Funding a movie with Bitcoin possible?

[cryt3k]

Probably possible. If you don't have enough money then invite more people to invest in bitcoin. And, make a best film in your budget and get profits. Nothing is impossible in these days, there is a possibility for any thing.

Would it be possible to fund a reasonable budget movie (say $10MM) via BTC or Ether?

What do you think would be required to get enough interested contributors including some whales?

I think 10mm $ is a  really big amount , so I am thinking that it would not be easy for anyone to make payment with the Bitcoin amount directly .
first of all he needs the legalisation rules should be followed by them because if one person will give payment with the Bitcoin then he need to follow all.the rules otherwise it will be called as the black money or secret payment .
So here possibilities are many but to do the same work with fully safely then we need  to go through the any types of the formalities .
Well this types of the payment in big industries will results into the good and better future of the Bitcoin .

Funding a movie with bitcoin is a good idea. I also think Hollywood should make a movie on bitcoin and the New World and it should be funded with bitcoin only making it a truly bitcoin based movie. I know some day we shall see this idea becoming a reality.

Well why not, right? Bitcoin or ETH has a value so it can totally fund a movie. But it would be great if the movie would be about Satoshi and Bitcoin right? That would be a hit and would even give a great publicity. If the producer itself would invest Bitcoin in the movie then it is his decision. But theoretically, it is highly possible to fund a movie using Bitcoin.

Do you mean the community will fund the movie? If ever the movie will assure to give a huge ROI then it is possible.

[LodisMcguire]

Yes it can be done,but making a movie need a long time and the crypto price is very volatile
Director don't want to take risk in that,so in term of making movie,using fiat is more convenient

[coinsmanager]

If it is a movie in the context of Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies and related technologies, you have a good chance of getting funding. But you would also need a very good script.

[Hydrogen]

Its definitely possible with a straight to DVD movie. Or one of those fan made films that stream for free on youtube. It might even be possible to get Kevin Sorbo or another somewhat name actor if the movie is for a good cause or attracts the right kind of attention.

Don't think that you need money or crypto to make a movie. There are a lot of volunteer based budget projects out there that worked with little funding and few resources that managed to do decent work.

I just hate your guts OP so much, from the next week we'll start to see [ICO] the best one on the planet, buy your share of the next movie
Not that there isn't something called ETH with unlimited capacity to host even millions of these movies ICOs. could I reserve the rights for any future attempt on launching an ICO for making the best story porn movie ever?
I'd like to use this rare opportunity and invite Franky1 to this movie for acting as the used co*dom on the floor which is not even completely shown on the screen just very blur corner of it

I think that's possible. The only problem is it takes a long time to explain "what is BTC and ETh" to the parties involved in filming. Not to mention the price of BTC and ETH that fluctuate, so that the funds that have been saved can go down or up. Very risky.

[Adbitco]

If all the people involved in movie making agree to accept bitcoin as their remuneration and if all the other necessary things required in movie making are made available for bitcoin then it's possible. Actually, I don't think if it would be different from funding a movie with USD or any other fiat currency the only condition is that bitcoin has to be accepted by everyone like actors, actresses, directors, technicians etc.

I really like the idea, but I think not all people wanted to be paid using Bitcoin or ether, and not all people is fond of crypto currencies, I think there are too much things can't be used for supporting the making of the movie
I think to pump Bitcoin popularity, the Hollywood people could make a movie about Bitcoin

[gabbie2010]

There are two options to solve this problem it is either those involved  in the movie, directors ,actor, actresses, are paid with bitcoin while the other option is to change or convert the bitcoin to fiat currency which may be a little cumbersome as regards the huge amount of bitcoin involved. therefore it is very possible to fund a movie with bitcoin.

Whales want money and or power, I guess it more often than not depends on what they're willing to trade for one or the other. As for getting whales involved in funding a movie with a $10M USD budget, you're looking at mostly anything that would get them money, and a fair amount of it, as a return from funding whatever it would be that's in mind. Given that it's a large sum that would be put forward, there are a lot of guarantees that whales would be seeking, and likely a lot of money back from their investment.

Whales will definitely put money in it if they saw that's is gonna be a win-win situation for them and for the bitcoin economy. They are all about the money and I believed they will see a good returns if they invested in this kind of project.

Yes, it would not be different, they just have to accepted bitcoin as payment. However, another option is just to convert it to fiat if those involved don't want to get bitcoin as salary.

[oegarod]

Funding a movie with bitcoin is possible and all depends upon the knowledge and the acceptance the persons provide who are involved into the movie making. In the past there are few movies where we can see people using bitcoin into stores. Something specific about bitcoin is not described clearly in any of the movies.

It is possible, but a movie usually has more than 100 people working on it from the star actors to support staff and technicians and the directors of course, so I don't see how all of them would be interested in accepting their wages in crypto, so maybe you just install a crypto ATM nearby and give the option of cashing out their coins.
But I'd say better option would be to just cash out the coins yourself and then fund the movie with the money, it will make it a lot simpler.

[shimbark123]

Dude bitcoin and ether can become a country's currency with the exchange or sellijg to those people that wanted a bitcoin. Which means it is possible funding a movie with bitcoin or even ether. You just need to have some exchanger or someone that wants bitcoin for their money.

[Lorilikes]

If the crew would be able to accept it and all was disclosed from the start than sure, Bitcoin would be a great way to fund a movie for sure.

Or maybe produce an independent film where your resources would be much smaller, hence the need for a smaller number of people working and lesser equipment to be used. The real problem here is not really in funding it but on how to market it. Even if you have a good movie but you can't market it properly to your target audience, chances are the bitcoin used for producing it would rake very small profits in return. But it is always nice to keep dreaming and hoping that these things become a possibility for those aspiring for such.
