Episode 10: Zero Contact – Movie NFT | Debrief

Hollywood is tapping into the non-fungible token market to create additional revenue streams. In September 2021, the science fiction movie ZERO CONTACT, top-billed by Anthony Hopkins, was released as the first film auctioned off as a full NFT. 

Key points covered in this episode:

The film is released via Vuele, an NFT platform. They hope to be the new model for the future of film distribution.

The future of the film business is on the blockchain. This could be a scenario in which theatrical releases or home entertainment are released as an NFT.

Zero Contact was produced in 17 different countries entirely virtually during the 2020 global pandemic. It is quite unbelievable to pull this off during a worldwide health emergency.

Independent filmmakers have taken hold over the years, but it’s still a $2 to 5 million upfront endeavor to be able to do a project. This film changes everything because you can raise the money for your movie as an NFT and then release it onto a blockchain. This is game-changing.

A similar project like the television show Stoner Cats is based on a game that has an ecosystem developed around it. People are spending time with this as another avenue where the blockchain and the NFT application will be fundamentally disruptive.

Distribution platforms for films should start paying attention and being hypersensitive to what’s happening in the space, and they should want to be at the forefront doing projects just like this.

Erik LaPaglia is an angel investor, voracious entrepreneur, and a founder of numerous successful companies in real estate, advertising, film production, consulting, and retail.
