View Full Version : Are people also getting rejected because the producers had no money?

I posted a link to Done Deal . In the case, a fraudulent producer hired people, had them work on a production, and apparently never had money to pay them.

While obviously a lot of screenwriters get rejected legitimately because of poor concepts or poor writing, I also think a lot of people maybe getting rejected because certain so called producers who asked for them to send in the scripts never really had the resources to make a film or to get distribution.

A lot of people want to make themselves sound big. What better way than to claim to be a producer?

As a friend of mine in LA said, LA isn't a user friendly city. It's full of flakes and fakers.

A person who has to reject a lot of money because he or she doesn't have any money, btw, isn't going to come out and tell you that.

I'll also add that I knew a scamster who supposedly bought indie films, but his whole operation was really an attempt to fleece investors.

You're just realizing this? (just kidding)

It's a shame such things happen, that is why you need to check out anyone who wants to buy, represent, cover, your work.

The more you know, the less you'll be surprised.

That's not to say "Shite" doesn't happen if your careful, but you can minimise the instances and hopefully the damage.
