That meme wasn't just a passing thought; it was a clear signal from the fans. They recognized a DEFIANT truth, a real-life superhero waiting to break free from history's shadows. As the world's first fan-owned entertainment company, Legion M heard that call.

We took that raw, organic demand from the commuity and ran with it, assembling an incredible team to bring DEFIANT to life, first as a stunning graphic novel, and soon we hope, as a major motion picture.

This is what happens when your voice matters!

WHAT CAN I DO TO GET INVOLVED?

The old ways are over. Legion M isn't just an entertainment company; it's a paradigm shift. We're designed to be owned by YOU. We believe the biggest stories, the boldest visions, and the most impactful entertainment should come from the fans who love it most.

Before the graphic novel, before the movie in development, there was just a meme. When shared amongst the Legion M community, it ignited a powerful question: Why hasn't this story been told?

With over 150,000 members and a growing force of 56,000+ investors, we're democratizing Hollywood one project at a time.

DEFIANT: The Story Of Robert Smalls is proof of the concept. With more than $150,000 raised on kickstarter, our community championed this epic from a meme to a graphic novel, now paving the way for a major motion picture. It's all thanks to YOU!
