: To date, Vulgar crew members have not been paid. KS was touting
an $135,000 budget on Stern,
Actually, KS mentioned an $80,000 budget.
: yet we know that the film 'cost' around $30-35,000.
Sure - before post-production. With post, it was over $80,000.
: Bryan Johnson is quoted on the VulgarTheMovie.com website as
saying "I still can't believe people work that hard for free." There was
no one working for free since we all had deferred deals that, to date,
have yet to be fulfilled even though ViewAskew and Shongo have sold
the film for a lump sum plus a percentage of gate receipts.
Was that the deal? I forgot that you brokered it, anonymous crew
member.
: Perhaps someone who actually reads this board, would like to give
me a valid explanation of why crew members have gone unpaid, and
when we should expect payment that we're entitled to under the
deferred crew contracts signed by Shongo Filmworks.
Sir or madam, I assure you, everything's being handled on the up-
and-up. For more on the matter, I defer to Monica Hampton - the
film's producer.
Monica?
