After promissing myself and two other individuals from the Atlanta area pay for working on the "Broken Leg" project, Bill Benston and wife Kenya Hicks defaulted on their wod and left us high and dry, Literally! We left Atlanta with Bill to venture to Miami to begin the first stage of filming for "Broken Leg". We were in Miami for almost 4 weeks, constantly moving and helping the production in all different capacities.

We filmed, drove, solicited product placement and anyting else logistically to help the project move along, all the while being told we would be paid. To make a long story short, we were used and were dropped back off in Atlanta pennyless, A WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS, as Bill continued on the tour. We haven't heard from him since.

This lying unproffessional idiot even had the nerve to tell us that we should secure product placement, as this will help us all get paid. That wasn't our functions from the start, and shouldn't have been a determining factor for getting paid. What a dismal Christmas it was for the 3 of us and our families!!! Thanks Bill... Thanks Kenya...

#1 UPDATE Employee

Misleading Defamatory Statements made to try to discredit a good company/ It is sad people do this

AUTHOR: The Truth - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Sunday, April 05, 2009

These sites pose as a place where individuals can warn others about potential problems that may have and have occurred while dealing with a company. It is unfortunate that some people use these sites to admittedly gain leverage over other individuals who have defaulted on contracts which the named company has no agreement with, nor solicited their services. Once a non-producing employee who was dismissed from their duties, due to that exact lack of production and has negative feelings against individual within the company gets wind of such postings they out of spite or resentment feel the need to post unfounded accusations in order to destroy the reputation of a good company. Those people must be ignored. Kenya Hicks and Bill Benston has paid all of their employees. It was a great bonus however that everyone that did their job and every service solicited by the accused company (Free Dem Films) have been compensated. It is great that Free Dem Films does have record of all payments and all contracts which are all in good standing. Free Dem Film's work speaks for itself. We have a list of satisfied clients and loyal hard working employees who represent us. We value that more than random rants and tantrums on a website where anybody can post anything, even if they never actually used a company or not. We aim to make that satisfied client and loyal employee list longer as we progress.
