Ahh lawsuits---someone will soon learn how little these companies have invested in Louisiana. I doubt they can find a single asset of this company to seize if they are successful in a lawsuit.

What a wonderful industry to subsidize with cash from all the citizens.

Eyeworks USA filmed "Opposite Worlds" in Chalmette earlier this year. They skipped town owing me over $2500 for damage they did while renting my mobile kitchen. I have contacted the Film Commission and they have forwarded the documentation to Eyeworks asking them to pay me. When discussing a potential lawsuit I was told by the commission that production companies are set up to have little to no assets to seize from a judgement.

Ironically, the same company is producing "Catch a Contractor" that is about people being screwed over by a contractor yet they have no qualms screwing me over.
