I doubt they can find a single asset of this company to seize if they are successful in a lawsuit.
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.

Id love to know if the tax payers are on the hook for 30% of any invoices that were never paid. It's screwed up either way but at least you could get them with tax fraud if they did.

They are fly by nights mostly.
Even though you might see the production on some familiar media outlet it is rare the known identity is the actual production company getting the welfare and screwing vendors in Louisiana.
