“Everyone was just excited about doing a horror movie in Syracuse,” key grip Mac Cushing told syracuse.com | The Post-Standard.
But .... most of the crew
hadn’t been paid after the first week of production, Cushing said. Halfway through the second week, a producer told him paychecks would be issued biweekly even though crew members expected to be paid weekly. When they threatened a walkout, producers promised to make it right by the following Monday or Tuesday, Cushing said.
Producer Gerry Pass blamed the threat on “rumors from union reps” about proof of deposit; “The Hermit” is a non-union film, he said.
On Tuesday, Aug. 30,
the crew still hadn’t been paid, according to Cushing, so they walked off the set. Filming stopped.
Ferrigno and others went home.https://www.syracuse.com/entertainment/2022/09/syracuse-horror-movie-suspends-production-after-actors-injury-crew-walkout.htmlKarma is a bitch or the movie production was in charge of a Getbigger ?
