David Murdico / SuperCool Creative

Hey Folks, just a friendly PSA here. I would be very cautious in accepting any jobs crew or acting with David Murdico from SuperCool Creative. Worked a job over a month ago, and he's still dodging me and other crew members as well. Just a friendly word to the wise!


November 10, 2018
David Murdico with "Supercool Creative" is looking for crew members for an upcoming shoot. He has consistently stiffed numerous crew members and actors over the years. He did not pay my crew from the last time I worked with him. Not sure if this is allowed here, but wanted to give a heads up to anyone that gets caught in his web. Do not work with this guy

Gabriel Hart aka VIDEOGOD

BEWARE of a Director who goes by the name VIDEOGOD aka Gabriel Hart. NO payment, NO lunch for 12hr day, NO Bathrooms provided at locations. Has blatantly ignored all my emails, phone calls, and texts in regards to paying me for work done on a music video for Wiz Khalifa. Been 7 months. Do not fall into the trap of working for a big name artists for this Director as he has a reputation for not paying crew.

SOMAR Productions

To make it short : don't work with SOMAR Film & Productions, based in L.A., Miami, and more

Don't trust Somar Film & Productions. After a very last minute booking, I have filmed for them, giving them a great deal with a nice "first time customer discount", and even went the extra mile to deliver the footage to them through a lengthy online process (big files = long uploads) that ate up more of my time. Four months and a lot of emails, plus an official registered letter, after, I still haven't been paid for my work. They made excuses, promises, sent me a cheque with the wrong amount that they asked me not to cash, yet still nothing. Then I learned that they've been taken to the court of small claims, and lost, for similar problems, and that other freelancers are in the same conflictual situation with them, all over the US and Canada. They also don't have any local offices like they pretend, only fake addresses. They hire local people, then don't pay them. We also suspect that the list of clients they show off on their website is just as fake as all the five star reviews that show up in various places. A little cross examination shows that these reviews are posted by fake accounts that all review the same businesses positively.

J.A. Frost

Hey guys, just a heads up about J.A. Frost. He hired me to design a poster for a film of his, which I did and we went back and forth on corrections for a few days. When it was practically completed (and watermarked) he stopped contacting me. 30 days of calls, texts, emails and messages later he still hasn’t paid for the work or responded to me. Don’t want anyone else to waste their time.
