    Jeff Annison – Legon M, Fan Owned Production - Jeff Annison made his debut on the Break It Down Show as guest #5, and now, after more than 1300 episodes, he has returned. During his initial appearance, they discussed the New York Rock Exchange, a platform designed to facilitate direct connections between musicians and their fans, allowing fans to invest in their favorite artists. Today, that project has evolved into something even bigger called Legion M, which is also fan-funded, but this time with a focus on movies. Jeff, along with co-founder Paul Scanlan, established Legion M to partner with prominent Hollywood creators, ranging from independent filmmakers to major studios. Their aim is to produce an array of captivating movies, TV shows, and digital content. What sets Legion M apart is its groundbreaking approach to ownership - it is the first-ever media company designed to be owned by fans. Leveraging innovative equity crowdfunding laws, anyone can now invest as little as $100 to own a stake in the company. The concept of an entertainment company owned by fans is not merely a whimsical idea; rather, it forms the bedrock of a business model with the potential to revolutionize the Hollywood landscape forever. This marks Jeff's second appearance on the Break It Down Show, where he joins Pete A Turner once again to shed light on the exciting developments of Legion M.
