MoviToken's cryptocurrency goal is to make the days of “deferred” and “low/no pay” agreements within the film community, a thing of the past. Producers can remunerate crew and talent in MoviTokens, where fiat cash is unavailable or limited. In essence, they can finance the movies on the Ethereum Blockchain. Cast/Crew can change the MoviTokens for Ethereum (ETH) later, and then from ETH to US Dollars, BTC or any other altcoin, fiat currency or token by making use of various dApps and exchanges that interact with the Ethereum blockchain.

The Blockchain Advantage

MoviToken is a blockchain tradeable complementary currency that’s designed to be used within the independent film community for the purpose of film, web series, TV, documentary productions and so on. MoviToken can be used alongside or together with any fiat currency in the world where it is legal to use such complementary currency.

The Problems Of The Film Industry

In the film production environment of today, demands from distributors, viewers and studios continue to rise, while budgets are tightening.
In the early 2000s, there were three categories of movies being made in Hollywood: 1) genre and specialty films made by true indie producers and studios, 2) big-budget blockbusters and 3) art films, specialty films and niche-market films produced by conglomerate-owned Indies. The first category constitutes over half the features released in the United States and typically cost between $5-10 million to produce.
The average budget for a dramatic feature film in 2017 according to the Sundance Institute was $1 million, for documentary features, it was $400,000. (Budget figures based on interviews with sales agents and producers by Sundance).

The True Reality

In reality, there is reduced dollars available for everyone, which means many financially constrained members of the industry seldom have a chance to compete for a career- some will never have a career, leaving the industry after years without success. Those that have great ambition; actors, crew and filmmakers chase after these dreams with their own money, financing their personal careers by making sacrifices that sometimes means overlooking payment for their services. A lot of filmmakers world over produce features for less than $10,000 just to “put something out there”. No single person gets remunerated, every penny goes into the production.
MoviToken intends to revolutionize independent film production by placing it on Ethereum blockchain. There are lots of creative and talented voices across the globe who have now been provided with a good opportunity to have a career in the film industry, simply by utilizing the use of MoviToken on their projects and accepting it for their services.

MY OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS

Accessing funds to produce a feature film, web series, TV pilot, an award winning short film, profound documentary etc. is becoming more and more strenuous. MoviToken aims to revolutionize and reform this process for all filmmakers by providing a continuously liquid alternative currency at hand.
MoviToken can allow new names and faces to succeed in a very centralized, closed industry. Where cash is scarce, MoviToken can promote stronger content, providing viewers and distributors with improved, higher quality options, because talented people can finally be provided an opportunity.
Independent filmmakers have been the benefactors of many revolutionizing changes in recent history, with the adoption of HD and Digital filmmaking overtaking film/celluloid as the preferred medium, affordable camera gear being brought to the masses. Platforms such as IndieGoGo and Kickstarter have changed the game for independent filmmaking by bringing crowdfunding to the table. Now, MoviToken affords independent filmmakers and aspiring actors and cinematographers the chance to produce the content they’ve dreamed of. MoviToken is opportunity.
