For the first time in Hollywood history You're earning crypto in the background Today I sit down with actor filmmaker And friend David bian if it isn't good Enough for Netflix it's not good enough For me who just made history with the Very first web 3 TV show to be nominated For a prime time Emmy prime time Emmy Nominated tick it for what it is the More you watch the more crypto you earn The first ever robust watch and earn Ecosystem all for the upcoming Gala film Film token launch for the tge cuz There's going to be a token generation Event for film don't you wish you were Earning Gala token before Gala games Launched back in 2020 that is obviously Inspired by the gaming ecosystems Because gala gala games is is their Biggest Community I encourage you to Check out David's new TV show linked Down below and watch today's whole video Because I do ask David the tough Questions in 2021 we saw a lot of play And earn sort of spiraled eventually Because after you earn the token there Wasn't that much to do with it what's The other side once you earn this token What do you do with it click the like Button if you appreciate this Alpha and Let's start David with your background Sure um I'm widely known as an actor and An independent filmmaker I've been Producing independent film for the
Better of 20 years you know um and I've Got over 120 professional television Credits um member of the television Academy of Arts and Sciences as a Producer as well as as a performer um Member of The Producers Guild of America Um and so on and so forth so Um I've been doing this for a while I've Produced six feature films more short Films that I can count and in those Short films there's a genre that I Created called Spa spoken word Cinema so For the better of 17 years I've been Producing experimental short films told Entirely in poetry and so those you know Through the years of sharpening my Knives as an independent producer I just Got really damn good at it right and uh I've been collecting Bitcoin since 2017 Like so many of us and uh have been you Know heavily involved in being inspired By blockchain Tech so Come the nft Boom Of you know early 20 I I I guess I Jumped in like the beginning of 2021 um I mentioned a spoken word films because In March of 2021 I was the first to Mint A short film as a oneon-one erc721 token So I meant the first ever spoken were Film as an nft it was a project called I Can't breathe um that was my Soliloquy To the murder of George Floyd that ended Up successfully auctioning to a guy Named medicen who bought the $69 million Be at Christie's uh I don't all those
Proceeds to the George Floyd Memorial Foundation uh next thing you know it's Art bosle and you know people like G Money are collecting my stuff and then You know you know Keith grman and then You know and I was in rooms with Faro And Paula Moreno and you know and you Know and wolf and God Rest his soul and So many incredible you know web 3dg next Thing you know I'm deep into this Ecosystem but I quickly started to Understand the power of the smart Contract and quickly started to Understand the power of you know Sovereignty uh artistic provenance and More importantly was the actual Waterfall of residual payments that for The first time in art history you know Artists were actually receiving Secondary sale royalties and to me that Was just mindbending and the fact that It could be automated through blockchain Technology and also be immutable so you Know once I discovered all these things I was like I'm not going Anywhere this is amazing and I just Continued to forge through you know so I Quickly became one of the most Sought-after um socially conscious U Multimedia nft artist in space was Nominated nft 100 two years in a row by Nft n magazine um and blah blah blah Blah blah um as a result of that that's Kind of where we are right now so I was
Speaking for Gary vaynerchuck at the First vcon and that's where I met the Leadership at gala and at the time I was Working on building a basically a web 3bed sort of streaming ecosystem that I Was you know talking to some VC's about And when I met the leadership of Gala Unbeknownst to me they were actually in The embryonic phases of building out Gala film so this was I guess March of 2022 is I think And um we just hit it off and they were Bringing on partners and I was the first Partner that came in to develop a Project for G of film and so that was Basically the beginnings of of what Razer now is today so I'm binging it now Two episodes deep highly recommend the Audience check it out link down below And you can watch completely for free so My question to you is what is the web 3 Component what is the watch I'm see I'm Earning coins but I but I'm watching for Free right so it's a great question so It's a so Gala film is a premium Platform so free premium right and so What we're working to do is basically Disrupt distribution as we know it Because the traditional subscription Model is really turning into a a a money Lost Venture and you're seeing streamers I mean Paramount just shed 15% of their Staff it's like this is happening all Over the place where the streamers are
