Frank Aragon and 1211 Entertainment/Pictures are total Thieves and Liars.
Do Not Believe a single words this Piece of Human Waste says. I worked on his production entitled "Down for Life" and I still to this day have yet to be paid. All I get from this guy and his associates is a complete run around. He is an insult to the industry and here is my proof below.

Do Not Trust nor Work with him, he will RIP YOU OFF! You've been warned.

Regarding the postings concerning "Down For Life" and Frank Aragon: Anyone disgruntled about the project should contact Scott William Alvarez at 818-389-0330 or swa@cinemarevival.com. He is the main producer of the project who has been with it since the beginning in 2007. He brought Frank in as a 'below the line' producer to finish the film. The film had been shut down in August 2007 due to non-performance by a financier which put the half-finished production with a number of obligations to cast, crew, and vendors that could not be met.
Frank came in and went above and beyond the call of duty in helping complete the film so that it could be sold/released to pay our prior obligations. Because of his efforts, Frank received a full producer and company credit. Without Frank's contribution to the project, which premiered to rave reviews at the 2009 Toronto International Film Festival and is being touted as a 2010 Oscar contender, the film would never have been able to finish. Because the film is now finished, it can be sold/released in order to be able to repay the obligations to the cast, crew, and vendors.
Keep in mind that all cast and crew are covered by union contracts and settlements with those unions that require the film to pay them out of a sale/release of the film. Again, the entire effort to complete the film has been in order to make good on the outstanding obligations. Scott has been in touch with all cast, crew, and vendors since the outset of the film and is happy to discuss the status. He can be reached at 818-389-0330 or swa@cinemarevival.com

Down for Life Issues with regards to Frank Aragon

Dear Crew wife and former crew on "Por Vida" curently titled "Down for Life".
I 'm a small non-union producer. I was brought on to help complete the project after it went "dark" after 10 days of shooting. Former producers retained the liability to pay all past debt, including crew.
I completely agree that every crew member should be paid. If you worked on the film, I acknowledge your hard work and undoubtedly agree you need to be paid. I believe in all my crews and wish I had the opportunity to have worked with you.
I am not responsible for the financing of any part of the film. I worked with the budget I was given and paid ALL debt that incured after I became involved. However, your issue concerns me and have inquired about it. I have been assured thru Alan Jacobs and Scott Alvarez that all former crew would be getting paid. I acknowledge all your hard work and appreciate your contributions. Please contact me directly if you'd like me to help you resolve this ugly issue; I'll do my best.
