After graduating from Law School in Toronto, Canada, Jeff Deverett launched his film career in the Distribution division of Astral Media, a large public entertainment and media company. Jeff ran the sales and acquisitions of the Home Entertainment division wherein he acquired and sold movies and TV shows both domestically and around the world. He began with Theatrical distribution and Television, which soon led to VHS tapes, morphed into DVD and BluRay disc, and then eventually transitioned to digital delivery and streaming platforms. www.deverettmedia.com www.indiefilmcommunity.com www.instagram.com/indiefilmcommunity www.youtube.com/@IndieFilmCommunity God Is Good Trailer Connect with your host Kaia all Alexander: https://entertainmentbusinessleague.com/ https://twitter.com/thisiskaia  Produced by Stuart W. Volkow P.G.A. Get career training and a free ebook “How to Pitch Anything in 1 Min.” at www.EntertainmentBusinessLeague.com In this episode of Hollywood Wolfpack, Kaia Alexander speaks with renowned filmmaker and educator Jeff Deverett, who brings a wealth of experience in independent film production, distribution, and financing. Given the recent wildfires in Los Angeles, Kaya opens the discussion by emphasizing the importance of community support, particularly highlighting the relief efforts through the Entertainment Community Fund, a nonprofit dedicated to helping entertainment industry workers affected by disasters. Kaya and Jeff delve into the intricacies of filmmaking, discussing the delicate balance of creativity and business acumen necessary for success. Jeff emphasizes the vital importance of understanding the financial side of filmmaking and the need to consider audience demands before committing to a project. He explains that a filmmaker's ability to generate pre-awareness and audience interest can significantly influence investor relationships and distribution opportunities. Jeff offers insights into the world of distribution, detailing strategies to navigate this challenging landscape, particularly for indie filmmakers. He discusses the necessity of having a solid marketing plan and suggests that filmmakers allocate 20% of their production budget for marketing expenses to increase visibility and reach. The discussion also sheds light on the realities of distribution deals, as Jeff shares anecdotes that reveal the often tumultuous relationship between filmmakers and distributors. Jeff touches on the importance of collaboration in filmmaking. Jeff describes his "wolf pack" highlighting how he surrounds himself with talented individuals allows him to excel in areas where he may lack expertise, such as social media marketing or specific technical skills. This collaborative spirit echoes in Kaya's mission to foster relationships among her students at the Entertainment Business School. Jeff's rich storytelling also includes his latest project, "God is Good," inspired by the uplifting true story of an Asian immigrant's journey. In the latter part of the episode, the two engage with Kaia's students, answering questions. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We had an incredible turnout today for our annual Oscar Nominations LIVE Chat! Thanks to all the lovely folks who woke up early with us on Hollywood's biggest morning. "Emilia Pérez" leads all nominees with 13 -- which is historic for a foreign-language film -- followed by "The Brutalist" and "Wicked" with 10 each. We were thrilled by some nominations (Coralie Fargeat in best director for "The Substance") and bummed by the omission of others (Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross in best score for "Challengers"). And we were proud and thrilled to receive such a tremondous outpouring of support for our LA Wildfire fundraiser. All the Super Chat and Super Thanks donations we've gotten will go toward three charities we've selected: the Entertainment Community Fund, Pasadena Humane Society and World Central Kitchen. Just from the stream alone, we raised $936.59, which is way more than we expected, and that number keeps growing as people have added to it in the hours since. So thank you all for your generosity. If you'd like to contribute, the YouTube link is here. Click on the three dots beneath the video, then Thanks. Let us know what your thoughts were on this year's nominations. And keep an eye out for our Oscar Predictions livestream, which will happen a few days before the Academy Awards on March 2.

This episode is the finale of Season 6. Yes it's a wrap on season 6 and what a joy it has been. This season the podcast reached the milestone of 100 episodes and received its first award. I am over the moon to announce that the podcast has been awarded the Bronze and Listener's Choice 2024 Signal awards in the Artists and Designers Shaping Culture Category! Cheers to more seasons and more awards.  Now on today's show you are in for a real treat because you have two Jersey girls, with Caribbean mothers, and theater backgrounds on the microphone. It was such a pleasure to sit down with none other than actorprenuer Lori Tishfield, who now resides in Toronto. We discuss how important it is to maintain a sense of self beyond your professional identity and sitting in a place of balance between internal validation and the need for external affirmation from the industry. We touch upon overcoming self doubt and societal conditioning so you can own your confidence and move through your career, business and life with agency. Reminiscing on how the regalness of the black actresses we grow up on and their mere presence was empowering and unapologetic, teaching us we are expensive. Our thoughts, feelings, and contributions to this world especially as black women are expensive and we should act accordingly. We dissect how rejection is protection, the need to sometimes pull the receipts from past experiences to remember things that have worked out before and not forcing doors shut before their time. This episode boils down to trusting your intuition as your compass, understanding that your path is uniquely yours, and pivoting with grace so you can see where the journey takes you.  Lori Tishfield is an Actorpreneur simultaneously based in Brooklyn and Toronto. Lori's most recent live performances have been as a featured vocalist in André De Shields' concert series and in her recent and first solo show, Audra on a Budget, at Green Room 42. On television, Lori can also be found in Orange is the New Black and FBI: Most Wanted. Aside from the arts, Lori is the Founder of Natural Talent, an experiential staffing agency exclusively staffing actors in brand ambassador work. In the last 9 years, Natural Talent has partnered with over 300 brands and provided “survival jobs” for over 500 actors nationwide. This Fall, Lori has stepped in as the national facilitator of the Creative Entrepreneurship Project for the Entertainment Community Fund, educating artists nationwide on how to start their own businesses.

What does it mean to feel truly supported as an artist, not only in times of crisis but throughout one's creative career? In our Season 3 premiere, Jennifer sits down with Elena Muslar — executive coach, educator, arts administrator, and managing director of the Entertainment Community Fund.

Together, they encourage artists to view asking for help as a right, not a last resort, reframing support as a strength, and positioning stability and self-care as essential for lasting growth. They challenge us to redefine success and resilience through a holistic approach, reminding all of us that in choosing the creative life, we deserve a community that sees, values, and stands by us every step of the way.  Elena Muslar Bio: (She/Her), Managing Director of The Career Center, joined the Entertainment Community Fund (formerly The Actors Fund) in 2023.

The Return of Spectember has arrived! All month long, we'll be talking about movies that have ghosty ghost themes. We start the month off with one that was slated for later in the month to coincide with the director's latest. But we moved it up because we needed a shorter runtime for Movie #1. Francis Ford Coppola's B'Twixt Now and Sunrise: The Authentic Cut from 2022 is a recut version of the original film's theatrical version from 2011. From IMDB: A struggling horror writer visiting a small town on a book tour gets caught up in a murder mystery involving a young girl. That night in a dream, he is approached by a mysterious young ghost named V. Experience the Authentic Cut of a haunting murder-mystery written, directed, and produced by Francis Ford Coppola, starring Val Kilmer, Bruce Dern, and Elle Fanning.

Brian Stokes Mitchell is a two-time Tony Award-winning actor who has always thought the universe chose him. Born on Halloween when “people dress up in costumes and pretend to be other people”, the stars have indeed decided. Aside from performing, he also writes, dances, produces his own music, and orchestrates, but out of all the things he can do, his best quality is being a really good student. He details his latest project, “HOPE”, realizing that sometimes creative works have their own timing - this video dropping exactly when we need to hear it the most. He presents a profound metaphor about life as a "long sentence" full of commas rather than periods, and what his “dead questions” are. With an upcoming role in “3 Summers of Lincoln” at the La Jolla Playhouse, he recounts how the project deeply resonated with him upon reading the script. Aside from all his projects, he always makes sure to give back to the community–from being chairman of the board for the Entertainment Community Fund for 19 years to providing entertainment from his balcony during the pandemic. Stokes shares how curiosity continues to motivate him, and why we should follow our heart in all our endeavors. Brian Stokes Mitchell is a two-time Tony Award-winning, Drama Desk Award-winning, and Outer Critics Award winning actor. He is renowned for his powerful baritone voice and dynamic stage presence with standout performances in Broadway productions like “Ragtime”, “Kiss Me, Kate”, “Man of La Mancha”, and “Shuffle Along”. He's become a celebrated figure in musical theater, but beyond Broadway, he has showcased his talent on television, including shows like “Vampirina”, “Wolverine”, “Billions”, “Mr. Robot”, and of course, “Trapper John, M. D.” He's also recognized for his philanthropic work, particularly for his 19 years of serving as chairman of the board for the Entertainment Community Fund, and is a member of the Theater Hall of Fame since 2016.
