Dear Chris,

What do I have to do to get my film back?

I'm willing to take you up on your challenge that "there's nothing I can do about it". I thought about it quickly, and already came up with a bunch of things that I COULD do, if I chose to.

I'm not saying that these are things that I'm going to do (or even do-able), I'm just saying that I think you're wrong about the assumption that there's nothing that I can at least try to do about it.

• publish a website
• offer a reward
• write a short screenplay
• distribute fliers at local film festivals
• pass out free balloons
• get a billboard near a film festival
• have an airplane pull a banner near a film festival
• make a short film
• make a documentary film
• write your biography
• get a full-page newspaper ad in the Arizona Republic
•

• hire investigator
• hire bounty hunter
• hire collection agency
• go to court
• collect my collateral
• let it go
