In February 2021, Hidden Ones released Zach’s directorial debut He Who Lives In Hidden Lakes. It was the first feature film ever released as an #NFT. Hidden Ones now has a full-fledged film franchise with an NFT ecosystem that gives token-gated access to Hidden Ones' podcasts, web series, comics, shorts, & more content In their whitepaper Hidden Ones outline how they intend to fully decentralize their IP to NFT holders and become a legacy brand of the #web3 + AI era of entertainment. They aim to achieve this in two ways: 1. Providing broad audiences with fresh, unique, entertaining, and visionary supernatural myths in a robust new story world. 2. Providing creators with an open-source platform to elevate their work in this story world, cut through the noise, and bypass the gatekeepers of the legacy entertainment world They walk the walk, to use a saying of our time ~~~~~~~~~ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intros Round 3:32 Hello Zack 4:20 Hello Anthony 4:35 Why Web3 For Filmmaking? 5:20 Crypto Cryptids? 6:20 NFT Distribution 7:51 1/1 IP Ownership 9:09 Folklore Storytelling 12:16 Thinking About Web3 Community 15:26 Test, Iteration, Pivot, Progress 19:28 Personal Fandom 20:10 What's In It For The Creator? 23:51 How Do You Keep Film3 Community Excited? 24:47 AI Podcast Interlude 27:27 Development Pipelines 30:44 Licensing IP 34:01 Fanfiction & Fun 37:10 Storyblocks 39:20 Decentralized IP Fairy tales 42:28 Web3 Skillsets 48:07 Closing Thoughts ~~~~~~~~~ ABOUT ZACH AND ANTHONY Zach is an award-winning film director, fine artist, & web3 thought leader with a background in software product design.
