Hi , I came up with an idea / concept for a project some months back and started doing a feasabillity study. The publishing and production - not as tough as expected. Distribution- the make it or break it. Legal-a little confusing. Protecting the idea until copy righted- problem.
One of the major hurdles is finding the right models and doing so while protecting the concept.
So hypothetically if you wanted to find a Clint Eastwood look alike to pose in a pink ballet suit doing a piruet or a Hillary Clinton look alike to pose in a hooker outfit soliciting Korean officials , who ya gonna call?
BTW ..no I'm not thinking about a porno project!

You see this all the time in business. Just draft an NDA (non-disclosure agreement) This will give you some recourse if the idea is co-opted but mostly it just sets the expectation with anyone you talk to that this is your idea and you expect them not to discuss it.

It's been a while since this was posted but I thought I would suggest you look into the local alternative news publication.

Most major cities have them - they typically cater to the artists, musicians, alternative lifestyles, night-life, and truly indept coverage of the news that many newspapers can't cover. You can easily buy a small classified ad looking for models and specify what you're looking for.
