Exposing the questionable business practices of Marie Adler & Associates

Whether you’re a filmmaker, artist, musician, or someone entering into a business contract, hopefully this exposé will alert you in time to some of the pitfalls and perils that may lurk along the way.

S*** that is unfair !!!
Hi Michael, I do hope the day finds you in ‘fine fettle’…
Take some comfort from the thought about the ‘effects’ that she/they have set in motion for themselves…
And as Semjase once said to Billy ” No soup is ever eaten as hot as it is cooked ”
They will get thier self created ‘come-uppence’ eventually, so take some inner ‘malicious joy’ from the thought of that, as such has its “validity” as one of our friends once said…
Well done for the combination of the semi neutral positive presentation of your film, and the use of TRUTH as an agent to slip the annoying ‘Barb’ Thier way… An itch they shurely wont be able to scratch… You did the right thing Bud, so rest easy…
Hi Michael, very eye opening about the dangers of not reading the fine print. We sometimes trust people who may be out to do us harm. I recently had to tell my daughter to expect less from everyone else then she’ll never be disappointed. Then she can be pleasantly surprised when something good happens.
Are there not laws in the US in which they cannot overcharge? Industry standards, ombudsman or the Better Business Bureau? I guess that’s why a class action lawsuit is in order. Interesting that they would send letters to all their clients about you, you may want to add libel to your lawsuit. Good luck to you!
I think the reason why they are warning their other clients about Michael Horn is because they don’t want their scam to be exposed.
Name and shame them! And send a message to all the other film producers that let A&AS promote their films. Get a class action lawsuit going.
Hi Michael, I just saw the film and to be very very frank and honest ” This so-called Marie Adler with the fake blond hair and big bubs is such a fraud that I sincerely hope she loses ALL of he busness prophets etc,etc,etc! This to me is the high hype of busnes as usual for these rotten business corporation that want nothing more than your ill gotten cash so they run off with the money and steal all of your hard earned cash for a prophet! I have an idea,why not try to see if the Sundance film and cable channel would air your two films on the Sundance cable channel and see if they will except these two films to air on the Sundance channel and see what happens there.
Good ideas Terry but I may not be able to do that since the films are still tied up with Adler, even though she breached the contracts all over the place.
Michael can you get her to return your two films and give them back to you?
MH If no one will take your films to show the world get a class action lawsuit and sue like hell so you can get your monies worth! You deserve to be treated like a human being not like a second class citizen. You deserve better than that Adler clown with the big bubs!!! Salome
Hi MH Did you ever get the two films back from Marie Adler? If not try to fight like hell to get her to return your two much needed films otherwise you`ll have to go after her and sue like hell to save your sanity!
Terry, I’m sure Michael will let us know when the situation is resolved. And I would say he’s doing a pretty good job of standing up to the BEAST of greed and corruption. Cool your jets Trekkie.
Melissa and don`t forget to keep phasers by your side too!:-))) Keep on trekin:_))) Hahah:-))) Salome TeTrry:-)))
Well done Michael for breaking the silence and not falling for the second part of the scam: The exit deal.
How many others just accept that to get their films back in return for their silence and because they wrongly assume Adler won’t come after the fees. Bet she does; every last penny.
When I searched Marie Adler, your video, ‘What Is Marie Adler Trying to Hide?’ from August is the first thing I saw under Google’s ‘Videos’ section in Google, so, this must be gaining traction.
