Jeff Deverett is formerly from Toronto, Canada where he acquired a Law Degree from Osgoode Hall Law School and a Finance Degree from The University of Toronto. After his legal internship, Jeff migrated directly into the film & TV industry starting in the Home Video Distribution division of New World Entertainment when VHS & Beta was in its “heyday”. Jeff continued his film & TV Distribution career for 22 years working as Senior VP at Astral Communications (a big public Canadian Media Company); EVP International Distribution for Anchor Bay Entertainment; SVP Domestic Distribution for HIT Entertainment, where he helped manage iconic kids brands Barney, Bob the Builder, and Thomas the Tank Engine; and SVP North American Distribution for Alliance Entertainment. Jeff then founded and launched his own worldwide distribution company, KaBOOM! Entertainment which was eventually sold to eOne Entertainment. After 22 years of film Distribution, Jeff had a burning desire to try his hand at the “artistic” side of the business and became a film writer, producer, and director of low budget independent feature films. Over the past decade, Jeff financed, produced and/or directed seven feature films which he self distributed worldwide. Three of his movies, FULL OUT, KISS & CRY, and FULL OUT 2 - YOU GOT THIS! are presently airing on NETFLIX worldwide in 60 countries and 22 languages. After a long and successful career in film Production & Distribution, Jeff is excited to share his knowledge and experience with up-and-coming new filmmakers and students. He currently teaches at San Diego State University’s School of Theatre, Television and Film.

Stuff we use:
LENS - Most people ask us what camera we use, no one ever asks about the lens which filmmakers always tell us is more important. This lens was a big investment for us and one we wish we could have made sooner. Started using this lens at the end of 2013 - amzn.to/2tbtmOq
AUDIO
Rode VideoMic Pro - The Rode mic helps us capture our backup audio. It also helps us sync up our audio in post amzn.to/2t1n2hx
Audio Recorder - If we had to do it all over again, this is probably the first item we would have bought - amzn.to/2tbFlM9
LIGHTS - Although we like to use as much natural light as we can, we often enhance the lighting with this small portable light. We have two of them and they have saved us a number of times - amzn.to/2u5UnHv
COMPUTER - Our favorite computer, we each have one and have used various models since 2010 - amzn.to/2t1M67Z
EDITING - We upgraded our editing suite this year and we’re glad we did! This has improved our workflow and the quality of our work. Having new software also helps when we have a problem, it’s easy to search and find a solution - goo.gl/56LnpM

