@ReverseBenj Your DMs are closed for some reason. Do you want to start one and I'll respond

@sophiasegal Hi Sophia, thank you for sharing your story. I will DM you.

[Francesca Gregorini @francescagreg]

For those who haven’t had the chance to read our lawsuit, I wanted to share a few visuals that prove how blatant the similarities are between The Truth about Emanuel and @servant. Each picture will feature Emanuel on the left, and @servant on the right. (THREAD)

@JazzyDPro @Servant Thank you. I'm hoping it changes the culture of Hollywood so creators, both starting out, and already established, aren't afraid to express their ideas with the fear of being stolen from. x F

In 2013, I directed, produced, & wrote the screenplay for The Truth About Emanuel. Today, I filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against Apple Inc., M. Night Shyamalan, & Tony Basgallop for the extensive & irrefutable plagiarism in @Servant. Thread 1/4

@kerrymadden Thank you x F

[Francesca Gregorini @francescagreg]

@LEllsworth @Servant Yes exactly. It comes from deeply personal places, and having it co-opted is crushing. Thank you x F

My dear friend @Francescagreg stands up for herself and many other females in the industry whose intellectual property has been exploited by men in power. https://t.co/9cfiv2Ngdn

M. Night Shyamalan's 'Servant' Is Being Sued for Ripping Off a 2013 Film by @francescagreg https://t.co/IVFM5kf2Yn via @vice

[Francesca Gregorini @francescagreg]

@Servant I could go on (and I do, in the lawsuit), but the fact that the creators of @servant thought they could get away with such egregious copyright infringement speaks to their arrogance and complete disregard for female creators. (THREAD)
