What is decentralized pictures?

decentralized pictures (DCP) is a 501c(3) nonprofit organization seeking to discover new and innovative filmmaking talent. We run a democratic film fund that allows our online community of creatives, film fans, and industry professionals to decide who is most deserving of our support. Submit your film idea, and if the world loves it, we’ll help you make it.

DCP was co-founded by American Zoetrope (The Godfather Trilogy, Lost in Translation), the independent film company started by Francis Ford Coppola and George Lucas in 1969 and now run by Roman, Sofia, and Gia Coppola.  Through our partnership Zoetrope provides access to a network of film industry luminaries to help guide and support the projects DCP finances.  Our goal is twofold: to provide access to Hollywood financing aspiring and first-time filmmakers need, and introduce you to the people who will help you execute it in a professional way. 

As a nonprofit organization, DCP opens up the film financing world to a daring and passionate new generation of filmmakers and filmgoers, wherever they may be. To express our approach to accomplishing this important mission we have created the first version of The Declaration of Independent Film. We encourage the community to make suggestions and improvements to this approach as the ecosystem matures.  DCP strives to empower the community to choose which films get made, effectively creating new keys into the industry which have historically been held by the gatekeepers of Hollywood. 

By using blockchain technology and Decentralized Pictures FILMCredits also referred to as Decentralized Pictures FILMCoins, our unique digital currency, DCP creates a transparent curation platform and autonomous rewards system in which every participant is accountable to the network.  With smart contracts built on a blockchain, DCP delivers a level of trust and transparency never before seen in the film industry.  Contributors on our platform may submit and review content as members of a global network and be rewarded for their merit. 

history

DCP is co-founded by American Zoetrope, the independent film company started by Francis Ford Coppola and George Lucas in 1969 and now run by Roman, Sofia, and Gia Coppola.  Zoetrope films have received fifteen Academy Awards, sixty-eight nominations, and many other prestigious accolades.  Four Zoetrope-produced films were included in the American Film Institute's top 100 American films. 

American Zoetrope has constantly embraced the creative possibilities of technology, and is known for orchestrating alternative approaches to filmmaking.  AZ continues to build on its rich film history and legendary standards of quality from its headquarters, the historic Sentinel Building in San Francisco's North Beach neighborhood.  DCP is an extension of this ethos, using the cutting-edge technology of today to power the aspirations of Zoetrope’s original inception.  Check out the video below for a more in-depth understanding of American Zoetrope, and its founding community of filmmakers.
