This week on TIFF Long Take, Rob and Geoff look into how blockchain technology and crypto currency could revolutionize the way that we finance and consume films. To guide them, the two welcome Luke Bradley, Director of Communications at the Blockchain Research Institute, as well as Christopher Woodrow, Chairman and CEO of MovieCoin.
Bradley discusses how blockchain and cryptocurrency our already impacting our day to day lives, how the technologies could theoretically upend the entertainment industry, and why Hollywood has, for the most part, been reluctant to get on board?
Woodrow then joins the conversation to talk about the inspiration behind MovieCoin, the types of films that MovieCoin will be funding, and what he thinks the film financing landscape could look like in ten years.
