These guys are just *** that don't know anyone in the business. No one should pay upfront. This is the first mistake that I made. I finally got a partial refund after harassing David Divona. I'm much wiser now, but this should be a warning to stay away from these frauds. It's better to do it yourself. I know it's hard to make it and these guys promise a connection that will help you get there. Smoke and mirrors. I don't know how many people they've scammed and it is a travesty and I don't know how they live with themselves doing this to people who really believe in their stories.

A Dream Shattered
I submitted a show concept to them about a year and a half ago, signed everything they wanted me to do and forked over $2500, which was money that I could have used to pay bills, but they built me up for a dream that my show would be pitched and almost immediately after sending them the money, I had to beg for information on whether or not the show garnered any traction. I have not heard from Mr. DiVona in months and I have a feeling I won't again. I feel as if I got robbed of money I couldn't really afford to lose for a dream that was never going to come into fruition.

Proven Entertainment SCAM ALERT
I had a great conversation with David DeVona about how they were going to help me get my show into the right hands. We paid the "legal fees" and the "uploading cost" and I personally put out a lot of effort to get them the materials they "needed." Nothing ever came of it. They always claimed that they needed something more from me. I paid them over $1000 (and they "mistakenly" sent an invoice for twice that much) and radio silence. David claimed that "no shopping fees" applied to our agreement- it was all the uploading costs to Aspera- but I don't even think that our program ended up online. Aspera is the first step in shopping shows to Amazon, and I could have done that much myself with all the time I spent communicating. After a time, I wasn't even speaking with David, rather his assistant Tony, who was not helpful in the slightest. The best I can do to make up for my folly is to warn others about Proven Entertainment and the scam I fell for. Don't let yourself get roped in, they have nothing more going for them than a nice website.

Took our money and never heard from them
We did everything they asked for, paid the fee and then they never even bother answering my emails. Do not do business with this company if they in fact are a real business. We should sue them for all the time wasted and the money paid. I think we are entitled to at least a reporf of what they did for the money we paid them. They really know how to talk you into it. Please ask them for a list of projects they have been able to sell and make sure you research if is true. Do not fall in their trap.

In trying to resolve my issues that sound like your issues with Proven I brought up the bad reviews they have on this site. They tell me this, that I'd like to check out with you: "Three of these reviews are from the same person who sent us a hard drive that his series in an improper format.
We sent it back to him. When he sent it back to us, the hard drive was broken and could not be read.
So we sent it back and he left 3 reviews for us." There are four reviews posted: https://www.pissedconsumer.com/browse-reviews.html?query=divona&redirect=1. Are three of them yours?
