Aaaaaaand he's gone.
Apparently after my diplomatic plan of trying to set aside four different plans to calculate the worth of each project, seeing which one will be the most feasible to work on and work on to get the budget for the most feasible one...he said that plan was a waste of time, backwards thinking, and that "he wouldn't do it that way". After asking what his plan would be, his response was "it's your money, you figure it out, I just don't agree" then "just pick a budget and work it out from there" to finally a condescending "just google Film Productions and figure out the budget from there, look at film quotes from famous directors, you'll learn something".
I'm glad he's gone. Whenever progress was happening, he wasn't involved. And whatever he was involved, progress was regressing. Seriously, if you want the title of producer...it's your DAMN JOB to figure out budget. And just saying "well just pick a number between one and ten" is a really really REALLY shitty way of determining budget. Especially since he knew this endeavor was not going to bring in anymore investors, I was lucky to get mine. He accused me of being an amateur but that behavior he exhibited was just as amateurish. And childish.
I'd be really really surprised if that guy actually gets anywhere in life with an attitude like that. Then again, unsurprisingly given his meth use history, that doesn't surprise me he came off as loopy and unreasonable.
