Are low budget bad movies just money laundering schemes? The curious case...

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

Several days ago, I made a thread asking about what happened to actress Anna Hutchison, who has been relegated to shitty low budget movies. You can find the thread here

So, I'm just using this as an example, but look at this trailer for one of the film's she's in called 'Murder at The Mansion' (2019) - it looks hilariously low budget:

This obscure low budget film has a 4.5/10 rating on IMDb with only 65 votes.

Now who produced this film? Stargazer Films USA, a premier independent entertainment company head quartered in Louisville, Kentucky. They're a division of Wyoming-based Stargazer Corp., a privately-held American mass media company.

They've produced FOUR of the five films she is in, all similarly low budget (Starting Up Love, Secrets at The Lake, Murder at The Mansion, Spitting Image) - https://stargazerfilmsusa.com/our-films/

Upon further examination of this company, four of the ''team'' have the last name O'Brien - https://stargazerfilmsusa.com/team/

Yes nepotism goes a long way, but it is a bit fishy.

Anyway, I am not trying to vilify the actors/actresses who choose to be in these films, nor am I making any hard accusations. What I've cited above is just one example of a shady production company, there's dozens more who produce these shady low budget movies. I'm just curious at the chances that these are money laundering schemes? I do wonder whether the actors/actresses are aware of whether they are. I've always had the inkling that they are such schemes.
