Lydie´s Paintings 2


Lydie´s Paintings
You can see photos of some of Denier´s paintings on her facebook site. I like especially the one with the frog, it´s really cute. Some of those paintings she had left with me when we shot A Bouquet for a Kill.
How do you explain this, Lydie?
As I already mentioned, I do not want the paintings. They belong to Lydie. She did create the paintings and I always wanted the paintings to be returned to her.

It was Lydie´s decision to NOT pick them up or let them pick up for almost three years now. We had to rise the amount for storing the paintings now, maybe she will let pick them up now. The longer she waits the more it will cost. I had to ask a lawyer to take care of this problem and Lydie created the problem. And maybe she stops now to try to come up with new fairy tales.

What did she achieve? She did not finish our movie. So far I lost much money because of Lydie´s behavior. She did dissapoint crew and actors we worked with us when she did not finish her job as a director. Instead of dealing honest with the problems she herself had created she created more problems involving more and more lawyers and involving Santa Monica Court telling them I am a stalker and not her producer.
She did break US law in doing so. She did lie to US authorities. Trying to outsmart me she gets herself more and more in trouble.

Why does she do all this nonsense? It´s so easy to just tell the truth:
We shot a movie together. I am not a stalker. I am the producer of A BOUQUET FOR A KILL - the producer who paid the movie, Lydie´s flights, hotel stay...
It´s the truth. What is so difficult she cannot admit the truth? What´s her problem with the truth? What´s her problem with just being honest?

I am not Lydie´s enemy, I never was and I still do not consider her as an enemy. She told Santa Monica court, I love her and that I want to be together with her (in the romantic sense). This is not true. She told Santa Monica Court I threatened to kill her and that I hate her. This is also not true. I consider Lydie a wonderful actress but I will fight her as long as I live as long as she will not return my video tapes.

I do not hate Lydie, I fight her because it is my job as a producer to finish my movie and I need the tapes she took with her to edit the movie. The crew and actors who worked with Lydie and me can expect me to fight for our movie.
I never did involve Lydie´s paintings in this fight. I wrote her right in may 2007 she can pick up her paintings, the paintings are hers and I do not consider them part of our fight. So why didn´t she just call me and let some of her German "friends" pick up the paintings?

And why does she not return my tapes? I offered her we both can edit our own versions. I will edit my producer´s cut and I will give her a HDD with all scenes so she can edit a direcor´s cut, the way she wants to do it - and then we release both versions. Lydie and Roswitha told the press how great this movie is. So what is her problem? Does she really still think she can push me out and make believe people A Bouquet for a Kill is NOT Unhappy End! but a Lydie Denier movie? I think almost everyone from here to China knows now that A Bouquet for a Kill is a remake of Du sollst nicht Ehebrechen - Unhappy End!
So why not stop this stupid fight and do what I always suggested: She gives me the footage of may shooting and I give her a HDD with the scenes from february and april shooting and we just do what we promised when we signed the contracts and when Lydie came to Berlin to shoot with me A Bouquet for a Kill ?

Sincerely Yours,

Michael Huck
