How can Web3 revolutionize the production of TV shows like those you see on Netflix and shape the future of the entertainment industry?

Web3 technology has the potential to revolutionize the way TV shows are produced and distributed. Youssef Drissi is a true pioneer in the world of Web3 entrepreneurship, having created the first-ever animated NFT TV show, "The Red Ape Family," featuring characters from the Bored Ape Yacht Club collection. The show, which currently consists of 3 episodes, streams on both YouTube and AppleTV.

In this conversation, we explore how Youssef came up with the idea for "The Red Ape Family," and how he built it without any previous experience in the entertainment industry.

We go over lessons learned and practical tips and advice for builders in Web3 including how he secured partnerships with top brands and personalities, such as 2Chainz, Diesel, and AppleTV, how to hire the right team, and how he leveraged his community to produce and distribute the show.

During the episode, we also cover the differences between an NFT TV show and conventional TV shows, and the specific considerations for building a project in Web3 during a bear market. This episode is a must-watch for anyone looking to create their own project in the Web3 space and seeking to understand the future of the entertainment industry.
