Broken Sound Productions- Breach Of Contract
We were contacted by Broken Sound Productions in June of 2008 to do a taping for a feature presentation on Weekend Makeover. Involved parties from BSP were Brian Cregar and Larry and Eric Warm. A gentleman who presented himself as Larry Warm visited our location and did extensive filming of our manufacturing facilities as well as numerous interviews and installations. He was very polite and trust me, we made him work for it the whole time he was here. However that is where the professionalism stopped. Once filming was done we waited weeks and weeks for any additional feedback, scripting, editing., etc.. Then all of a sudden a you-tube video was posted- which I have to admit was done well and we have used as a sales tool. As it has been well over a year we are not expecting an airing anymore but have made countless efforts to the company simply to receive our raw footage so that we could use for it for other projects. In addition we have requested the video to also use in other projects. Thanks to the other postings to this site I was able to locate the company again after a 3 month "disappearance" and have again attempted to make contact. Unfortunately Larry is always in a meeting when I call. Again, we simply want our footage and are not asking for anything more, even though there has been a breach in contract, I guess I will just keep on trying!

Eric J. Warm, David J. Warm, Larry J. Warm, Stephen Warm are all Scam Artists and Unethical
Broken Sound Productions contacted us in June, 2007 about filming a segment for our company that was to air as part of a program called "Great Escapes." We paid them $7, 500 to shoot the spot and air it on E!, CNBC in Luxury Hotels with cross-promotional commercials on MSNBC, FOX and the Weather Channel. They sent someone out to film in Dec, 2007. That gentleman tells us that he still has not been paid and has expended a lot of wasted effort trying to collect. We never received our finished spot and it has not been aired. They eventually told us that they no longer had a relationship with CNBC Luxury Hotels. Since that was a key component of why we had purchased the media, we told them we wanted a refund. They refuse to refund the money. In the interim, as per the other posting, they have shut down the office in Boca Raton at which they originally operated, moved to a new address in Gainesville, FL, which is also now shutdown. Their website and e-mails are no longer functional. Another gentleman named Scott supposedly purchased some portion of the business in April, 2008 and now calls it BSP Direct. He is located in Boca Raton, FL. He said that at that point Broken Sound Productions went out of business. He has had several other companies call him to try to track down Larry, David and/or Eric. The individuals involved are all obviously related and there seems to be a common streak of criminality and lack of ethics running through their blood stream. I have found out that David, Eric and Larry are brothers. Stephen is the father and a lawyer and he is the Registered Agent for Broken Sound Productions. I too have filed complaints with the BBB of Florida and the General Attorney's Offices of both Illinois (where I do business) and Florida. My lawyer is in contact with Stephen Warm. He has also tried to lie and claim that the spot was aired even though both Eric and Larry (each of whom I reached at various points) told me that the spot had not been aired and that they didn't have the capacity of airing it since they were bankrupt. I know that they are not in fact bankrupt as Larry Warm has continued to do work for BSP Direct as an independent contractor and received payment for it.
