Mike,
There are a lot of reasons for any delays. First of all, it takes about a year, for all accounting to be added in. Foriegn and domestic rentals, certain times and channels are re-negotiating contracts and a lot of money is tied up until all accounts are settled. And anyone that has every dealt with a corporate entity know what it is like dealing with account recievables departments. I did a $5000 show for Blue Cross, a few years ago, one of the largest insurance companies in the world and it took three months to get paid. I did USO tours in Puerto Rico and took six months. With these smaller production companies, often, after everything is paid, investors, etc. they don't have a dime left over to pay anybody and actually a lot of these companies declare bankruptcy and fold so no one is paid. You have done about all you can do. Wait until things have a chance to go through cycles, check back from time to time. Tape the shows and play them for your friends. Hell, turn the tables on them and put the sections on You Tube. At least get some milage out of it. Congratulations.
MAB
