Legion Insider #037
As a community of filmmakers and fans, the tragic loss of Halyna Hutchins, our Director of Photography from Archenemy, is unthinkable. Thank you to all who have already contributed to the various funds that have been setup in her name. We would like to highlight AFI’s “Halyna Hutchins Memorial Scholarship Fund,” which we have been told is the one her family would like to focus on. If you would like to contribute, you can do so at AFI - Halyna Hutchins Memorial Scholarship Fund.

See You Soon, LACC
We’re gearing up for the triumphant return of Los Angeles Comic Con, one of our favorites. If you’ve been to our LACC booth before, you know we like to go BIG (last time we built a life-size Quick Stop facade in the middle of the convention center). We’ve got a lot of fun installations planned this year, so if you plan to attend LACC come drop by the Legion M booth and say hello!
NYCC 2021 Rewind
It’s hard to put into words just how grateful we were to be back in person at NYCC. We loved getting to see so many familiar faces and meet new members of the community. We also hosted an epic panel, featuring Batman exec producer (and Darknights & Daydreams star) Michael Uslan, acclaimed game creator/performer Satine Phoenix, Broadway legend Bob Nederlander, and the cast of The Man In The White Van (Sean Astin, Madison Wolfe, Brec Bassinger, and director Warren Skeels). Check out the talk with the cast & creatives behind The Man In The White Van.
