Film Festivals need to enter Web3 like YESTERDAY.

I've submitted my film work to 67 film festivals - spending $2,8112.12 on entry fees.

DAMN. 😅

And I don't have a single NFT to show for it.

SMH.

Here's Why Filmmakers Should Die For "NFT Awards" From Film Festivals.

A 🧵:

My screenplays and short films were official selections at 15 festivals.

My reward for each selection was a PDF laurel like the one attached.

It's fantastic - sure.

But I've lost most of them.

I wish I had an NFT version of my film festival awards.

Here's why...

🔹 NFT Awards Provide Social Proof in a Digital World.

NFTs can prove your credibility.

They can be social proof of the things you've accomplished.

You can have NFTs of your:

• College Degree

• Medical License

• Yoga Teacher Training Certificate

• Awards

It can all be tokenized and showcased in your public wallet.

But I can hear the haters in the back...

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

To that, I'd say...

Film Festival Awards may not be broken, but they can be improved.

🔹 Physical / PDF Film Festival Awards come with a variety of problems:

• They can be lost or destroyed.

• They can be faked.

• There's no authentic way to showcase them online.

NFT awards fix a lot of those issues...

🔹 Here's why a Film Festival NFT is an excellent idea:

• Showcase your award in your wallet.

• NFTs are verifiable and impossible to fake (thanks to the blockchain).

• NFTs live forever (thanks again to the blockchain).

Taking this one step further...

NFTs allow Film Festivals to provide additional value to verified award winners, including:

• 15% off subsequent festival entries.

• Free or discounted physical merchandise.

• Token-gated access to exclusive content.

The utility options are endless.

Festival Award NFTs not only increase the value of the award but also elevate the film festival with increased filmmaker loyalty.

TLDR 👇🏼

Film Festival NFT Awards...

• Provide filmmakers with verifiable and indestructible social proof.

• Make it easy for festivals to provide value via token-gated utility.