I'm getting ready to meet up with a Producer once he finds a sponsor to do a screenplay from my first and only book I've written. Having this background from your Part 1 & 2 has generated a certain edge in understanding and speaking on the terms of the contract.
Thank you, Jeff! That was very insightful and has given me quite a confidence lift.
Woo, go Jeff! The Realist producer I've ever heard. Always love hearing from this guy :)
What this video taught me was more of the business side of the movie industry but Jeff is always full of knowledge 🙂
Here is Part 1 - th-cam.com/video/UlklxslDxgk/w-d-xo.html
Excellent Description of a realistic process.
Love listening to this guy speak. He’s realistic and doesn’t pull punches. Main thing I get out of this is why Hollywood has given us nothing but 20 years of superhero movies and not much else. Thank god for the streamers that at least give us variety.
Glad I started watching these again.
Cheers!
Very necessary conversation. Note taking video
Indeed. Thank you for your support Elie!
I started working on my first movie after doing several concepts and Ideas but honestly, i have no idea how to start but knowing these obstacles are there. I love this channel, i have learned so much. I have an offer to write a project for netflix but i dont want to to work for that souless company.
Just write it. A lot of people would love to be in your position. Take the chance and see where it takes you
Good interviews!
Cheers Rusty!
Super good. Thx.
Thanks Phil!
These Rock!
Yo , just a question I would like to hear what you all think. What about renting your film out to a media channel/company for a 12 months for an annual fee? Is that crazy ?
My goal is to get a manager this season
What did this video teach you?
people only care about money
"Passion" isn't enough.
“Know thy enemy.”
Bloodsucking executives are the enemy, and so Mr. Deverett here is a priceless mentor in our fight to be treated fairly (and even legally!) as working artists for once. Bravo, I say :)
You gotta be able to connect with people, and people are attached to their money.
On the 750k to make a decent movie, he is wrong. You can make a great movie for around 200 to 300K. You may not get a big name actor but you can make a great film for a low cost.
21:30 Brendan Fraser is perfect example
I need help! 6 book series!
Q:"So how do you get to pitch an idea to Netflix?"
A:"You can't, you need to go in with a company who's worked with them before."
Q:"So how do you get to pitch an idea to Netflix?"
A:"You can't, you need to go in with a company who's worked with them before."
Q:"So how do you get to pitch an idea to Netflix?"
A:"?????????."
Love most of his advice (and really like him personally) but no legit agent or manager will ever ask for a retainer. EVER. It's even against Guild rules.
Yeah he is very down to us :'))) and well..he just too funny to me though
Ah well.... that settles it, I Don't see the point in trying. Seems like it's who you know, more than what you can do.
Just follow the $$$!
Face it. People do a job for the money, especially film distributors. If you ain't talking money, you ain't talking about nothing.
this why things come out crap
@@royaltypoetry1533 Well not necessarily, see they're passionate about what they do otherwise if they wasn't they want be doing it but if you don't have the money they want help you. You write screenplays I'm sure you do because this channel is for people like us but let's say you're a screenwriter and film producer and need a entertainment lawyer you think that lawyer will give you legal advice for free? No and if they do they will tell you just how they told me. "Ma'am, you want me to give you legal advice for free. I tell you what I'll give you some legal advice. Now I charge $5,000 if you can't pay that then don't ask for free legal advice from a lawyer goodbye." If you're rich you don't need God, but if you're poor then you need him. I'm poor so I know I need him.
@@starbright6579 you can't use lawyers and artists in the same thing.
In music, movies, shows, plays or video games. You need to be passionate about it
For example CALL OF DUTY. When COD was passionate about their game. It was fun, the fan base wasn't divided, and they didnt make half a** work. Now they became about money and look at COD NOW
Fast and Furious used to be great when they cared about it and wasn't money hungry.
You can't not compare law with art work.
When you creating something you can tell when its about money because they just throw things together and thats it. That's what he's saying.
Distributors don't watch the movies, don't hardly market it, or don't believe in it.
In order for movies to work and come out great everyone needs to be on board.
Just like Netflix they don't market they're shows and use all that money to make it but don't promote it, or market it right and 99% of Netflix shows don't make it pass season 1
Art like movies and stuff takes teamwork. That what he also said.
To make a great movie, takes story, cast, great production, great market, and distributor.
Guess what it doesn't matter if your screenplay A1 or cast if nobody doesn't know it existed then what's the point.
It's called balance u need to be passionate about understand is it great money wise but they just throwing passionate out the window.
In business you not suppose to get behind anything you don't believe in anyway.
Now you can compare the business with lawyers because lawyers won't take your case if they don't believe it'll win and if that lawyer passionate about your case 9 out of 10 that lawyers will see to it you'll win
That's how movies should be.
This is only true if you care more about profitability than quality
If my priorities are the complete opposite, my focus will be more on crafting a timeless work rather than juicing every last penny out of audiences
Of course, the real fun comes when a high-quality film also makes boatloads of money (Joker etc.). But executives are allergic to artistic risk by nature, so they will never be able to spearhead that sort of massive change
I can't watch this. Its too depressing
I dunno, I think it’s extremely exciting to hear an honest, compassionate, and exhaustive overview of the entire Hollywood “business” for once 🤷♂️
The analogy I use is flipping a cockroach over to watch its legs wiggle. Now take a wild guess as to how I think of most executives ;)

I like this guy, he's a very motivating speaker... Tks for the class... I'm making 3 movies 🎬 🎞 🎥 before I die... 3 of the greatest stories/movies ever told..TOLD... "Coming Soon To A Theater Near You" ....Jessenashvillejames 👍
Movie distributors sound like the dregs of humanity. This is a business that sounds ripe for disruption by independent thinking, tech innovation, and filmmaker organizing.
