    It's too short if he's the executive producer that's responsible for the crappy way this movie is being shot. The last movie I worked on WE compensated everybody that was affected by the production, director David arquette even hand delivered a check to a woman who was somehow overlooked in the neighborhood where we were shooting. David also made a point of patronizing the businesses in the commercial spaces we shot in, ordering custom-made airbrushed hats for all the crew from a local graffiti art outlet.

      @Big Dog people in Oakland who didn't get treated the same way, and you. Thanks for your reply. I didn't think anyone cared until your reply. Sucks for you that your caring is based on your jealousy of myself but the fact that I worked on a movie doesn't make most people jealous enough to get angry and post, but the fact that you care is enough for me to overlook your mental problems.
