[ANN] FIRST Feature-length Documentary on Bitcoin, 100% BITCOIN FUNDED!

[Spekulatius]

Hi,

We are planning on releasing in November, when our main character will host his own Bitcoin Conference in the UK (as it stands).
This will be the release event as well.

We have finished the largest part of our expert interviews but will conduct more till November and also keep following our main story with the camera.

Im sorry that I didnt communicate more frequently in the past and probably will not have the time to post as much as I would like to either 
We are all students after all and our uni keeps us busy on top of filming and editing.

I was just about to upload some pictures from some prior shoots, but it seems our site https://bitcointhedocumentary.org is experiencing a down time atm, I already wrote to the hosting company and will call them tomorrow, so that I can give something back to you guys at least to show you that we have been busy.

We are entering post production right now and edit the parts that we have already filmed to parrallel the work flow.
Hope I can present some visuals to you guys soon!

Thx to all of our donors so far!

I am proud to announce the first feature-length documentary that will focus entirely on BITCOIN!

Along side captivating interviews from celebrities and experts around the Bitcoin scene from all around the globe, external experts from the fields of law, politics or science will also talk about Bitcoin and what it could mean for society, economy and the World! The only thing we need right now are Donations!

Its gonna be the first Bitcoin Documentary and it will be 100% Bitcoin funded! All donations will come from supporters and sponsors in the form of Bitcoin.
We are in the talks with a major supplier of BTC chargable debit cards, that will enable us to spend ALL neccessary expenses that CANNOT be spent in BTC, WITH BTC! Instead of paying with EUR or USD, we can just top up our account with donations in the form of Bitcoin and say: "Hey, you dont take Bitcoin? Here, take my Debit card instead. Its a Bitcoin card!"

On top of that, this project aims to be as open and transparent as possible. Everyone that has a good idea for an interview or how to make the movie/site/planning better is encouraged to take part! We will account for all the expenses in our blog, post current pictures and videos from the sets and turn this whole movie into a full fledged crowd funded, crowd sourced project of the Bitcoin Community!

First interviews have already been arranged with the owners of Bitcoin.de, Germany's largest Bitcoin exchange as well as privacy experts Frank Braun and Jonathan Logan from shadowlife.cc and conducted with Trace Mayer, among others. We are in the talks with many more parties and also focus on Experts opposed to Bitcoin, because no good movie goes without good a conflict!

Why aren't phone boxes there blue anymore?

You are thinking police boxes / time machines. Phone booths, for making calls, have always been red. Police boxes, for sticking criminals/timelords into while waiting for the police/daleks to arrive have always been blue. Except or the weird places where they have sometimes been red, but no one talks about that place.

seeing no updates on your site since may made me worried.
how are you guys doing?

[Spekulatius]

Hi,

Sorry for the abysmal communication on my end
We have kept our uni intern dead line recently and handed in a 50 min version of the movie with some interviews but excluding the story plot and animations. We actually received mark 1.0 which is the best possible result from our professor who is in charge of the local Media Production Institute,  so I guess we are on the right track .

I would like to let everybody know that work on this movie has been going on constantly during the beginning of March and is nearing completion as far as interviews and following our main character's storyline go. I would have liked to post more of our material but have been very busy with my academic duties as well as organizing and executing this project throughout the year. Nevertheless, we have lined up 2 more interview trips this year: The first one will take us to the London Bitcoin Expo 2013, where we will be filming the preparations and expo that our main character is organizing (have you guessed yet who it is.. ) and seize the occasion to interview some of the celebrities and their projects there, such as Richard Stallman or the Trezor Guys. I hope to release some raw footage soon thereafter. The next trip in early December will take us to Switzerland, more on it when the time draws near. If you can make it, pls come and meet us in person!

[hlynur]

thanks for the update
can't wait to see some footage.
do you already have a planned release date? (i will add it on documentary thread)
perhaps you could set up an entry on imdb and omdb. (to create an in development title on imdb afaik you need a pro account, but it's not to expensive & the money would be worth it imo.)
good luck for the future of your project

Post production, including animations and finding the animators will take up 1 or 2 months at least, maybe the occasional interview here and there if things come up unexpectedly, so Im aiming for Spring 2014. I will narrow it down as things take more shape.

I really have to get on bringing the website up to speed and releasing some of the footage we have created so far. I was thinking of a members area for donors to access this exclusive digital content and the option just a little donation to see only one clip for example. To implement it the s2member plugin for wordpress seems to be the right fit. I just have to do it. I confess that I push it off again and again, so pls kick my ass occasionally
