We are revolutionising the African and Middle Eastern film industry by using blockchain technologies to finance films. Our system enables us to tokenise IP assets & democratise funding. Join us in this groundbreaking journey!
Challenges facing filmmakers from these regions:
Funding difficulties
Filmmakers often struggle to acquire funding to support their films.
The lack of transparency with centralised film funding means funds circulate in a small circle.
Limited distribution networks
The film industry in Africa and the Middle East faces many obstacles, including a lack of infrastructure and limited distribution networks.
Low budgets
With limited funding, filmmakers have to work with smaller budgets, which can impact film quality and it's future potential.
Why do we need a DAO
The film industry is one of the largest industries in the world. It employs hundreds of thousands of people and generates billions of dollars in revenue annually. However, for too long, the film industry has been controlled by a small group of legacy studios and distributors that have monetised every aspect of the production, from the actors and directors to the marketing and distribution. This has resulted in a system where the creators and the writers are left with little to no compensation, while the studios and distributors continue to reap the profits.
The lack of control and power is one of the greatest issues facing the film industry today. The filmmakers of today must unite with tech visionaries, investors and the creators of tomorrow to change the industry for the better.
Africa is the continent with the second biggest population, with not enough African and Middle Eastern content being created to service the market.
African and Middle Eastern filmmakers, investors and community have a chance to create a new paradigm in filmmaking through the use of the African Film DAO. It provides filmmakers with a chance to create authentic films. The platform provides filmmakers with a chance to create films that are written and directed by the most talented and marginalised creators in the world. Filmmakers have a chance to unite to create films that are profitable, but also have a greater impact on the world at large, and feed audience need.
