Dear Joe, I can't believe that you would try to slander us this way. I'm actually shaking right now, I'm so angry. Unlike you i will not resort to any negative comments. First, In order for this project to be considered a scam, you would have had to be cheated out of something or never have seen a finished product. We didn't take any money from you and you saw the finished product, as you stated, so i don't believe we qualify as a scam. And as far as your copy of the movie, none of the actors have a copy since we have only just recently finalized the project. I believe that we treated you exceptionally well, at no time where you ever in danger. How dare you play the race card. I always treated you with the most respect, and when i brought in someone to speak to you, it was the actual person you where supposed to be portraying. That's called research!!!! I also told you that if you ever had a problem or if you felt uncomfortable you could come to me and i would solve the problem. Secondly you were not the only white person on the set. Most of the crew was White as well as at least four other actors. I have so many white friends that I'm not afraid to use the word white, cause I'm more than positive that they will stand up for me and verify what I'm saying. I would however ask you, how many minority friends do you have? You talked about quitting, but it wasn't because you felt weird around us, or at least that's not what you said to me. You were afraid that you didn't have the talent necessary for the part, as you stated yourself and I told you that i believed in you and that i would do whatever was needed to help you reach the level that was necessary to play the part. I think that anyone that sees the movie will agree that i worked a miracle. I will not talk any more about your acting since i said i would stay away from negative comments. I STILL HAVE THE RAW FOOTAGE!! You say that transportation was not provided by us, and then you say that it was because of the PA's on the set. Which was it, the PA's or us? I told you that all your expenses would be refunded to you, all you had to do was bring a receipt. I believe that is the norm in this field. Then you say that the meals where not provided on a regular basis. I have receipts and pics to show other wise. Plus I always made sure that you where especially looked after. We might not have been the best Production company at that time, but we tried very hard considering the budget and inexperience. As an actor myself i know what it is to work on a low budget set and believe me you had it good. What actor, director, or any one on this site can say that they worked on a low budget movie that had a trailer for a whole month, and it was on set by the third day. We also have receipts and pictures of this. I made sure that my actors where taken cared of. I INVITE YOU TO FIND CAST MEMBERS THAT WILL SUPPORT YOUR STATEMENTS and Rebuttal mine. I know that you have made much of this up, and i advise you to be careful. Deformation of character is a case that we are willing to bring against you. I will not stand by and allow you attack the credibility of my company. So you wish to talk about the pick up scenes. I really wish you would stick to facts. You were never ill and you know that. You missed it because you had a family event. I told you if you could not make it, we would not be able to do again cause it wasn't in the budget. You told me that you hadn't seen your family in a long time and would rather go to the event with your family. I would love to see something stating that you contracted any kind of illness during your period with us. You did say that you went to the doctor, so you should have proof of this. Did we or did we not contact you prior to the films screening? We have phone records and emails that prove we did. I don't know what you where thinking writing this post. Maybe you thought we wouldn't see it, or maybe you just wanted some attention. You could have just picked up the phone. I have always been straight up with you. When we felt like you couldn't handle the Voice Over we told you. We told You we didn't think you could do the job well. I'm sorry, but that just how we felt and I think that's where all of this is coming from. I'm guessing there must not be much work out there if you have time to make up such stories. You say that we didn't pay or we mistreated the makeup guy. Please call him, I'm sure he will tell you that our disagreement was based purely on the quality of work, and was not a rase issue, plus he was not the only person fired from our project. We also went through two sound guys, which happened to be BLACK and also a personal friend of mine who is Latino was fired and he is someone i went to school with. so whatever decisions we made where purely professional and in the best interest of the project, not based on race. Please let this be the last time you try to attack us or you will hear from our lawyer. Sincerely Javier Molina Pure Productions LLC
