SXSW 2021
Blockchain For Filmmakers & Increasing Connection
Description:
200,000+ filmmakers are in the Facebook group "Protect Yourself from Distribber & Predatory Film Aggregators". Besides the sad fact that sales revenues for Independent Filmmakers are at an all-time low, there is a disconnect between filmmakers and their viewers when audiences watch on platforms. With the rise of blockchain and cryptocurrencies, the future for digital content is a decentralized network that allows for global connectivity, full transparency, and no more reliance on distributors pitching your film to major platforms in order to reach audiences. Documentarian, Brooke Bierhaus (Director & Creator of the feature-film "The Connected Cup" that uncovers the global language of coffee and tea as human connectors), spurred this innovation after years of frustration in the industry.
