Film Marketing Services: Peter Greene & Jon Gursha, Peter Greene ,Jon Gursha Film Marketing Services: Peter Greene & Jon Gursha Breach of Contract, Stole $, & Lied about Distribution Marina del Rey California
These men charge an upfront fee to rep your film. I had them modify our contract to state that they needed to cc me in on all communication that they had with distributors. Til this day, I have never seen one email that I was cc'd in on, although they supposedly reached out to numerous distributors. Therefore, they are in breach of contract on that alone. I confronted them several times on this, but they never addressed it.
Secondly, they claimed that my film got distribution on a television network. I delievered all the assets. As I followed up with Peter repeatedly and he said the network was not telling them when my film would show. I later contacted the network myself, as I needed to know where my film WAS dsitributed for my future sales. The associate had no record of my film EVER being in their system!
I questioned Peter and demaded my money back, as not only were they in breach of contract, but they lied about distribution with the network. Again, they never addressed the breach of contract instead insist that the tv network rep was confused and he would write me the next day to clear things up. If this is all true, they should have CC'd me in on communication with the rep in a professional manner so I could see the upfront honest communication. I followed up with the network rep and thanked him for his honesty about my film never making it there. Interestingly, I NEVER got that email from the network stating they had my film the whole time.
Finally, my entertainment lawyer happened to be sending an email for another client about a rep never paying the filmmaker his profits, while I was in their office. I saw that it was Peter Greene & Jon Gursha who did this to the other filmmmaker! So overall, I'm not the first person these guys have scammed. They need to stop taking advantage of the indie filmmaker with their prodcuers repping and film festivals. Really sad they do such a thing!
