Shirley MacLaine film People Not Places production goes awry as crew says they're owed $245K: 'This whole thing is really a disaster'
The outlet described the situation surrounding the indie film as 'a case study in the desperate state of the business.'
The film's director Brad Furman, the five crew members told the outlet, was frequently tardy, absent at critical meetings, rude to people and slowed down on script cuts that would have saved budget. The storyline of the film, according to a logline on iMDb, follows a 'sprightly woman in her twilight years [who] strikes up an unlikely friendship with a local homeless man' played by by actor Stephen Dorff. While Furman said he would pare down the script, an initial revision was 10 pages shorter, a paltry amount which crew members said was offset by a potentially-expensive addition scene involving a car crash and explosion.
