One of our motivations in making a film via Web3 is the independence we get from the studio system. This enables us to do things that are otherwise untenable - including implementing green initiatives into our entire filmmaking process. That means new solutions to old problems, like building sets and props to last instead of getting scrapped after a shoot. But it also means finding solutions to new problems. Climate change is already creating significant societal and natural changes in our world - including where we are based in the Pacific Northwest. Since we are choosing to pursue independence via Web3 & NFTs, we believe it is important that we consider the impacts of launching a project that relies on and benefits from this network. As many already know, the energy usage of the Ethereum network (pre-merge) is non-trivial. We are confident that the long-term energy use of Ethereum will drop significantly after it converts to Proof of Stake but, in the meantime, it's important that we consider the environmental impact of our project.

I believe web3 is going to upend the indie film industry. And I believe the movement will be led by filmmakers.
