[NEohioPAL] Casting For Local Projects

[Robert Putka]

There is absolutely no need 
to try and disgrace someone like that.  You also did something similar to me via 
facebook, simply because I asked what made the filmmakers that worked on Made In Cleveland as "acclaimed" as you stated in your trailer, when, 
let's be honest here, that's a bold claim to make when your prior 
credits entitle you to a handful of 48 hour film fest awards.  You 
tracked me down, name-dropped(like you did again above), and then essentially
threatened to muddy my name amongst "more than 140 local actors and a dozen major investors."

This
 is tad ridiculous.  Good for you guys that you've got something 
going on, but why the need to publicly try and embarrass a guy by name 
like
 that?

I would first like to thank Mr. Grieco for his professional correspondence. He certainly represents the NeohioPal community well, doesn't he?

I would also like to publicly respond to Mr. Grieco and say that we agree that actors should be paid for their work, when the project has a budget. As the producer of Made in Cleveland, our proudest accomplishment was not bringing a film to Cleveland starring two A-Listers such as Busy Philipps and Gillian Jacobs. But rather that we hired and paid more than 100 local actors SCALE, something almost no other local productions can claim. It is our goal, when producing films in Cleveland, to hire AND PAY as many local actors and crew members as possible. The project Mr. Grieco so professionally responded to was not for a film, but rather a local NEWS promo for which there is no budget. Normally a news promo with no budget would use people who worked at the station or their family members, but we wanted to reach out to the local acting community to offer some of these roles to you, much to the dismay of Mr. Grieco who clearly wishes us to stop offering these
 opportunities to you.
