Topic: [ANN] FIRST Feature-length Documentary on Bitcoin, 100% BITCOIN FUNDED! - page 5. (Read 26377 times)

UPDATE: David Birch confirmed for interview in London.

He is financial consultant, author of more then a hundred columns for the Guardian and a book about Digital Identity Management as well as director of Consult Hyperion, a specialist electronic transactions consulting firm that advises governments and large companies on electronic identity and electronic money. He is also outspoken critic of Bitcoin and has offered his perspective on the young currency in the past, for example in this enlightening speech during the Prague Conferece 2011:

UPDATE: We are coming to London in May. Read all about it here!

We need suggestions for:
- People to interview
- Places to have the interviews (interesting backgounds, more or less silence, power outlets are a plus)
- Accomodation

Any ideas?

UPDATE: 66(.6)% OFF! Everything for 1/3 the price due to price appreciation of Bitcoin vs. USD!

We just lowered the prices for donation rewards, so check out our new prices and leave a message!

UPDATE #2 toady :

¡Saludos de Alemania y buena suerte!

Any suggestions?


We only have 17 friends so far.. 

LET US GROW!

UPDATE: First monthly statement public! We spent 2153.54€ and conducted 11 interviews in 3 countries!

The whole file and more Intel inside!

Well, since I am in Taiwan at the moment, for now I could offer to interview someone involved with Bitcoin over here.  I haven't looked into the possible existence of any 'players' in Taiwan but if you know of any bitcoin action occurring here it would be fun to go and film an interview with them.  I have time on my hands so it's no problem.

I'm a short flight away from Tokyo, but I'm guessing you'll probably make it over there yourself at some point.

UPDATE: New Assignment! (see OP): "LEGAL ADVICE"

This sounds like something I would be interested in buying. Wonder if they are for sale for others?

Ask Max Keiser to appear, he's been pushing Bitcoin on his RT show and reckons he is already a BTC millionaire. Maybe even good for a sizeable donation.

@ Bruno:

When we stayed over at Bratislava on Alex Breadman's invitation (he also organises this year's other big Bitcoin Conference), I was introduced to his charity program that he runs together with his fiancé and a friend; its called BitcoinTablet and is based on an interesting idea. Basically they want to raise funds (Bitcoins) in order to ship tablets for the lowest prices available at no additional costs to schools and rural communities in Africa. The twist is that these tablets run on solar power and can communicate with one another and with the internet through a meshnet from device to device. That way no additional infrastructure is neccessary and only one device connected to the internet enables all of them to take part in the global community. Oh yeah, and as a bonus Bitcoin Clients are already pre installed;)

Its still in early stage but they will receive the first batch of tablets next month and have already arranged some schools in central Africa to ship to.

Have a look and if you like it, pls consider to support them!

Cheers,
JR

first scene have a kid asking their dad for some money he gets out a dollar flicks it in the air to the kid who catches it while saying "turn this into a trillion"

Hi thx buddha!

Im sure we an work something out!
Where exactly are you located? Others have also pledged their support and have even offered to conduct interviews for us over in the US. Maybe you guys could join forces on the right occasion. Do you have any skills that you could help us with?

UPDATE: Interview with the guys from Ogrr.com on 9th and 10th of April (next week) in Berlin!

Hi everybody,

Just to let you know that we are back from our trip from Bratislava and Vienna with some great interviews and contacts!
More will be released shortly, always first on our blog!

We will meet Jesse and Co. from Ogrr.com in Berlin and interrogate them on Bitcoin and Virtual Worlds, their own projects and some inside views of the unfolding digital items trade economy!

If you have any questions for them, let us know and we will ask them. Leave your ideas in the comments (of our blog)!

We are also still looking for a great location to have the interviews. Some place with power outlets, silence (more or less), around 20m² space and no passers-by running through our set up. If you have any ideas, pls help us out and get into contact with me!
(I thought of a Cyber-Café or COmic book store but anything with a nice background would be fine)

Cheers,
Johannes

 

love this Johannes!  would be great to be involved somehow.  kann Deutsch sprechen und wohne in Kanada, bruder wohnt in Asien und spricht Mandarin, freund in Kanada (auch Deutsch) hat film in der Uni studiert...

Any updates or progress on this? Or have you guys been too busy just sitting and staring at the prices going  like the rest of us?

UPDATE: Second Bitcoin Docu announced!

Hi Everyboy, Im excited about this project! There is another Documentary in the making by Pittsburgh film makers that aspires to take Bitcoin to the public this year. Have a look at their project thread and show them some loving!
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-the-rise-and-rise-of-bitcoin-documentary-film-158091

We have been in contact over the past weeks and agreed on some collaboration to boost our both projects. They seem to focus on the US-side of things while we have, due to our geographical location, the focus on the European community momentarily.
I cant wait to see their movie, I hope they release more info soon! (may have to stop calling it the "FIRST" Bitcoin Docu eventually )

Or they could, you know, NOT do an extremely overdone cliche, and come up with something original. Personally I'd like to see that.

Now how the fuck did the barn wood guy backdoor the Wood Sponsor position?

Seriously, I nor Bitcoin 100 is interested in earning rewards for our actions. As you've quoted me above (in bold) in regard to this tier system of yours, I feel it best to dole any perks achieved via our funding efforts to those we may obtain to donating to your cause either directly or indirectly.

For instance, the entities I get on board to post Challenge Grants. They may be more incline to accept said rewards, perhaps donating in such a manner to reap the maximum benefits. Remember, I'm gunning for at least 10 people to pledge no less than $5,000 USD total, coupled with The Bitcoin Foundation to grant another $1,000 USD, IFF I obtain 10 new non-profits before the end of April.

This way you would receive no less than $16,000 USD worth of bitcoins into your coffer. As you well know, I'm already less than an inch there, since you've already received 1/16th of the my goal, with only 15/16 left to go. Now, if I were in Germany, the task at hand would be even smaller, for I would be measuring it in cm, assuming a cm is shorter than an inch.  

One more thing that I don't want to take for granted. Those 10+ entities I've been speaking of should get proper billing as well, similar to the 10 non-profits I bring on board. In fact it's imperative that this is arranged, for it's a major selling point for me to obtain those entities. I'm sure that BitPay, Coinabul, Butterfly Labs, Mt. Gox, Memory Dealers, Satoshi Dice, et al., would love to see their names on the big screen. (apologies if I left off major entities on the list, but was penning from memory off the top of my...let me rephrase that)

Spekulatius: there are many choices to be made in making a documentary. Can you talk a bit about your ideas?
