"The Living Dead" posting from the grave.

Hi guys,
Just so you know what sort of people you would be dealing with if you were thinking about "volunteering" your services as either cast or crew for Scream Productions upcoming project "The Living Dead". I have received a message in my private inbox from an unnamed member the team behind Scream Productions which goes as follows.

Please do Not waste my time by email a forum about a project you are not intrested (sp.) in getting involved with as your opion (sp.) does not count.
Thank you

The original message has since been deleted but it basically revolved around Scream Productions requesting cast & crew to work on “The Living Dead” with absolutely no commitment from Scream Productions of anything in return...not even expenses, food on location, a couch to sleep on…nothing. Deferred payment contracts…we can only dream.
Message to Scream Productions...
Au contraire mon ami. My opinion does very much count as the whole point of an open forum is to voice ones opinions openly for all to see and to warn the more vulnerable members of our profession to stay away from people who's only intention is to further their own career ambitions.
Although I have in the past 12 months given my services in exchange for "expenses only" on 12 LB/Student productions and have 4 more lined up in the next month, I found your complete lack of professional respect for your fellow filmmakers offensive and that is why I have a) no intention of getting involved with The Living Dead and b) made my opinions public.
Please do Not waste our time posting adverts for cast or crew unless you have completed the basics first, i.e. secured adequate funding to cover at least our expenses. We after all would be volunteers not investors.
