JAY LEVINE v. ANESTHESIA HOLDINGS, LLC et al
Upon information and belief, beginning in or about 2013, Defendants Anesthesia Holdings, Anesthesia Productions, and Chris Scott, began working on the development of an independent movie titled ‘Anesthesia’ — written and directed by Tim Blake Nelson. The motion picture was projected to be a relatively low-cost film, with an estimated budget of approximately $1,900,000.00.
In or during January or February 2013, Defendants Anesthesia Productions, Anesthesia Holdings, Chris Scott, Grand Schema, and Domicile NYC fell into financial difficulties which prevented the Defendants from timely completing production of ‘Anesthesia’.
Defendants sought a loan for $130,000.00 to cover the remaining costs and expenses for completing the production of the movie. Plaintiff provided that loan, but defendants have failed to repay the loan. Defendants had provided Plaintiff with a check for the full amount, but the check was rejected due to insufficient funds.
