I was introduced to Mr. Lane when he was cast in a small role in one of my films. From the beginning, Mr. Lane informed me that he wished to "invest" in my movie. Because I had not yet secured the funding necessary to complete post-production on the project, I entertained Mr. Lane's offer. Shortly after finishing principal photography, I made a call to him to set up a meeting. He asked me to meet him at his home (that he claimed he owned.) The home was an upscale mini-mansion in
Scottsdale, Arizona.in the driveway were two luxury cars. Mr. Lane claimed that he had millions of dollars and that not only did he want to provide finishing funds, but he also wanted to fund my next movie entirely. I thought my dream had come true. I have been an independent filmmaker for ten years and I thought that, at long last, I was forging a relationship that was going to make my days of struggling to raise money a thing of the past.