Really going toe-to-toe and so we Created a model that is the first ever Robust watch and earn ecosystem that is Obviously inspired by the gaming Ecosystem system because gala gala games Is their is their biggest Community but Also their most profitable aspect of Their community so what is interesting About Gala film is you only need to go On there and set up an account with the Email address and you could watch Anything on there for free including Razer right um and then as you watch Every time you watch you get this thing Called a mystery box and that mystery Box you open it up and then it gives you Shards or puzzle pieces if you will and Those are on chain so the more puzzle Pieces you connect act you can then Unlock neverbe seen expansion scenes That are not in episodes 1-8 but they Expand the lore of the world and some of These scenes preate episode one some of Them post-date episode 8 and some of Them are littered throughout but you can Only see them if you unlock them so the Cool thing is the more that you hold the More that you earn because you're Earning popcorn in the background and Eventually popcorn to all the Deens out There is is basically an nft holder for The TG G cuz there's going to be a token Generation event for film which is Theoretically supposed to happen Q4 is
2024 so the more popcorn you earn you're Going to be able to turn that in one to 10 for film so one popcorn equals 10 Film right and then you know that then That token is going to be the token that Is going to power the economics of the Goa film ecosystem which is currently Running on a big network of nodes so Just like there Gala film node holders Or are gala gala game node holders or Are also Gala film node holders and Those nodes are basically powering the Network so you basically for the first Time in Hollywood history you're earning Crypto in the background off the back of The success of the velocity of the Network that's huge and it's especially Huge people can get in now get in early Watch art and then you know be involved Before the Tge my question to you is in 2021 we saw A lot of play and earn which sort of Spiraled eventually because after you Earned the token there wasn't that much To do with it besides sell it so there Wasn't a lot of buy pressure or demand Pressure what is the what's the other Side once you earn this token will you Then will it this plat platform then no Longer be premium or what do you do with It sure so the token you can use to You'll be able to use to buy sell and Trade tokens within the gala ecosystem So say for example the the the existing
Model now is gam music so gam music is Currently a rewards ecosystem where the The native token is music and so you I Earn music every day off the back of Residuals I should say rewards um off The back of um some razor tracks that we Minted on Gala film and I could take That and I can run it to UNI swap Sushi Swap and I can you know cash it out to Whatever respective currency I want you Know or I can use it within the gala Music ecosystem to purchase more music Right and so you'll be able to do the Same thing with film film will operate With the same sort of mechanic so um When there is a tge event you'll be able To if you want to if you want to Liquidate you can liquidate if you want To continue to use the power of the Network you use the power of the network We're also building a thing called Pitches where you know you'll be able to Use your Gala film so community members Will be able to pitch their respective Projects and then as a film holder I'll Be able to use my film towards uh Potentially funding somebody's project Because I believe in what they're doing The idea is to continue to invigorate The community and keep this a community- Based ecosystem and you know the cool Part about this and I love what you said Earlier you're like I watch episodes one And two blown away right I I told
Gala All the way back to when we were Developing this idea I said we have to Make massively sexy content if it isn't Good enough for Netflix it's not good Enough for me because if we're not Making content that is world class in Triaa we're just as far as the World At Large the studios the streamers and web Two thinkers we're just going to be These cute kids in a web 3 Sandbox playing around with our Toys right but if you create something That gets prime time Emmy nominated that Attracts major celebrities and that to Your point blows people away from a Cinematic perspective a performance Perspective a camera perspective a Writing perspective and and exposes you To a New World now you've got the Opportunity to drive velocity to the Platform because at nft or or a watch And earn ecosystem is only as good as a Powerful underlining IP if the IP sucks If if if Star Wars sucks I'm not buying A lightsaber right you know and So Razer had to be badass and so it it Is An incredible show and I'm not saying That I mean I don't have to it's it's Prime Time have me nominated take it for What it is right um but you know you Mentioned how strong it is and so off The back of that that gives you a desire
