Shine-Box Productions, LLC Frank Fata, Adam Piacente and RJ Harper Shine-Box Indie Production company rips off screenwriter New York, New York

Actor Frank Fata, Producer RJ Harper and actor Adam Piacente asked me to write six screenplays and two sets of two 30 minute episodes of a TV series called Typecast.

Once I asked for a contract ensuring that I would recieve the pay that they had promised and residuals in case the show was picked up by a network, they sent me a contract cutting me out of the entire project. This is after about 5 months of rewriting their numerous illiterate attempts at writing a film script.

The idea behind the series Typecast was to show that Italians are not all crooks and gangsters. However; this company shows that they are indeed crooks and stealing my work without paying for it.

The series (my first two episodes) were recently submitted to Harvey Weinstein by RJ Harper at Shine-Box Productions. Weinstein loved them. BUT, again, Shine-Box touted the material as their own and forgot to tell them I did the majority of the actual work.

The theme was initially theirs but the work I did got the material to completion and marketable to industry standards. I kept copies of all emails and their original jumbled version as proof when I have to sue them for Theft of Services and breach of verbal contract.
