We were sooooo moded!

Hello, Big Sky Motion Pictures and makers of "Spring Break '83".

We are the unpaid extras from "Spring Break '83". Over three months have passed since we worked on your "film". We are tired of the excuses. We just want to be paid.

Our contracts stated we would be paid 8-12 business days after we turned in our vouchers. When that time passed, we made the appropriate calls.

We were then told we would be paid 30 days after we turned in our voucher
s. When that time passed, again, we made the calls.

We were then told it would be 6- 8 weeks, then 8-12 weeks. SAG shut down your production, and your accountant Felicia assured us we would be paid by the first of the year. When that time passed, she later told us we would be paid by Feb. 1 so that we could file our 2007 taxes appropriately.

That time has now also passed.


Yesterday a number of us received phone calls asking us to resign our release forms. Your receptionist, Christian, told us we would be paid within three weeks.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me six times? We start a rebellion.

Our posts on IMDb have been censored. Our emails and letters to the production company have been largely ignored. We will not take it anymore.

At no point have we been offered an adequate explanation. At no point has anyone been honest with us about why we haven't been paid and when we will be paid.

We are the unpaid extras from "Spring Break '83".
We are tired of the excuses.
We just want to be paid.


We are taking action. Watch for it.
