Cant complain.. They paid on time. My only concern is their accounting practices. I recieved a nice advance but I also signed a backend deal that was net instead of gross.. Fully knowing that I more then likely will never beable to collect without a fight.... Well the movie had been out for a about three years.... Accorinding to them Im still in the red... Im just gonna wait a while until and let them do damage, then audit them in another year..... Lesson.. If possible..step your game up on your next film..Bigger budget, production value and a name or two..U wont wont have to deal with these knuckleheads..... Which reminds me...My lastest film Studio:Hop Task Force vol 2 was made in response to the review I recieved on this website for the original "Hip Hop Task Force"... A pretty repectable review but the comment about making another about a rapper that got shot in the face, was very sarcastic..and just for the reviewer...I did just that... Id love to recieve the reviews on that one...Oh and its not on Maverick.. Lightyear Waener Home Video picked it up... I dealt with Maverick for teh release of my first feature. Cant complain..

I haven't had the chance to speak to Joe and Rick yet, but I have a few different PM sources who are going to be speaking to them for me at some point in the near future. I'll definitely get them on for radio shows if they're willing. Don’t worry young man.

As you may know, Dean is a very nice guy and a good sport about his Nu Image flicks. I think SHARK ZONE, while awfully darn silly, is his most entertaining picture (Dean autographed that DVD for me too; thanks, man!). He's also fun in his brief role opposite Chuck Norris in THE CUTTER, in which Dean got to work with one of his screen idols.

Have your master QC'd by a reputable post house and have them sign off on it. Have all documents reviewed by your lawyer and use industry standard contracts which you can purchase or find online. Don't ever give any distributor a chance to tell you "no" when it comes to your checks. Once you sign the contract you have "sold" your movie to the distributor for the license period. Make sure everything's in writing, and that there is nothing missing. Make sure the distributor signs a document checking off the items in a delivery package and approving them. Get signatures. Otherwise you're stupid. This also proves my point which I have tried to make to filmmakers around the world:
