1 year and no video yet. Moving Art Productions, Milwaukee - avoid and advice needed

WE hired Moving Art Productions out of Milwaukee to do our wedding video.  THe initial meeting went well, I liked the sample video and price was semi-reasonable.  He does this part time on the side and said it would take 6 months to get the wedding video.  I thought that was a bit long, but hired him.  At the six month mark, nothing.  At the nine month mark he informed me he had told me it could take up to a year (this was news to me, I had never heard that before and I certainly never would ave hired him if he told me initially it would take a year).

Its now been 1 year and one week and I have not heard from him since 9 months.  I have emailed and called two times over the course of the last two weeks and have gotten no response.  I am beyond frustrated.  WE didn't even have our wedding video for our first anniversary!!!!!  How crappy is that???  THis man has half of my money and I have no indiciation that I am going to have a wedding video at all.
This is upsetting me beyond belief, unfortunatly on the contract there is no complete date.  Has anyone dealt with them before?  ANy advice?  I don't want to have to go to a lawyer, but it may get there. 

My advice would be to avoid Paul Williams for your wedding video.  No couple should have to wait over a year for their video and the lack of communication is an extremely poor business practice.

    Not to be too nosey, but how much did you pay for him to do this? I work for an atty and thats the only reason I ask. I hope you also saved all the emails and what not from him. My friend had this issue with their wedding pictures and they paid so much money for the guy.

    Does he have a place of business?  If so, I would go there in person and CALMLY confront him.  Have the signed contract (hopefully you have one).  If he operates out of his home I would call and email every single day and leave a calm message. 

    If that doesn't work, depending on how much you paid, I would consider going to small claims court.  If you have no documentation of an agreement, that would be challenging. 

    I would also report him to the better business bureua, and write negative reviews on every single website possible (Google, Yahoo, Yelp, The Knot, etc).  That might get his attention.
