First the simple version is, I am a filmmaker & Grady Justice has robbed me of my film, and also has blocked me from access to distributing the film. I have been working to get financing for my film.
Grady stated several packages I should purchase to get a pitch deck. Telling me he guarantees the film will get financed and his wife is head of distribution I shouldn’t worry. I purchased all the packages and everything he told me to do. Even paying out of pocket for some expenses that wasn’t attached to Buffalo 8 because I trusted him.
After two months of not hearing from him. I confronted him in October and he said he had an interested investor. When I asked who it was he said he couldn’t tell me. Which I was okay with. A week later I contacted him and he wouldn’t answer my calls and e-mails. I finally called him from my brothers phone and he picked up.
That’s when he became belligerent, saying my film is not sellable, and I need to trim down my budget. I asked about the investor and he completely forgot that he told me about it. He said what investor. I told him I was going to call Matt and report him. His response was if I contacted Matt, his wife would make sure my film would never see the light of day.
I’ve been silent and not knowing what to do. I tried reaching out to him since then and he’s ignored my calls and emails. They took my money and I don’t think I even want to make films anymore because of what he did.
When I talk to other filmmakers that use Buffalo 8 they say the same thing. They say Grady Justice is a pathological liar and will take you for all you got. They are thieves and sell false dreams. Grady Justice will use you as his own piggie bank. A thief and a user. Avoid this company if you’re a filmmaker. I’d sue them but they have more money than god. This is my only avenue.

The nerve and gall. You do not own Buffalo 8, Matt does. They are not YOUR lawyers, you keep forgetting that. Buffalo 8 is not your personal piggy bank for you to use filmmakers.
Have your lawyers call. I am sure Matt will be happy with you when he finds out what you have been up to.
