OFFICIAL STATEMENT

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Subject: Clarification on Artist Playground’s Participation in the Double Take Twinbill

Artist Playground wishes to clarify its role in the production of Double Take.

Artist Playground is not, and has never been, the producer of Double Take. The sole producer of the production was Kho-Lab Productions, headed by Marco Rivera.

Under our collaboration agreement, Artist Playground’s participation was limited to creative collaboration and the engagement of the production staff and crew. Kho-Lab Productions, under Marco Rivera, was responsible for casting the performers and for all financial and operational obligations of the production.

As of this writing, approximately 75% of the fees due to Artist Playground under the collaboration agreement remain unpaid.

It has also come to our attention that several individuals involved in the production have not received the compensation owed to them. Artist Playground deeply sympathizes with everyone affected. However, the financial obligations for the production, including the payment of those under the responsibility of Kho-Lab Productions, rest solely with Kho-Lab Productions and Marco Rivera.

Since the conclusion of the production, we have made multiple attempts to communicate with Marco Rivera regarding these outstanding obligations. Unfortunately, our efforts have gone unanswered, and our means of communication have since been blocked.

If anyone is still able to reach him, we respectfully ask that they encourage him to provide those affected with an update on when these outstanding obligations will be fulfilled. We believe everyone who dedicated their time, talent, and hard work to this production deserves clear communication and accountability.

Despite these circumstances, Artist Playground remains open to communication and sincerely hopes this matter can be resolved fairly, responsibly, and with respect for everyone affected.

Signed,
Roeder Camañag
Artistic Director
Artist Playground
