San Diego, CA (PRWEB) March 15, 2012
Bank of America never ever questioned how independent filmmaker De Veau Dunn could be making mortgage payments from six feet beneath. They just kept sending letters, for months, saying they needed his death certificate in order to modify his house loan. So Dunn, along with San Diego based production firm Endi Entertainment, produced a video about the whole story.

Throughout the loan modification procedure Bank of America had repeatedly requested and received the exact same documents from Dunn. Then the bank claimed to want homeowner Dunn to send official documents proving he was deceased, in order to complete his loan modification.

At very first I gave Bank of America the benefit of the doubt, thinking they had created a mistake,” stated Dunn. ” I immediately contacted the bank to inform them that, not only was I still alive, but I was the only borrower on my house loan, and I was nevertheless seeking a modification.

Dunn mentioned he spent several weeks creating phone calls, writing letters and emailing the bank’s client relations manager. Right after a lot more than a month of back and forth with Bank of America and nevertheless getting nowhere, Dunn received a new letter requesting not only his death certificate, but a statement of death benefits to go along with it.

Dunn explained , “It was at that point that I’d had sufficient and I he decided to make a documentary about the expertise. I did not know what else to do, the expertise has been unsettling, on a lot of levels, said Dunn. What should have been a straightforward economic transaction turned into a relentless nightmare. It was weird. I felt like I was fighting for my life. At one particular point a representative laughed about it more than the phone I was in shock.”

“I made this film not just for myself, but so that it might be the voice of numerous other people who may be becoming treating this way by lending institutions. I have been told several stories of older folks that some banks are bullying and most of those individuals don’t have a voice, according to Dunn.

Dunn began his video with a $ 50 price range. Money is tight, but thankfully I had a handful of filmmaking friends that wanted to assist me. We shot the whole factor in a single weekend, and I did the voice-more than narration myself.” according to Dunn. Comedian Mark Serritella was so upset when he heard what the bank was carrying out that he asked to play Dunn in the film in exchange for gas funds and a location to crash. One more actor-filmmaker buddy, Nicholas George, helped polish the script and flew to San Diego to play the undertaker in the Bank of America Wants You to Die documentary.

“Mark Serritella actually captured the feelings and Nicholas George was hilarious in the video,” mentioned Dunn. “After I shot the last scene for Portion One, I ultimately began to feel like all of this hardship had a greater purpose. Like the story of David versus Goliath, said Dunn. In this case, a modest bank buyer like myself is becoming bullied by the biggest bank in America, Bank of America. I didnt know what else to make of it other than is seems as although Bank of America wants you to die… prior to they modify.
