She pressured me to bring in dozens of highly skilled friends to also work for free at the promise of eventual paid work. Eventually we worked a supposedly paying gig for which none of us have seen a dime.

Moreover, our names have not been listed in the credits on a single project we have worked on for them, many of which were fairly prestigious and were exhibited in high profile places. Beth and her partner only listed themselves under “directed by” and “produced by”. On one project she also decided to credit my friend the D.P. as the “First A.C.” because supposedly a young person calling himself the Director of Photography is “not realistic”.

Also, I lent them a light for a shoot and it was seriously damaged. Not only did she refuse to pay the repairs for the light but she threatened a fallacious lawsuit against me if I tried to pursue the matter legally.

Do not work for this woman. She will use you and verbally ABUSE you until you can stand working for her no longer, then call you unprofessional and refuse to provide any references. More importantly she will not pay or credit you.
