investors beware

We got the following email yesterday:

I was wondering if you knew of any place that investors in this movie are congregating. I myself did not invest, but have a few friends that did get involved and have a decent amount of money invested. I am trying to find out any information I can relay onto them regarding this movie. I haven’t been able to find release dates, find out what is going on with the reality show that is supposed to be used to market the movie, etc. As you can understand, I am worried for my friends that they may lose everything they have invested.

We got the following email from someone else this morning. Keep spreading the word about Big Sky Motion Pictures!

Dear Unpaid Extras,
I feel morally obligated to let you know I just received a phone call from Blue Sky asking if I wanted to invest in the Film "Spring Break 83". I will not. I wish you the best of luck in your quest for payment for your services.

Regards,
[name witheld]

Like the Wiki entry, we're not sure how long this will be up until it, too, is censored, but here is a screenshot of the IMDb board urging people to come to this site. Post says:

Spread the word.

The film was shut down in Louisiana by SAG in November, but now Big Sky Motion Pictures is attempting to resume production in L.A. To date, 99% of the extras still haven't been paid.

Copy and paste and repost, as posts like these have been mysteriously disappearing.

Not sure how long this minor success will last, but as of this moment the Wikipedia page for Spring Break '83 says:

The Screen Actors Guild shut down production in New Orleans, Louisiana on November 16, 2007 due to non-payment of actors. As of February 14, 2008, the majority of the extras have still not been paid. The film is scheduled to finish filming in Los Angeles, California in 2008.
