we are getting paid

the payroll company has settled, though Joseph and JR stil refuse to reply to any and all communications, and the crew should be paid their full owed wages by the new year.

this being said, due to the actions of the above mentioned individuals, many crew and all of the vendors, including the hard working prison staff in Carson City Nevada, are still fighting for out of pocket costs, wages and rental amounts past due.

it is unfortunate this could not have all been averted through even a modicum of professional behavior from either Joseph "Tcinque" Samspon or Isiah "JR" Rider.

best of luck to the cast and crew of Black August. hope to see you all soon on another project.
