I gave Carey Lemoine and Business Strategies over $7500 after being put in contact with him through a producer to get financing for my independent film almost 2 years ago. I am an established filmmaker who has accomplished quite a bit. I put faith in Lemoine and his London, Ontario based company and he assured me in full that he could get financing for my film with minimal problems and that his company was the epitome at what they did.in fact, he said that he and his company have financed films before.
Boy, was I duped into this villainous and horrible situation. I have not seen a dime and have literally heard every excuse (and some new hypocritical ones) in the book of why I haven't gotten the promised financing from Lemoine and Business Strategies. I was even giving a phony and sophomoric-looking term sheet that was as legitimate at a three dollar bill. Lemoine can never be reached at his office and someone there is always making excuses for why he isn't available. It is always said that he is frequently in Toronto closing deals that never ever happen. Total B.S. That's what Business Strategies stands for completely. They are SOOO lucky they are not based in the United States. NEVER, EVER give money to ANYONE who is not based in the U.S. Who tells you that they can get you financing for any small business endeavor.
People who steal money from filmmakers saying they can finance their films are very devious, double-dealing, underhanded, treacherous, unfair, and corrupt. I have asked for my money back and got nothing, even when others involved have asked on my behalf. People like Lemoine and Business Strategies know filmmakers want to get their respective projects made so they capitalize on them like rabid and satanic wolves. There are too many phony movie so-called movie financers like this in the world stealing at every turn and getting away with it. I've had enough. Where are the good ones that actually finance movies and keep their word? Everyone at Business Strategies should be put in jail and the office on Talbot Street should be immediately condemned. Hell is waiting for them all.
