Will you actually get paid if you mix the sound? All of these people are already losing money on this movie. Are they extremely rich? They sound stupid enough to be extremely rich.

It is a legitimate question.

Tom and Dick are not rich. They are perhaps eight years my junior, they gambled everything on Fishing Days, they experienced modest success, and Tom rolled all of his profits from Fishing Days (and all of Tom & Dick's profits from Dance Wolf) into Poky Stick 2.

Harry is not rich. His fee on these projects is less than one tenth of mine because, you see, he has 'creative control.' He also has monkey points.

June is financially successful, but not "crazy rich." As mentioned, she is an internist who owns part of a successful medical practice. She also has a goodly settlement from the former Mr. June. However, these projects absorb the lion's share of her disposable income; by our best estimation, June has invested roughly $750k in April's film career and has made back approximately $35k of that ($30k of it due to Poky Stick, which posted a $170k loss) so far.

Post-production on Dance Wolf was held up to shoot Poky Stick 2, and without profits from it, Dance Wolf was in danger of not being completed... but more on that in NaH#3.

It should also be noted that two of June's prior projects - the only two not listed here - ended in litigation over failure to pay.
