Ida Thomasdotter (Director/Writer). Well it seems that the harm comes to those who have been unfortunate enough to become involved in making this particular piece of work via their company Cypherpunk Studio.
Scott Altman. Defunct Films.
A company which doesn’t feel the need to pay people for the work they are doing.
National Youth Film Academy Awards Ceremony
Once again, the NYFA has found a way to make money but fail to deliver.
Andrew Smith. Marathon Services.
Freelancers beware this company - it doesn’t pay its bills.
Puppy Love, Producer Vipul Sharma.
His film is apparently a “comedy romance”, however unpaid freelancers who worked on it are failing to see the funny side.
Nikky Akinwande (aka Nicole Rodger). Production World.
Caution is advised for anyone thinking of signing up to any ProductionWorld events arranged by Nikky Akinwande. Is this a marketing exercise to promote her company and its wares than a legitimate way of recruiting for a job?
Fabricio Brandi.
A warning to anyone who comes across an individual called Fabricio Brandi, a “filmmaker”, eager to make a “low budget Netflix production”.
Peter Wilson NMUK.
It seems that the spell at Her/His Majesty’s Pleasure has done little to persuade Vladimir Peter Wilson to join the ranks of honest upstanding citizens. A look at his latest activities.
Callum Johnston (aka Common Wisdom). Stone Empire Films.
Big red warning signs over this individual.
John Pavlakos fails to pay his cast and crew…again.
Producer John Pavlakos has struck again. The man with the worst reputation for non payment of his workers in the business has made another film.
Worthily Films – avoid!
Despite numerous requests from many people, neither of the owners of this company, Steve Dodsworth and Chelsea Leigh Macleod, were able to say why this work would not be paid at least the legal minimum. * This post has now been UPDATED
