• In the span of a month, a script was written and armed with just one camera, Jeff Rodia, a transfer student into Huntington University, and Derek Lindeman shot what they assumed was a fun video. That “fun video,” however, became an award-winning film at various festivals across the country. “Bad for Business” was born out of Rodia and Lindeman’s mutual experiences with ex-girlfriends and Lindeman’s juggling of 10 girlfriends at the same time. With the screenplay completed in May of 2006, filming in June of the same year and the final product completed exactly a year later, Rodia of Blenheim, N.J., and Lindeman had their work cut out for them. They made copies and sent their work to festivals throughout the U.S., and it paid off. “Bad for Business” won Best Feature and Best Overall film at the International Film Festival at Myrtle Beach in December of 2007 and Best Comedy at the Sacramento International Film Festival just four months later. In the fall of 2008, Rodia and Lindeman were approached by Jerry Dalton, a representative of an independent film corporation, who wanted to show “Bad for Business” in national theatres along with 11 other hand-picked independent films at the cost of $2,900. Dalton made a deal with Carmike Theaters. Ninety-one theaters across the country showed the Rodia and Lindeman film “Bad for Business.”
