RE: Please Advise me: how can a successful film director use blockchain and social media to raise finance and/or seed interest for the next film?
Not really, you are just begging people for money and tying it to some blind promise.
You could however blog the filmmaking process here and earn some while making it.
No the idea was ABSOULUTELY NOT to be begging people for money. I was thinking more in terms of an ICO linked so some of the film's profit in some way. My intuition is there is a cryptocurrency/ICO way to do this but I want to find a real use for the blockchain in doing it. I think there is one and hoped the community might help me alight on some ideas for doing so (and skills to help make it happen if we decided to)
PS @shaz your idea about blogging about the film's process might be good. what sort of things would you like to know about it?
Well I also have some experince in production and have found out that people who have never been involved in the process don't actually understand how movies are made.
Show some sets and maybe even describe some chaos which always reaches the set. How to turn shit into gold, teach Steemit how movie magic is made.
OK cool - thank you for that. Helpful ideas.
I just think that it might be easier to find funding for your film through more conventional means, tying it with a coin might just take too much effort and you risk wasting a lot of your time.
OK thanks you may well be right. I just thought I'd explore the idea. If we did use it wouldn't be for the whole funding but just a part. I'm very interested in blockchain use cases and one of the challenges is to work out when not to use blockchain but to use conventional methods - so even if this is the conclusion I will have learnt a lot from the interaction with people like you. So thank you for your input - much appreciated. If anyone else chimes in please do add further to the discussion.
