This summary outlines a lawsuit involving a group of plaintiffs who invested more than $4 million to finance three films, Poolman, The Dating Game, and Canary Black. In exchange for their investment, the plaintiffs were promised various forms of compensation, including commissions, equity in the films, intellectual property rights, executive producer credits, entertainment trade publicity, and acting roles. However, the defendants, Elliott, Moore, and Brickell & Broadbridge International, failed to fulfill their promises and engaged in fraudulent and deceptive conduct. This included misleading other players in the film industry about the financing and sending a cease and desist letter to one of the plaintiffs. The lawsuit seeks damages for breach of contract, fraud, and fraud in the inducement, and is being brought in the California Superior Court, County of Los Angeles.
