let's explore "fact versus fiction" one step at a time...
a. Did you actually hold & "get paid well" being the director of Photogrpahy on a $1 million feature called "Blue Note"/"Blue Notes"/"Blue Night"? ((FYI the names changed 3 times on your own postings by YOU and no one else)) - If so, what was the name of a producer, director, actor, or production company
associated with the fim?
b. Did you actuallyhave a job as Unit Production Manager on a "$1 million feature" called Amanda Jean, Movie Star, If so, what was the name of a producer, director, actor, or production company associated with the film?
c. Did you optioned screenplays to producers/production companies? If so, what was the name of a producer, director, actor, or production company associated with the sale/option?
d. Did you act as Assistant Director on a film known as One Night in September? If so, what was the name of a producer, director, actor, or production company associated with the film?
e. Did you ask Amanda Hunter for $3,000 funding for her movie, then write that already had $2,500 after she fired you? If so where that money went, if in fact it did exist + as a bonus, where the detailed budget is, how these dollar amounts were actually arrived at?
f. How do you go from publicly acknowleding & apologizing to Holly & Louie to "it was their own fault" in less than 6 weeks?
g. TRUE or FALSE - "I've been in talks for the last two weeks with a cable channel that was going to show the film", as written also to Amanda and who was this mysterious "Cable Channel"?
h. Did Rob Hogan actually study entertainment law, as stated to more than one person?
i. TO AMANDA HUNTER, MAY 2005
>>>"I have spent the last five months working on pre-production and promoting the hell out of this film to every media outlet that would take my call. In this one act you are seriously >>> damaging my relationship with companies that I have spent years trying to form a partnership with."
Where is the proof? Define "promotion" and show some form of evidence, please. Did you really do any promotion at all? Who did you call? Which "media outlets"? I'm a prick & it doesn't take me years to develop a relationship with any media outlet, and I barely qualify as a professional filmmaker, and I am certainly an amature at marketing. I can say from practical experience that if there is no press mention anywhere, then there was no attempt. It isn't that hard to get promotion. If you you really made any phone calls, there'd be proof.
It shouldn't be hard to verify anything that's true. I will as already stated, publicly apologize to you & kiss your fat as in front of a crowded room if you come through & verify every single one of these. Like any resume in the real world, you have to give more than a name of a movie. Let's say you wer trying to get a job in the film industry, people would want to check
the references. So let's just check your references. If it's all true & none of it is a lie, then why not answer? Why not show proof?
And also, Mr. Courageous, I have agreed to answer honestly & truthfully to any questions you have for me as to what I have or have not said or done. Yes, I have made fun of you, in regards to making claims like "I worked for many years doing commercial video work and freelance independent films".
Show some evidence it's true. I have told people to look at the sheer number of projects started & not finished by you, and use that as a basis for judging whether or not they want to work with you. People draw their own conclusions. Quit blaming the "old guard" as if there is some mythic drama
surrounding your inability to produce a quality movie and everyone knowing that. Your warped perceptions of me, as you put it "false messiah" or "figurehead of Columbus film", are views you have, and I didn't make them. I'm no higher or better than anyone else, even you.
Rob, you're living in a really bizarre imaginairy world with an evil nemesis and unicorns in your head if you truly believe that anyone is trying to stop your filmmaking. We all want to lunacy of lies & exagerattions & nonsense to stop. Talking to the writers for local publications like The Other Paper and
Columbus Alive, and even the Dispatch, they all know who you are & they do NOT take the local filmmakers serious because they research the bullshit you say, see that it's not true, then think we ALL do it, when SOME of us are actually making real movies & not having to exaggerate to do it.