To inquire deeper and the final thought On this is we need to work with web two Distribution as much as we need web 3 Distribution we need Web Two thinkers as Much as we need web three thinkers which Is why the idea of G of film is it's a Premium platform and all you have to do Is set up an account with the email Address and click and watch so you could Be you know a senior citizen in Jacksonville or kalamazo and you don't Have to know anything about crypto to be Able to go on g of film and enjoy and Watch and if you're a 25-year-old at Berkeley who doesn't understand crypto You could still watch and you get this Mystery box and you have a mild Tech Understanding if you want to investigate Further it's there for you but we don't Lead with that and that's one of the Problems with so many watch and earn and Play and earn all these things that that Have preceded what we're doing is that They're leading with tech they're not Leading with cool content And that to me is the most important Thing one thing I'll say to the audience And then final question for you um but You and me have known each other before Uh Krypto uh through a mutual friend Johnny Ray Diaz I I saw you at some of The television Academy stuff and parties Around La and I think I can speak for Both of us when I say we've been to a
Lot of film festivals we've seen a lot Of subpar content so it's always Refreshing when the content is something You would recommend to a friend and also In this case crypto so that is the Reason I think it's so cool and we Totally skipped over this but what is The plot of Razer and talk to me about Getting some of those Emy nominated Actors I me nominated through your Platform through your movie through this Talk to me about that sure uh yeah for Those that don't know so Razer is a it's An alternative sci-fi dystopia in Los Angeles and it takes you into the world Of neural implants hacker culture Cryptocurrency and black market crime so I describe it as like Mr robot meets Cyber Punk with Blade Runner injected Into it you know it is dark it's gritty It's grounded Cinema that speaks to all The technological tropes that we love so Much you know I wanted to create a show That would speak to the web 3D gens of The world something that would speak to The 18 to 35y old male predominantly Demographic right and you know when I Was pitching this idea to Galla they Just absolutely loved it because I Wanted to create something that the Community would latch on to emotionally Not just Technologically um and as far as the Talent is concerned you know I Clare
Coun is our casting director she casts a Show called beef for Netflix so but it Boiled down to the page if it's not on The page it's not on the stage that's Old theater Trope right and so off the Back of my body of work as a producer You know I was able to attract people That I you know people like Clare coun And my co-producer Noel Hubble who's 45 Episodes of Ages at shield for example Bringing this community together all That made enough velocity for real Talent like Danny tro like emelo Rivera Who you know from Sons of Anarchy and Mayans uh Richard cabal is a prime time Emmy nominee and of course Mina suari Who is a baath nomy and sag Award winner And she's American Beauty you know for Her to play an antagonist in this show And get these Hollywood tent pole actors To suddenly like be in a web 3 show it's Unfuck heard of right um but at the end Of the day it boiled down to the world That we built the power of the script And the the degree of skill um that my Production company brings that allowed Them to trust that this was going to be Something worth investing their time and Energy into and now off the back of that You know Mina sari is prime time Emmy Nominated for her Performance after the success of season 1 will there be a season two absolutely So I've been actively developing season
2 uh we're we're in the writers room now And you know I mentioned previously you Know we're looking at creating Partnerships with with web 2 streamers Why while incorporating the web 3 Model Because I want to be able to continue to Integrate these two worlds and I believe That it can be done in a successful way David bian thank you so much for sharing Your time links for everybody to watch As well as your personal links down Below final thoughts for the altcoin Daily Community uh final thoughts is look just Check out Razer you know um it's a it's A badass cult series that will speak to You and you know it's power of the word Of mouth and once you dig into the back Of the house Of what we've built at G of film I think You're going to be inspired and get Ready for the tge because it's coming
