About this listen

In this episode, Jeff Deverett breaks down one of the biggest concerns for writers and indie filmmakers: how to protect your idea. Jeff explains the legal foundations of copyright, what is and isn't protectable, and how filmmakers should navigate pitching, sharing, and developing concepts in the real world. The episode begins with a listener question about mixing equity crowdfunding with private investors, where Jeff clarifies how to structure both without creating legal or financial conflicts. Takeaway To succeed as an indie filmmaker, you must balance protecting your work with sharing it enough to gain traction. Jeff emphasizes that real protection comes from expressing, documenting, and registering your idea—not hiding it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
