Can't see why not, bitcoin is money but I would think if you are looking to create a movie you will need a script and various other bits and pieces in place before getting to the funding stage.

There must be a system in place where you can put yourself down on a list or join some kind of funding group where people would approach you for funding?

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?

Why not if a reputable guy from the hollywood would put up a fund raising, there was an ico thread in the altcoin section that runs  an ico to fund Bitcoin movie, but it's a no go for everybody, the guy is a newbie and he do not know how to run a production and he is a nobody in the Hollywood that  is why it dies a natural death just like all the other scam ico

It's a fantastic idea, making movies is something that not everyone can do. But there is the pleasure of ourself when the film we make can be success to make people happy to watch it. The process of making movies is not going to be easy, and most important of all is the financial support, I personally think we can certainly get the funds to make a movie from bitcoin, provided we are really focused and serious in raising funds, but if we feel A little difficult to get the funds, we can work with people who have a lot of money to participate in making movies. We should be able to convince him that the film we make will be successful in the market.

Yeah it is possible to find contributors for a bitcoin centered movie/documentary, Life on Bitcoin documentary was funded through Kickstarter, 247 backers contributed $72,995, awesome concept and executed very well, https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bitcoinlife/life-on-bitcoin-a-documentary-film

Another Bitcoin movie related project on Indiegogo, a flexible budget of $1.5 million, but failed, raised only $8, the concept sucks,
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-bitcoin-movie

Right now, documentaries are one of the best medium to convey the concept of bitcoin. Bitcoin: The End of Money As We Know It, The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin, Banking on Bitcoin are some of the best bitcoin documentaries. Something on these grounds, but still unique would get some funding from bitcoin enthusiasts.

A $10 million budget sounds like a commercial movie. Even it would be difficult to raise such an amount through crowdfunding platforms for a movie. Investing in movies is risky, some people invest to support artistic freedom or they support the concept of that movie or the obvious reason, to get a good profit on their investment.

It is possible. But before running around and asking for funds to need to show something to the investors like story line and other stuffs. No one is going to invest on empty vessels. They need guarantee and security of their investments. Also make sure your crews are fine with getting paid in bitcoin or ether.

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

Should totally be possible, just depends if the director is willing to take the risk, the bitcoin in that movie may make the budget rise and fall and most directors aren't willing to take the risk, this also raises the question of how product placement would work in this movie, would the product that is being advertising have to pay in bitcoin or would normal fiat currency. I think that forcing the people who want their product to be advertised to pay for the advertisement using bitcoin would be a good idea but could backfire. Imagine a new kickstarter project with the title "funding a movie with bitcoin", i am pretty sure a lot of people will be interested in watching that.

PS: what would the movie be?

Well, it is possible to fund all things with BTC, and movie too. You just need to find investors, that will be interested in it (your movie must be really profitable)

But BTC is risky thing.

A movie funded by Bitcoin? Sounds interesting and a lot of fun involved in it. But then don't you think that 10 million $(if that's what you mean by 10 MM $) is too much for a starter movie. And keep a list of pro's and con's when you do such thing ,you should know everything required to film a movie. Hire some investors for such a work ,but good Luck finding someone who will invest such a big amount that too using bitcoin. I wish you luck for your future endeavors.

How you can say that bitcoin is a risky thing? I mean why you are saying that bitcoin is a risky thing. Bitcoin is very important and trusted currency it has change the life of people and still you are saying that it is risky if you are interesting to get extra money very fast. So go and search all the market you will never find a thing like bitcoin. Because bitcoin is trusted.

It would be possible if and only if an American star plays role in the movie and he/she confirms this.

it is possible, from the finance sector we alreadynsee them investing on bitcoin so why not from the entertainment industry, actors may already been using them without going out to the public, hollywood is not an exception, for all we know, actors are already investing in bitcoin, and they prefer to be paid by bitcoin rather than fiat.

You can basically "fund" anything with Bitcoin at this point (by converting to fiat first), but if you are meaning to directly pay all parties that would be involved in production with Bitcoin, that would be far more difficult.

A lot of people in the industries have certain quotas that need to be met, so paying them in a fluctuating currency, wouldn't be the most effective way to get the job done.

For me it's probably because bitcoin is able to finance the movie, and also the richest currency bitcoin

It would be great to make a film about the bitcoin itself, financed by the bitcoins. It would be a documentary and feature film about the creators of bitcoin, ravitia ... It would be very interesting, and it would be an excellent tool for the popularization of bitcoin. Of course, the reality is severe, and you would face many legal and financial difficulties, but the idea is very interesting!

It is probably possible to fund a movie using bitcoin, as long as there's enough budget allotted to create the movie. There will be enough budget if the investors will provide enough money in (btc) investing their money to produce a film.

I think that's possible.We can see that to produce a movie there is not much money needed that btc can't fund that.You have to just find the investors who want to invest his/her btc to a movie literally there's everything possible with bitcoin

I think it's possible to fund a movie using just bitcoin i mean so far bitcoin gained its popularity so i'm sure that there are investor who are interested to invest. I read an article once that there are a building in dubai that is now under construction this buildinh is funded by only bitcoin there are a lot of investor now interested in bitcoin so i'm sure that is really possible.
