So we’ve talked endlessly about Bruce McDonald’s Pontypool over the past year or so and it seems the hype just never stops… which is a good thing as we’re obviously pretty big fans. So it was a nice surprise to find that the producer for the film, Jeff Coghlan, was in town for the Flyway film fest and seemed eager as we are to talk about this project. So if you’re a fan of Pontypool, here’s a little insight into the film and the latest on what’s next for the franchise from someone on the inside.
.
Props on THE HORSESHOE mention. If Jeff Mentioned Stompin’ Tom instead of The Stones, it’s Canadianness would be complete.
Jeffrey Coghlan defrauds naive old ladies out of their life savings with transparent investments schemes.
He is a pathetic waste of human life. If you care about basic human decency, please boycott this film.
Before spouting accusatory rhetoric about someone publicly on my film blog, please at least provide evidence of such fraudulent behavior.
PS – Pontypool is screening at midnight sometime in May in Minneapolis. If you haven’t already, go check out this film; it’s awesome!
Jeff Coghlan has been found liable at the Ontario Superior Court o Justice for running an investment scam and defrauding innocent people of their life savings. Run a search of the Court records in Toronto to verify.
Coghlan is dishonest, disreputable, and a disgusting human being.
If you’d like proof of fraudulent behavior, look no further.
I was just awarded a judgment from the California Labor Commissioner against Jeffrey Coghlan for wages & penalties due to me. Funding for a film I worked on for 3 weeks this past summer was promised but never delivered, and none of the crew was paid.
If anyone knows where JC is, I’d love to find him to collect my judgment of roughly $9,800.
We would like anyone who has had business dealings with Mr. Jeffrey Coghlan that require investigation or who may have been affected by Mr. Coghlan to please contact us immediately.
Thank You
