American director Doug Carr is working on creating a new series "HardFork", which tells about the anti-utopian future, where everything is built on crypto-currencies and augmented reality. Funds for the production of a multi-series film are collected exclusively in the crypto currency, Forbes reports.
"HardFork" - the first of its kind project, supported by the new model. For the initial funding and promotion of our venture, the Steemit platform was the obvious choice, it was here that we collected the initial funds for launching the campaign at $ 30,000, "Carr said.
According to the plot of the series, a group of rogue with the help of blockchain technology hacks government systems and makes centralized control impossible. In November, a video was presented at the annual Steemit conference in Lisbon.
"In Lisbon, we met with people who have been following the project for several months and are waiting for the first episodes to be released with the same impatience as we do. The new way of raising funds has allowed us not only to get money for the development of the project, but also to gather around ourselves the target audience. And this is the main dream of every rental company: for the default movies to have a viewer, "Carr explained.
In December, the initiative team of Dash users invested about $ 1 million in HardFork, so the initial stage for the series was completed and the project moved into the phase of active preparation for launch.
"With such an incentive, it was easy to begin with, and I've never done the first steps so soon. Film studios usually slow down the process, but the crypto community is moving forward at breakneck speed, "Carr said.
The team of the creators of the series consists of experts in the field of blockchain, analysts of the crypto-currency market, participants in the Sundance film festival and Hollywood actors. All of them have teamed up to create a high-end science-fiction thriller that can be viewed both on the usual streaming video services such as Netflix and Amazon Prime, and on decentralized venues. In addition to the series, the game component is also foreseen - based on the technologies of augmented reality.
"HardFork" will allow you to learn more about technological progress in this area. In addition, we enlighten the viewer in an interesting and fascinating way, "added co-author of the idea of the series Eric Vance Walton.
