Nyla Media’s film “American Cherry” fired a first assistant director last month after harassment complaints to the film’s producers on the first week of shooting.
Producer Taryn Arriola, head of production on the romance-thriller, told TheWrap: “We immediately terminated the services of the assistant director and removed him from the production after harassment complaints were filed and reviewed. It was a swift and necessary decision.”
The first assistant director, William Lambe, told TheWrap the accusations were completely false.
“I would never do that. I’ve been a first Ad for 15 years and I would never do that on any set,” he said.
