NICK CARTER: Following Up The KILL SPEED Smear Campaign

You can't miss it if you're here at the American Film Market. Mass emails, sign-waving picketers, and rolling sign trucks claiming that action picture Kill Speed is stolen goods and any purchase or sale of the film a violation of copyright. When we wrote about this November 3rd we commented on how it appeared to be nothing but a flimsily masked smear campaign.

And now we know who's behind it: Hello, Dave Riggs - twice convicted fraud artist, fired as the CEO of Afterburner Films on August 8th, 2007 for financial mismanagement and embezzlement of Afterburner funds with the firing notice clearly stating that Riggs is not entitled to any claim on any Afterburner Films property. Property which, incidentally, includes Kill Speed. Someone didn't take the firing well, I think.
