On Helios Horizons Ep.31, we're joined by Robbie Shillstone, an animator and filmmaker who has seamlessly transitioned into using Web3 technology to unlock new creative opportunties. 

Robbie shares his journey from shooting short films with top jazz musicians in New York to gaining prominence on social media during the pandemic. A collaboration with Method Man from the Wu-Tang Clan opened doors to the world of NFTs, offering listeners a unique glimpse into the intersection of music, art, and technology.

Robbie recounted the challenges (and successes) of using NFTs to create animated sequences and short films, ultimately leading to success at prominent film festivals. Robbie discusses the potential of building a sustainable storytelling engine that invites community involvement and considers the dynamics of NFT crowdfunding.

Robbie envisions Web3 redefining fan engagement and patronage in the creative arts. Instead of traditional models like Patreon, Robbie envisions a more rewarding experience for fans who invest in creators, offering premium returns and inclusive storytelling - embodied through Publique - a project designed to captivate and involve the audience with weekly character auctions and immersive world design.
