Hype Special #17 – Talking Legion M with Jeff Annison

Hosted by Selina Wilken, Jeff Annison

August 24, 2016

This Hype Podcast Special sits down with Legion M co-founder Jeff Annison to discuss how the fan-owned entertainment company can influence Hollywood.

At San Diego Comic-Con 2016, we spoke to Jeff Annison about a startup company named Legion M, which aims to put fans in control of entertainment production.

The company is owned by fans, who as stakeholders will have executive control of the content being produced, including collaborations with Seth Green’s Stoopid Buddy Studios.

The Legion has reached its $1m goal since the recording of this podcast, and you can check out more about the projects currently in development, as well as ways to get involved, on their website.
