Brileigh and Matthew sit down with Ser En Low and LC from The Shiba and the Whale. The Shiba and the Whale is the world’s first Doge anime produced by BAFTA winner Ser En in partnership with the Doge NFT and Dogecoin Foundation. In a world where climate change has forced everyone to go to the moon, a Shiba is struck and meets a lonely whale who agrees to get her across the open sea to the last rocket leaving the blue planet. In this episode, we talk about LC and Ser En’s background and discovering crypto, what the Doge community is all about, and how they’re using Juicebox’s latest NFT feature to fund their film, the Shiba and the Whale.
