Rising stars from UM say state film commission favors out-of-towners

The brains behind the Cocaine Cowboys documentary franchise have placed bounty on Florida Film Commissioner Lucia Fishburne. Rakontur producer Alfred Spellman claims Fishburne has not ponied up $68,000 in state incentives his company earned for filming two documentaries in-state. So irate is the 30-year-old University of Miami graduate that he had Rakontur's art department superimpose an illustrated image of Fishburne's face on a spaghetti Western-style wanted poster. Her alleged crime: "Robbery." "It's been excuse after excuse," Spellman grouses. "The film commission has used us to promote how great their incentive program is, but since October, we have been getting the runaround as to why we haven't been able to get our incentive money."
