Upon our driver being unpaid for 3 weeks, we investigated the validity of their finances and found that they had no money to support their desire for a bus. Chris had the guts to request a nicer, newer bus 7 days in since money was no problem. We sent out a 2007 Prevost Slide Out coach with a shower for their convenience.
Upon arriving in Atlanta after 24 days on the road, our driver was left high and dry at the Philips Arena in Atlanta, GA. They were finally home and didn't need our services any longer; however, they were willing to allow the bus to remain at the arena while our driver slept on the bus as it ran out of fuel.
We made a decision to pull the bus and try to collect our monies for Bus, Driver and fuel. To date, Chris Prudhome and Free Dem Films owes Pro Coach Leasing $25000.00 and has made no attempt to pay. Chris is an unprofessional, dishonest business person. I warn all business owners...... DO NOT ENTER INTO BUSINESS WITH CHRIS PRUDHOME AND/OR BILL BENSON OF FREE DEM FILMS.

I have spoken directly to Chris and expressed my apologies for the unfortunate event of his employers sacrificing him at all costs. To this date, Bill Benson has ignored all communications and they brag about how they will go on. Well, indeed they have went on, but I was never paid. After much research and looking into the events of this tour, Chris Prudhome should in no way be held liable for this debt.
If you are researching Chris in an effort to consider whether or not to do business with him, I can recommend him and assure you that he is a dependable, responsible business man whom deserves a chance at earning your business.

Kendra Hicks, Bill Benson, FreeDem Films trying to sidestep responsibility of unpaid invoice $25,000.00

Mr. Chris Prudhome was an employee of their company they had hired to seek out corporate sponsorship for their tour. Mr. Prudhome has since been released, fired, or some form of removal. Ms. Hicks confirmed this fact with me personally on the phone. Unfortunately, as an owner of a company, you do not have the right to avoid responsibilities signed for by former employees when you release them as an individual.
Bus was signed for by Mr. Prudhome on December 18, 2008 as Marketing Director for FreeDem Films. All pricing and charges were approved before contracts were issued. Mr. Prudhome emailed me and asked for credit terms for the coach as it was being paid for by a corporate sponsor I wish to leave unnamed at this time. Since the potential sponsorship company has confirmed that they were not committed to paying this invoice, I will not disrespect them by naming them.
When bus was in Houston, TX, Mr Benson had conversations with Mr. Prudhome and executives from Universal stating that the sponsorship had not come through, but that he would not let anyone go unpaid for services rendered.
Ms. Hicks stated that they did not approve bus lease; however, they did release their means of current transportation as soon as our $600,000 2007 Prevost XLII pulled up in front of them. I have a signed contract dated 12/18/2008 and we picked them up in Dallas, TX on 12/19/2008. We drove 1000 miles one way to get to where they were and then took them straight to LA.
I would like to make the following statement as it relates to Lil Wayne and Young Money. They are in no way responsible for the actions of FreeDem Films. Nor are they responsible for paying this invoice as previously stated. I retract these statements as a result of recent findings. I apologize to the Members/Owners of Young Money for their inconvenience of being involved by association.
I will allow FreeDem Films to make no more false statements concerning their usage and/or obligation to my company. If invoice remains unpaid, I will have no other option but to file another report that will make this report read like a children's novel. Ms. Hicks has repeatedly asked me to remove or retract the statement as they are trying to land a multi million dollar distribution deal. If this were true, pay me $25k and go get your million. Their operation is ran out of their home and there is no legal team on staff. Perception is reality in most cases, but I assure you this here is not the case. Options have been extended to FreeDem Films to pay the invoice and Bill Benson has said he will not pay.
Really unfortunate situation; however, may the record be straight. I, michael Gibson, in no way intend to remove anything at any time until my company is restored wholly and completely. Your move FreeDem FIlms! I trust you pay your debt or make arrangements with Pro Coach Leasing to make payments.
