A New Era in Film Production
The Arbitrum Foundation, known for supporting the Ethereum scaling solution, is taking a bold step into the future of film financing and production. They have announced their latest project, a feature film about the captivating world of cryptocurrency, aptly named “New Here.” This venture is spearheaded by none other than Shane Boris, an Oscar-winning film producer whose recent accolade for Best Documentary Feature has put him in the spotlight.
The Vision of “New Here”
Produced in collaboration with Dpop studios, a media company with a keen interest in crypto, “New Here” aims to delve into the intricacies of digital art from the perspective of a newcomer. The journey into the crypto rabbit hole is set to be a fascinating exploration of NFTs and digital creation, as seen through the eyes of those new to the space. Boris, fresh from his success with the documentary “Navalny,” is eager to embark on this new project, expressing his excitement about diving deeper into the world of NFT artists and the boundless opportunities that this new mode of creation holds.
Redefining Creative Boundaries
Boris’s ambition with “New Here” goes beyond merely showcasing digital art and its creators. He envisions a film that experiments with creative modalities, storytelling structures, and novel ways to engage and develop audiences. By exploring these diverse approaches, Boris aims to push the boundaries of traditional filmmaking, suggesting a future where the medium evolves to match the innovative stories it seeks to tell.
Crypto: Revolutionizing Film Financing
Blockchain technology has already begun to transform the creative arts, offering new distribution and financing methods. From musicians to visual artists, the crypto space has enabled creators to sell their work as NFTs, thereby opening up new avenues for funding and audience engagement. Films like “Calladita” and initiatives by Decentralized Pictures Foundation highlight the growing trend of crypto-funded projects, indicating a future where blockchain could play a significant role in the arts and beyond.
With “New Here,” Shane Boris and the Arbitrum Foundation are not just creating a film; they are pioneering a new approach to storytelling and production in the digital age. As the boundaries between technology and art continue to blur, projects like these pave the way for a new chapter in the evolution of cinema.
