Look
man ... I could care less about your reviews and opinions of me - really.
And I am not saying this to get under your skin, but to be honest - you're
a nobody ... your pathetic ... your insane (slander!
- CAP) and a liar (slander! - CAP)...
you were thrown off a set for (slanderous rumor
that Guzzo is spreading that cannot be proven and could get him sued.
- CAP). You claim it is a lie - if it is, doesn';t it make
it worse that she thought you were so CREEPY that she lied to get you
thrown off set?!?! (This did not happen, either-
I was never thrown of the set of The Quiet Place film and was not even
aware that these people were spreading lies about me until months later
when Paul threw it in my face after losing a debate with me. Additionally,
the actress in question has talked with me many times since the film wrapped;
she is annoyed that she was brought into their lies when none of this
ever happened. Guzzo's use of the term "creepy" are his words,
and not those of the actress; if this is how it was, then she would have
never called me or communicated with me afterwards. - CAP)....
I didn't want your help with audio because you are CREEPY, INSANE, and
PSYCHO and a LIAR (his opinion, as there is
no proof. If anything, this is proof that there is discrimination in the
self-proclaimed Tampa indie film community. Also, he formed this opinion
BEFORE he knew anything about me and BEFORE the infamous film set fiasco?
I was wondering about the source of those rumors.... - CAP)
- I don't believe you have any equipment (actually,
I really do. I have lots of professional equipment, and it will be used
in my events, such as the upcoming Tampa Film Showcase monthly film festival.
I have never lied to, misled, or misrepresented myself or my capabilities
to Paul Guzzo or anyone else, and I have proof. They have nothing but
slander. - CAP). You were snubbed at the TFN because you're
irrelevant (that's what you think. You picked
a fight with the wrong professional. Maybe some of the others roll over,
take it, or give up when you trash them, but I fight back. I fight for
my rights. - CAP).
I am hated by A LOT more important people than you (LOL...
right. - CAP) ... trust me on that (I
don't, and many other don't, as well. - CAP). I have a casting
agent in LA for big films who bad mouths for no reaons to people who don't
know me ... I've been yelled at by MAyor Greco, the Chief of Police, County
Commissioners, and so on .... it happens when you work your ass to achieve
something in life, to make life better for the community (does
anyone really fall for this B.S.? Oh, wait, there are a few suckers who
DID, and I am not one of them, nor am I any fool! -CAP). You
ruffle feathers ... You do nothing like this - youre lonely (What?!?!
Where did this come from? I have real friends, Guzzo, which isn't something
that you can claim. Oh, and my friends are the important professionals
who you want to work with, too. -CAP) and only build websites
to look important (Too funny. My web sites are
professional business marketing tools. It's funny that many of my design
ideas happened to show up on some other sites soon after I introduced
myself to you. - CAP). So your opinion means nothing (You're
wrong, Guzzo. My opinion carries a lot of weight with the professionals
who you want to work with. You're an idiot, Guzzo. You really, really
misjudge me. Not only is it your loss, but get ready for a big surprise.
- CAP).
BUT, I am sick and fucking tired (nice
professional use of language, Mr. "Good Guy". Oh, that's right,
I'm supposed to be the bad guy! - CAP) of you taking shots
at the TFR filmmakers by calling their films crap. There is no need for
that. There is no need to slam young filmmakers just to feel important.
Just because you are inadequate about being a no one and mad that I snubbed
you is no reason to continue to slam filmmakers trying to create something
and working so hard to complete their films. The TFR is not for the Sundance
films - it is an outlet for EVERYONE (Agreed,
and that's not a good thing! - CAP).
SO keep writing about me - but DO NOT EVER write anything nasty about
a young TFR filmmaker again! STOP! Some of us are trying to build something
in this community - something positive (I write
what needs to be said. None of my reviews or articles have any malicious
intent, and if they come off as attacks this is only because you are insecure
about negative press. I am professional enough to tell it how it is. and
if you don't like my qualified opinions, fix what is wrong! - CAP).
When Nolan slams a film, he does so with kiddy gloves to help the filmmaker
- you did it on your website to be petty and vindictive (No,
I did not. It needed to be stated. Also, Nolan is a part of your clique,
he pats you on the back while censoring your critics, and what he writes
is questionable at best - CAP).
I think you should write an apology - not to me (I figure you hate me
more now that I called you what you are - a nothing) (No,
I don't hate you, Paul. This sort of behavior is what I have come to expect
from you. Additionally, I consider the source when it comes to any opinion,
and in my opinion you have no real credibility, so your opinion does not
concern me in the least bit.- CAP) but to the filmmakers for
saying TFR shows crappy films - that is a slam on them (No
it isn't. It reflects on you because you have the poor judgment to show
them. -CAP)!
Do not post this on your site (try to stop me-
the world will see just how you really are. - CAP) on Nolans
(Nolan has a biased web site with an audience
of 12 people, and it is not worth the effort to post on it- CAP)
- I kept it off to not embarass you and because I am tired of all of this
(No you didn't. you kept it off so you could
try to maintain that squeaky clean good guy image that you need for credibility
- CAP). Never mention my name again, never come to an event
I am at again ... get some "professional help" (dude, you're
insane - you write about talking to models at TFR - I am at every TFR
you idiot and have never seen you talk to anyone but us! - you have NO
friends, let alone model friends) (another delusion
of Paul Guzzo. The truth? I've always told the truth. Many, many filmmakers
at the TFR have also met my model and actor friends, but Paul always ignored
all of us. I have all of the models and the actors that these people need
for their film attempts, and now, for some reason, a lot of them are not
interested in working with them. I wonder why.... - CAP) ...
and apologize to the filmmakers for being so "unprofessional."
Keep the parts about the audio problems and so on up ... that's not a
lie ... and keep your personal atacks on me up .... they destroy your
credibility (I am in no way concerned about
you or your small indie film clique destroying my credibility. You have
no capability to make good on your threats. In fact, your unprofessional
behavior and rumor-spreading will prove to be the undoing of your credibility
and your career! - CAP) (if not for them, I would have agreed
with the review and thought it was good). ... but apologize to the filmmakers
for slamming them to bother me (NO!
I will not apoligize because I am not wrong. - CAP).
