In this episode, Nellie Akalp, CEO of CorpNet, breaks down the essential legal foundations every filmmaker must understand before stepping onto set. From LLCs to liability protection, she reveals why treating your film like a real business isn’t optional—it’s survival. As the conversation unfolds, the deeper truth emerges: filmmaking isn’t just art—it’s structure, protection, and strategy. Nellie explains why each film should be its own entity, how to avoid costly legal mistakes, and what most indie filmmakers get completely wrong when starting out. This isn’t about paperwork—it’s about protecting your vision, your team, and your future in the industry.
