The lies continue

an excerpt from the book I will post up soon:

Another part of the invitation to be trained as an actress was to attend the great film festival that Snaky and Slimy would put on. One of the top best film festivals in the world.

The great film festival that they organized was the greatest flop of all film festivals.

First of all none of the town folk would come as they had experienced his tirades, or drunkenness or just general rudeness.

A man of etiquette he is not.

Here we were, his motley team, begging people to please come to the film festival. Even though it was free no one would come.

Then there were the times when the films would not work and people would sit politely for an hour with no announcement of what was up.

On one such occasion they finally substituted a film of a producer who had flown in to be there. The quality of the screen was of such poor standard that the producer had to leave. When I suggested he apologize to her he accused me of having such weird ideas. At that point a friend of mine who was thinking of investing in them saw his true colors and fortunately did not invest.

I know as an investor I will never see a penny of my investment.

Of course if they are so moral and open as they claim to be, who knows, pigs might fly.

In the meantime they are folding one company, into another, into another into another. The shares on the stock market have been suspended. You get my point. 

A man who believes he is G-d and can stuff everyone over.

The saddest part of this failed film festival is that the best film, by an Italian director who was present, was voted by the remaining jurors, was over ridden by him so that his name could be linked to well known stars and directors. I question if he even saw the last film as he made a point of never being in the theatre when films were screened. That was the role of the students to add 8 places to the empty theatre. How was he to know that his own festival was flopping in front of him? Is that what allows him the arrogance to notify the world of the wonderful film festival he put on? Maybe that is why he continues to release press releases that are blatant lies.

You may be wondering here about fired jurors. Well to start one walked out, three were fired which now left him alone. He then chose one very fragile individual to be a juror and the final one he chose walked out on him.

Now can this be called a fair and honest film festival?

No one present.

A whole jury expelled

Final vote by one person.

Of the fired jurors two became good friends of mine. One was a very well known award-winning producer from LA who paid her own way there. The other came from Italy and she too was enticed by their cause of non-violence. Their cause is great.

Every single person who was there from the fired jurors to the core group experienced directly his rage and his continuation of lies and exploitation.  Most of them worked tirelessly for him with no pay. In my language that is called slave labor.  People gave up paid working positions to work with them with the promise of at least food being paid for. There was no allowance for anyone. Many have gone into debt thanks to these two.

Their cause is a noble one and had the creators sorted out their own violence that they are harboring inside, as well as their own stories of abuse, things might have worked out differently. 

In order to better the world I do believe film is a very powerful medium. However if the creators of the films are so violent and maniacal what harm are they doing to the cast and crew.

Yes it is said that in the film world the casting couch scenario is true, actors /actresses working for free. It is enough of this behavior.

I am extremely happy to meet producers who have the courage to fire directors. May there be more of them in this field.

I write this that the world should know about the behind scenes of one out of control director and his great sidekick.

The cause of non-violence can only be expressed when one has confronted the dog that has bitten you. Until one faces that dog one will treat the world from the viewpoint of the dog still attached to the leg and lack common human politeness and awareness.

They are destroying young peoples lives.
