INTRODUCING FILMGRID - DECENTRALIZATION OF FILM INDUSTRIES

What is FILMGRID? 

FILMGRID IS A PEER-TO-PEER SOLUTION FOR COMMERCE, STREAMING AND FINANCING OF INDEPENDENT FILMS AND SERIES OVER THE INTERNET.

Filmgrid's core ideal is to disrupt the movie industry in favor of the moviemaker, not the suit. Of rebel heart, its principles are the base for its business model design, decentralizing as many aspects of the movie industry as possible. The adoption of Blockchain technology will allow us to build an unstoppable application, that shares Filmgrid beliefs.

Filmgrid does not depend on a third party for production nor release decisions, it depends only and always on the users, placing the trust in the Blockchain; leaving intermediaries interests out of the equation.

And even though there are rules, no one controls it.

A MOVIE MARKETPLACE - {THE BILLBOARD}

For those moviemakers that have made a digital movie (and/or hold the copyright for it) and want to capitalize their project, we have the Billboard, a storefront for movies of all type, length, kind and style.

It's really simple, actually.

The moviemaker registers in Filmgrid as Creative Users, if the movie is a collaborative work, the involved Creative Users must form what is called a Creative Team, then upload to the Billboard the Movie; once in display, a Viewer User buys a digital copy of the Movie, and, through the application, the Movie can be downloaded or streamed and viewed as many times as the Viewer User decides.

A FUNDING PLATFORM BY POPULAR PARTICIPATION - {THE PITCHBOARD}

If there are Creatives with a cool movie project, or a very good idea for one, they can use Filmgrid's Pitchboard to fund it. All there is to do, is upload a description, an image, giff, teaser or trailer video and a budget to participate.

It's not quite crowdfunding, yet it relies on the crowd. There are three options to do so:

A Production Fund, where the crowd, in this case the platform users, will decide voting upon the catalog of projects in display on the Pitchboard which ones will get part(or total) of such fund. One or more projects may be funded in each round.

The fund will reset in cycles, all projects can participate as much as liked.


An old fashioned Presale, where the user can buy the movie before it is made, in order to support its Creative Users with the production of the project.

The patrons of the project will always be in control of the proper usage of the presale funds, according to the Creative Team's production plan.

The help of a Production Pool made by users that are interested in movie production.

These Investing Users get the opportunity to take part in the financing of the project, in exchange for a percentage of the profit generated by the product.

This way, the project is committed only to the Viewers, and never to movie moguls.

A CINEMA SOCIAL NETWORK... ish - {CRITIQUE BAY}

A Social Reputation System will provide the best quality control, delivered by the users themselves; rating Movies and Creative Users, bad quality or poor Movies won't make to the top, with the possibility of getting permanently banned.

Users can use reactions to interact with each other in the platform.

Since is a network, a connection channel gets open, where Creative Users can find key members for their crews, or find a crew where to contribute, and most important, learn from the Viewers feedbacks.

(Don’t worry, in purpose long boring movies won’t pass the Social Reputation System)

UTILITY TOKEN

To add value to the Filmgrid experience, the user is offered to buy the scoop of the film during the premiere sale, including the additional exclusive material; then we tranfer this value to the utility token Filmpass (FILM), since premiere film can only be bought with it.

The price for a movie during the Premiere Sale will be derminated by the Creative Team, since the value of the token may fluctuate and the length of the movie will variate, an honest assesment should be performed before pricing the movie.

TOKEN DISTRIBUTION

The token distribution will be divided in two phases, distributing 400,000,000 FILM tokens in each phase. 200,000,000 will be kept to be distributed among Filmgrid and the founding team. There will be a total supply of 1,000,000,000 FILM tokens.

We are looking to gather the needed funding for the different stages of the project development:

• STARTING UP. Get the project in business motion.
• MVP ON TOP OF ETHEREUM. Develop the DApp and Smart Contracts.
• FILMGRID PLATFORM. Developing the blockchain.
• PRODUCTION FUND. Initial amount for voted productions.
