Is it possible to drain the Hollywood Swamp once you realize that it indeed exists?
For many people, this might raise a big question mark; however for those living in the Hollywood Swamp, it is just too real to ignore in many cases.
Yes, it seems there is such a swamp and it can’t nor will be drained by Trump or the congress. This apparently existing swamp bores deep in the Hollywood everglades of the mega rich, ruthless and very influential (Bog’s ogre) kingpins. Here’s a bird’s eye view over the ‘would be’ rot and stench of this seemingly colossal bog as well as a very effective way to pull the plug out and drain some of it or simply allow for more participation, profit sharing, accessibility and variety in the choice of content and making of TV shows and Movies.
We all know the merchandise the Hollywood Mega Industry literally inundates us with through everything from the TV & BOX office spectaculars to their XBOX gaming lore and sensationalist advertising, but nobody ever gets to read the product’s ingredient labels hidden under claimed mountains of deceit, hence this urge to expose it if this is in point of fact real! So as a contribution to the goal of simply unveiling truth wherever it can be unearthed, we have put together this overview which opens an interesting window on the matter while providing what we see as being a great solution to if not all, at least a substantial part of the suspected problem. We wish to remain as objective as possible in this discussion while just pointing out some of our observations.

The Deep Hollywood Swamp ‘Theory’
A trickery of accounting comes up as one of the elephants in the room. That’s when the film studio creates a separate “Film Corporation” for each production it makes and then charges the new corporation ridiculous fees/charges to totally siphon out the money and crash the corporation with millions in losses leaving everyone stranded neck deep in the bog.
A good example of this is the blockbuster film ‘Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix’ which raked in $938M and suffered a loss of $167M. So much for those who were duped into believing they would get a handsome cut off the profits. Warner Brothers more than just seemingly charged it’s (scapeGoat) corporation near $400M in upfront charges it paid to itself simply to insure the movie would lose money and go into the red. This is a denounced common practice in the Movie Industry and lawsuits are numerous. This is, in our opinion, quite a collection of substantiating evidence to support the theory with!
Film content funding is also said to be a barrier reef upon which the waves of would be successes relentlessly crash, since the main source of content funding comes with ‘strings attached’ while being near totally controlled end to end by Amazon and Netflix, highlighting a reality which comes as no surprise if true.
In brief, our view tends toward the assessment that; the ever powerful Mega Control of everything we see and hear coming from MSM and Hollywood is all controlled and agenda fitted where there is ZERO room for anyone else. This stance seems to be well anchored in the actual and “welded in” modus operandi of what we see, hear, buy and use in our everyday illusion filled realm of what we have come to perceive as being ‘reality’ when it is in our opinion, all a deception filled construct. There appears to be in this, a deep and covert political and corporate control mechanism which is dictating everything from social structure to public opinion which the top (probable 0.01%) doesn’t want to lose…

So where are the problem solvers? The closest one is in the mirror.... YOU!
Well, actually you need to be empowered to be so endowed, which is exactly what “The 21 Million Project” has set out to do.... Empower all of us to have another alternative to the enforced status quo of pre controlled content. The 21 Million Project a non-gender discriminant (non-sexist) and equal-pay approach to Television production and filmmaking content. In this initiative, everyone can contribute into funding and benefit from the success since assets ‘are’ the content, so everyone benefits from sales. There are royalties for perpetuity in which operations and costs are transparent thereby returning absolute fairness and trust.
So all in all, whether you agree with the former theory of a Hollywood swamp or not, the 21 million project is really a great initiative to boost independent content and give everyone a chance to do some real creating and make some coin in the process. We encourage readers to take a peek into it at https://www.21million.co.uk
Why making a TV Series on blockchain? The answers by the producers, directors and managers of the project:
The 21Million Project tells the ultimate story some don’t want to be told – the Bitcoin Revolution that offers new ways of running industries in a fair, transparent and open way.
Why creating a new Indy Media Production Company on the Ethereum Blockchain?
The 21 Million Project believes that creators, content owners and the talents should as creatives decide how the proceeds are being distributed on an open ledger for all to see. It’s as simple as returning trust and fairness via transparent costs and royalties.
Why should you consider to get involved with the 21 million project?
Here is how the future of screen finance production & distribution could look like
- Instead of producers, crew & creatives losing rights, profits and creative control to financiers, distributors and studios the 21 Million project is powered by YOU - the decentralized investor base participating in an ICO with as little as a few bucks on the Ethereum blockchain.
- All 21 Million project coin holders receive a fair daily rate no matter where the crew is shooting while all royalties are being “paid” at the same time to everybody.
- Diverse talent with ambition is getting a break and a chance to work and be uplifted alongside experienced hands which empowers both with new energy leading to a symbiotic creativity that is not clouded with “swamp effects”
We are not affiliated in any way with the 21 Million project other than that we embrace the idea and concept and that we plan to take advantage of today’s 25% early bird bonus which starts today.
The official ICO opens on June 12th.
May the worlds first bitcoin action thriller be as successful as the Game of Blockchains ;-)
