Want to see the video version of this podcast, please visit Youtube here: https://buff.ly/3QgTYZ3 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.
