I really like the idea, but I think not all people wanted to be paid using Bitcoin or ether, and not all people is fond of crypto currencies, I think there are too much things can't be used for supporting the making of the movie
I think to pump Bitcoin popularity, the Hollywood people could make a movie about Bitcoin
Topic: Funding a movie with Bitcoin possible? - page 3. (Read 1893 times)
If all the people involved in movie making agree to accept bitcoin as their remuneration and if all the other necessary things required in movie making are made available for bitcoin then it's possible. Actually, I don't think if it would be different from funding a movie with USD or any other fiat currency the only condition is that bitcoin has to be accepted by everyone like actors, actresses, directors, technicians etc.
Would it be possible to fund a reasonable budget movie (say $10MM) via BTC or Ether?
What do you think would be required to get enough interested contributors including some whales?
I think that's possible. The only problem is it takes a long time to explain "what is BTC and ETh" to the parties involved in filming. Not to mention the price of BTC and ETH that fluctuate, so that the funds that have been saved can go down or up. Very risky.

I just hate your guts OP so much, from the next week we'll start to see [ICO] the best one on the planet, buy your share of the next movie 
Not that there isn't something called ETH with unlimited capacity to host even millions of these movies ICOs. could I reserve the rights for any future attempt on launching an ICO for making the best story porn movie ever?
I'd like to use this rare opportunity and invite Franky1 to this movie for acting as the used co*dom on the floor which is not even completely shown on the screen just very blur corner of it

Its definitely possible with a straight to DVD movie. Or one of those fan made films that stream for free on youtube. It might even be possible to get Kevin Sorbo or another somewhat name actor if the movie is for a good cause or attracts the right kind of attention.
Don't think that you need money or crypto to make a movie. There are a lot of volunteer based budget projects out there that worked with little funding and few resources that managed to do decent work.

If it is a movie in the context of Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies and related technologies, you have a good chance of getting funding. But you would also need a very good script.
Yes it can be done,but making a movie need a long time and the crypto price is very volatile
Director don't want to take risk in that,so in term of making movie,using fiat is more convenient

Well why not, right? Bitcoin or ETH has a value so it can totally fund a movie. But it would be great if the movie would be about Satoshi and Bitcoin right? That would be a hit and would even give a great publicity. If the producer itself would invest Bitcoin in the movie then it is his decision. But theoretically, it is highly possible to fund a movie using Bitcoin.
Do you mean the community will fund the movie? If ever the movie will assure to give a huge ROI then it is possible.

Funding a movie with bitcoin is a good idea. I also think Hollywood should make a movie on bitcoin and the New World and it should be funded with bitcoin only making it a truly bitcoin based movie. I know some day we shall see this idea becoming a reality.

I think 10mm $ is a really big amount , so I am thinking that it would not be easy for anyone to make payment with the Bitcoin amount directly .What do you think would be required to get enough interested contributors including some whales?
first of all he needs the legalisation rules should be followed by them because if one person will give payment with the Bitcoin then he need to follow all.the rules otherwise it will be called as the black money or secret payment .
So here possibilities are many but to do the same work with fully safely then we need to go through the any types of the formalities .
Well this types of the payment in big industries will results into the good and better future of the Bitcoin .
Probably possible. If you don't have enough money then invite more people to invest in bitcoin. And, make a best film in your budget and get profits. Nothing is impossible in these days, there is a possibility for any thing.
Of course it's money after all, this makes no sense to me, you would most likely need to exchange it for first though.
For those confused mm is how you say million.

It makes sense because where some people live there aren't houses where they can borrow money. Banks lend money, but maybe the interest they pay to Bitcoin lenders can be more worthful as here the deals are "malleable". You can promise future shares from the movie's income, as you can sell the movies in DVD (some people would buy it as they don't access internet), maybe a movies session with paid ticket, and internet monetization.
before thinking about budget / funding.. any decent movie team starts with the basics.. which is a script/story line
most producers make a 'short', which is kind of like a trailer. or a storyboard, which is like a comic strip and they distribute it out to the major movie VC's who then fund the full production.
so before thinking about being a middle man money manager (sounds scammy) atleast think about the movie first. money last
EG actors, story, plot, script, locations,
you cant just shout out you need $Xm without even knowing the basic logistics like costs
you cant just shout out the basic logistics like costs without knowing who is going to star/direct to know their salary
you cant just shout out who is going to star/direct to know their salary without them seeing a script/plot to think its good
you cant just shout out a script/plot to think its good without writing it and knowing of locations and time needed to film
so start at the basics and dont try being a money grabber of empty 'vapor' projects

Yes, that is very important. Everything must be very well calculated and some previous jobs (portfolio), sinopse of currently movie should be exposed to possible investors.
Movies industry is very expensive, even for home made ones. I believe the most expensive part is to pay actors, especially if you need many movie extras.
Why not, this is duable. Usualy crowdfunding campaigns are very convenient for such funds raising but since there are not popular with Bitcoins you can try some other ways. Present your project to the community and relevant individuals and if you have something quality to offer there should be no problems.
I think it is a possible idea but the only problem may be is actors and technicians may not be interested in accepting Bitcoins or other altcoins. So we have to convert them first to fiat. If they accept it then it is a great news because you will save allot in taxes. But it is quite complicated right now I guess.
Yes i think its possible, do you have installations ready (Cameras, personell, place to film, actors) Ten million dollars is big money. Try kickstarter etc.

Ofcourse it's possible. It only depends on the director/funds manager or whatever you call the person who manages the funds/finances. But most likely not soon, since crypto is still very volatile. They wouldn't want to risk their funds crashing.
