Unauthorized selling of My Fake American Accent’s poster

So, yes we do google our movie title often, and it’s highly recomendable that you do this because this month we found out that a movie internet site was selling our posters without due permission from us for up to 60 dollars. It’s based in the US. So what I immediately did was send the site an email demanding that as the producers of the film, we instruct them to take it off their site and quit selling.

This comes at the heels of the movie’s 1st yr. anniv and its theatrical release, which have been occasions for celebration for us. We have always worked after the Cinemalaya festival last year to protect this movie’s integrity. A not so simple task that we do simply, in between our day jobs. And so I waited for a response to my email from that company that accepts payments thru Paypal. I’m so de-stressed today after finding out it is no longer available there.

So to those newbie filmmakers take note, you don’t have to suffer stress unnecessarily if something like this happens. Yes, you might think being civil and friendly with everyone will get you places, but once you have created something of value, an art, and people have the gall to grab it from you and take you out of the equation, do something about it.
