Steve Snyder has a history of obtaining funds from investors oblivious to his ponzi scheme in order to begin production on films that he, himself, has written and plans to direct, produce and often act in, in order to generate a well-perceived trailer. His sole purpose is to have a trailer to fraudulently fundraise and gain more funds. Steve Snyder, then typically ceases post-production efforts in finishing the film for release, withholding future pay and credits to the production staff and actors, with the sole purpose of using the trailer to gain even more funds from investors to pay for his lifestyle and continue to advance his company. Steve Snyder is known to fraudulently use such monies for post production to purchase more production equipment and pay his rent. This is a ponzi scheme and his movies have never been completed. Steve Snyder is NOT a ten year veteran DP, he has been scamming investors for the last two and a half years (since he moved to Hollywood) with this scheme and has left many innocent victims in his wake. Please note, Steve Snyder does not have connections to the networks and companies he brags about and none of his projects have seen the light of day with studios. Steve Snyder, unfortunately attempts to attach any names he can to his company by mere association through people he met on set. For instance, Steve Snyder claims that he has worked with Spike TV, however in reality, he hired a cameraman who once worked on a project for Spike TV. Steve Snyder and Afflatus Productions have ZERO connection to the associations they claim.
Afflatus Productions is not even a registered LLC or Corporation. Afflatus Productions does not have a business license or the proper permits to operate in the State of California. Afflatus Productions is run out of Steve Snyder’s bedroom. STEVE SNYDER even stole his company logo from Afflatus.com’s registered logo in use since 1996! NOTHING this man does is honest!
Please Note: Afflatus Productions’ camera equipment was obtained through misappropriated funds and embezzling from their own production fundraising for their film “Are You Serious”. If you work for or hire Steve Snyder or Afflatus Productions, YOUR ENTIRE PRODUCTION WILL BE IN JEOPARDY. His creditors are after every penny profited by Red Epic Camera rentals and services provided by Afflatus Productions, Epic-Rental and Production-LA.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg! Steve Snyder is a habitual CON ARTIST. He is involved in white collar crimes across the board (i.e. real estate, theft, copyright infringement, notary fraud).
