Dear Melissa,
Since the resolution of the complaint due to health reasons, I have attempted to write several letters to you,
aiming to be understanding and considerate. I have contemplated the possibility that external factors might
Syndrome"
have influenced your actions, and the tenn "Stockholm has often crossed my mind.
However, I have been unable to send any conciliatory messages because of the misrepresentation of my
Emmy award-winning camera work and technical direction on your resume. This false claim is solely your
responsibility. I sent a detailed complaint regarding this matter, but neither you nor Mr. Siano responded.
Enough time has passed for you to retum the honorable mention, which is not the property of the Academy.
I paid for the honorable mention and its professional framing, and these awards, which reflect 35 years of
dedication, should not be exploited for your personal gain.
I request that you return the honorable mention and the frame, and provide a signed statement confirming
that you will not mention any work history with Riggin Design or its products in any context. Your
LinkedIn profile states that you have been a production assistant at CBS since February 2019. Your resume
should align with this information. You have not acquired the necessary skills to claim credit as a
professional technician specializing in telescopic cranes and remote heads.
Without the requested statement and return of the material, I feel obligated to infonn the motion picture
industry's professional community, through relevant Facebook groups, about the inaccuracies in your
resume. As long as my statements are supported by credible documentation, they are not standerous.
Melissa, I also extend a final offer for you to explain your side of the story and clear your name. Since the
complaint is closed and cannot be reopened, you can speak freely without fear of consequences. If you were
indeed a victim of Stockholm Syndrome, it's your name, reputation, and self-worth at stake. You previously
prostitute,"
mentioned that "no one wants a 28-year-old and I expressed my desire to help you move beyond
your past. I cannot determine whether your film work was genuine or a cover for other activities. My
objective is to retrieve my materials and leave the pain of the past behind. If you have something to say that
could alter my understanding of the events and give you peace of mind, I am willing to listen.
As a gesture of empathy, I acknowledge the traumatic experiences you shared about your childhood. While
I can't fully comprehend the impact of those memories, they don't grant you permission to bypass the
necessary process of learning and growth. Claiming unearned accolades and assuming control of a movie to
showcase nonexistent skills does not constitute growth.
I wonder if you would have acted differently, given the chance. My willingness to talk to you doesn't mean
open,"
"my door is but rather, I haven't locked it. People make mistakes, and downward spirals can only be
halted by one's own actions. The future of LOAW under the current management is uncertain, as the
differences in photography, acting, writing, and editing before and after October 28 are striking.
