THE Professional Artist Managers Incorporated (PAMI) has ordered its members to refrain from working with Baron Geisler.
The talent managers' group called for an emergency meeting and released an official statement on Saturday in response to Ping Medina's complaint lodged last November 30, 2016 regarding the actions of Geisler while shooting the independent film "Bubog".
"After a thorough discussion and deliberation during the meeting, in the presence of Geisler's manager and PAMI member, Arnold Vegafria, PAMI unanimously arrived at the decision to inhibit all our artists from working with Geisler in any movie and television projects for an indefinite period," the statement says.
PAMI added that Vegafria assured the group that they will decline projects until Geisler is "mentally fit and psychologically stable to resume work."
To recall, Medina wrote in a lengthy Facebook post that Geisler urinated on him while shooting their scene. He said Geisler's actions were not written on the script and the latter was drunk while filming the scene.
PAMI said they strongly condemn the "disgusting act and behavior" of Geisler.
Meanwhile, Vegafria also filed a formal complaint against "Bubog" producer and director Arlyn Dela Cruz.
Geisler's camp questioned Dela Cruz's capacity to exercise her directorial control and assume full responsibility on the set of her movie.
PAMI also agreed to inhibit all their artists from accepting projects under Dela Cruz.
"As managers, when we send our artists to the set, it is with our complete trust that the producer and director will protect and ensure the safety of our artists. Therefore, we have also unanimously agreed to inhibit all our artists from accepting any projects involving Arlyn Dela Cruz." (Sunnex)
