    • Controversy

    In 2014 Community Service received some controversy over allegations that the film's director had tried to extort money from the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, which he would use towards the movie. Kelly received an indictment at the U.S. District Court in Greensboro, on one charge of "extortion by interstate communication". The indictment states that Kelly had been hired by Reynolds in 2012 to film a mock trial, which the company's attorneys would use in preparation for an impending court case. Lawyers for Reynolds stated that Kelly had not returned a provided confidentiality agreement and that the company had received emails in January 2013 that they claim are Kelly asking for money, one of which stated that he was "willing to take a contribution of $15,000 to a Kickstarter campaign for a horror film titled “Community Service The Movie.” The filmmaker states he was interviewed by FBI agents and that his hard drives and equipment were seized.ex
