Hi Tina,
I hear you loud and clear, and I am sincerely sorry. I completely understand why it feels like you're being given the runaround - four months is an incredibly long time to wait, and it is not fair that you’ve had to be the ones constantly reaching out for updates. That is absolutely not the experience we want for you or Michelle.
Please know that I am doing everything in my power to get this finalized for you right now. I have flagged this specifically as a long-overdue case with our billing department to ensure it is pulled from the queue and handled immediately.
I am pushing for a concrete resolution so we can finally close this chapter for you. I will touch base the very moment I have confirmation that the transaction has been cleared on our end.
Thank you for being so remarkably patient with us.Warm regards,SamOn Fri, Mar 13, 2026 at 4:53 PM Tina Najar <tina_najar@yahoo.com> wrote:Hi Sam- any update.

I’m really sorry that this has dragged on for so long. You’ve been incredibly patient, and it makes complete sense that you’d want clarity. I hear your frustration, and it’s completely valid.
I know it feels like it should be as simple as clicking a button, but the refund process on our end goes through several internal steps before the transaction can actually be released. That doesn’t make the delay any less frustrating, and I’m truly sorry it has taken this long, especially after you’ve already reached out multiple times.
I also want to share that we are a very small team managing a high volume of requests, but we are working as quickly and carefully as possible to make sure every refund, including yours, is completed properly. Our team is fully focused on moving things along so you can have your refund soon.

Hi there,
I’m really sorry that this has dragged on for so long. You’ve been incredibly patient, and it makes complete sense that you’d want clarity. I hear your frustration, and it’s completely valid.
I know it feels like it should be as simple as clicking a button, but the refund process on our end goes through several internal steps before the transaction can actually be released. That doesn’t make the delay any less frustrating, and I’m truly sorry it has taken this long, especially after you’ve already reached out multiple times.
I also want to share that we are a very small team managing a high volume of requests, but we are working as quickly and carefully as possible to make sure every refund, including yours, is completed properly. Our team is fully focused on moving things along so you can have your refund soon.
You’ll hear from us again as soon as your refund is complete, along with a copy of your refund receipt for your records.
Thank you again, from the bottom of our hearts, for your patience, understanding, and kindness. We truly appreciate it.

Hi there,
I’m really sorry that this has dragged on for so long. You’ve been incredibly patient, and it makes complete sense that you’d want clarity. I hear your frustration, and it’s completely valid.
I know it feels like it should be as simple as clicking a button, but the refund process on our end goes through several internal steps before the transaction can actually be released. That doesn’t make the delay any less frustrating, and I’m truly sorry it has taken this long, especially after you’ve already reached out multiple times.
I also want to share that we are a very small team managing a high volume of requests, but we are working as quickly and carefully as possible to make sure every refund, including yours, is completed properly. Our team is fully focused on moving things along so you can have your refund soon.
You’ll hear from us again as soon as your refund is complete, along with a copy of your refund receipt for your records.
Thank you again, from the bottom of our hearts, for your patience, understanding, and kindness. We truly appreciate it.

Hi Tina,
I am incredibly sorry to hear that we have reached this point, and I completely understand your disappointment. You and Michelle have been remarkably patient throughout this process, and I sincerely apologize that the delay has persisted for this long.
Please know that I have expedited your refund this morning to ensure it is prioritized above all else. Because our small team handles these manually, I am staying on top of this specific transaction to make sure it is finalized immediately.
I value your support and deeply regret that this experience has been so frustrating. I will send you a direct confirmation as soon as the process is complete.

Re: Please reply: Fork n' Film Reservation - Important Update
It’s almost 6 months after Michelle Barba and I were told we would receive our refund and we have been put on priority status. Through this entire time we have been extremely patient after receiving multiple emails saying “I will personally send you an email with an update” and NOTHING. It may not seem important to you guys but it’s very important to us. I will be contacting the better business bureau and sending them all emails I’ve received.

It’s almost 6 months after Michelle Barba and I were told we would receive our refund and we have been put on priority status. Through this entire time we have been extremely patient after receiving multiple emails saying “I will personally send you an email with an update” and NOTHING. It may not seem important to you guys but it’s very important to us. I will be contacting the better business bureau and sending them all emails I’ve received. This is absolutely unacceptable business.On Wednesday, May 13, 2026, 11:03 AM, Tina Najar <tina_najar@yahoo.com> wrote:

Hi Tina,
I am incredibly sorry to hear that we have reached this point, and I completely understand your disappointment. You and Michelle have been remarkably patient throughout this process, and I sincerely apologize that the delay has persisted for this long.
Please know that I have expedited your refund this morning to ensure it is prioritized above all else. Because our small team handles these manually, I am staying on top of this specific transaction to make sure it is finalized immediately.
I value your support and deeply regret that this experience has been so frustrating. I will send you a direct confirmation as soon as the process is complete.
Warm regards,

Hi Tina,
I hear you loud and clear, and I am sincerely sorry. I completely understand why it feels like you're being given the runaround - four months is an incredibly long time to wait, and it is not fair that you’ve had to be the ones constantly reaching out for updates. That is absolutely not the experience we want for you or Michelle.
Please know that I am doing everything in my power to get this finalized for you right now. I have flagged this specifically as a long-overdue case with our billing department to ensure it is pulled from the queue and handled immediately.
I am pushing for a concrete resolution so we can finally close this chapter for you. I will touch base the very moment I have confirmation that the transaction has been cleared on our end.

Hi there,
I’m really sorry that this has dragged on for so long. You’ve been incredibly patient, and it makes complete sense that you’d want clarity. I hear your frustration, and it’s completely valid.
I know it feels like it should be as simple as clicking a button, but the refund process on our end goes through several internal steps before the transaction can actually be released. That doesn’t make the delay any less frustrating, and I’m truly sorry it has taken this long, especially after you’ve already reached out multiple times.
I also want to share that we are a very small team managing a high volume of requests, but we are working as quickly and carefully as possible to make sure every refund, including yours, is completed properly. Our team is fully focused on moving things along so you can have your refund soon.
You’ll hear from us again as soon as your refund is complete, along with a copy of your refund receipt for your records.
Thank you again, from the bottom of our hearts, for your patience, understanding, and kindness. We truly appreciate it.
