My best friend, an NYU film school graduate in student debt, is trying to raise funding for his short film.

As I learn more about shorts, it's clear this medium has practically 0 commercial opportunity. 

Which makes funding extremely difficult. 

The film is being supported by a non-profit which make donations eligible for a write off. 

Beyond that, the incentives in this space are terrible. 

I find it crazy that in this new era of short form video content, there's no marketplace for well produced narrative story telling. 

I wonder if an onchain strategy could be a solution?

To portray the passions of people is to reveal them.

That's what we will do. New project 🔜

Yea that was my thought too. Even a platform like letterboxd could make sense if they wanted to do some streaming.

Totally agree. I’ve been saying this for years. Like, why not have a hub on any streamer that is just for short films or indie films?

I fear the Greeks even when bringing gifts
