Hello, Hello! 

 

A few corrections from episode 364:

  • Charlton Heston was in Ben Hur - but not as a primary actor. He was in a scene in which he rode a horse. 
  • Our social media handle on Instagram and X are @_makeitpodcast (not @themakeitpodcast). However, you can find us at www.themakeitpodcast.com

 

In this episode, Chris and Nick discuss blockchain technology and its potential applications in the film industry with Chris J. Davis, Co-Founder and CTO of Film.io.

 

We also talk about… 

 

  • Chris J. Davis explains his vision for using blockchain to democratize film financing and distribution by bringing fans, creators, and investors together on one platform.
  • The conversation explores the history of blockchain in film, including the first movie released and purchased with cryptocurrency.
  • Potential future applications of NFTs and smart contracts for additional content, rewards programs, and independent verification of project support are discussed.
  • Challenges of regaining public trust after past blockchain hype and issues are addressed.
  • Possibilities that major studios like Disney may adopt blockchain-based models to enhance fan engagement and monetization of ancillary content are considered. 
  • And, an all-new Things We Should Know from Producer Papa Bear.

 

Enjoy!
