Since 2017, we’ve closely observed the ebb and flow of blockchain-based media projects—some launching with grand promises, facing rugged terrains, encountering supposed hacks, and eventually withering away on the blockchain-vine. However, the last two years have ushered in a remarkable resurgence of the media-meets-blockchain value proposition.

This renaissance has been punctuated by a powerful, albeit possibly paid-for, narrative of bringing back power to creators. Interestingly, the spotlight has shone brightly on animal JPEGs, a phenomenon made famous by celebrities and influencers. Many, we’re sure, now contemplate their involvement in promoting these digital collectibles.

Enter Film3—a paradigm shift for indie content creation. With a plethora of projects spanning individual films, decentralized intellectual property management tools, cooperative film studios, and collaboratively developed characters and narratives, it’s a dynamic landscape. If you can imagine it, chances are it’s already in the works. The ecosystem is a vibrant tapestry of ideas, populated by brilliant and creative minds dedicated to enhancing the entertainment industry.

This burgeoning movement is a testament to our resilience and determination as an entity striving to rectify what we perceive as the industry’s wrongs or even criminal treatment of artists. The decentralized nature of Film3 fosters collaboration, innovation, and a genuine commitment to improving the landscape for filmmakers.

As we navigate this exciting frontier, let’s celebrate the diversity of thought and the dedication of those working tirelessly to reshape the entertainment industry. The journey is far from over, but the momentum is undeniable, and Film3 stands as a beacon of hope for a more equitable and artist-friendly cinematic future.
