I'm not sure it qualifies as high budget, but there was a recent movie simply called "Crypto"

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8563452/

They have a few higher budget actors than other documentaries or movies related to crypto.

If whales want to sponsor a huge movie for everyone then it will go successfully, even it will not have that much viewers or this forum will support the movie. I think that's not bad. (lol) it is not that easy to make a film related or focus on bitcoin, it will take too long. because all bigtime producer dont have much idea about crypto. maybe, if bitcoin prices get too high then we can expect it.

I see there are some donations for charity here on the forum that might actually be effective, what if we consider to have a donation for bitcoin film as well, but we need to strictly verify the team who would organize the entire team, especially those that are really inclined to film making and at the same time, have some ideas mostly on the basic and deep concept of bitcoin and cryptocurrency. But with that, we also need the best story writer and director to make that project successful.

I guess "big bang theory" is one of the series where Bitcoin is mentioned allot of times in a season and a huge supporter I guess. Other than that, there is a project called spuul where they are planning about investment with crypto to produce films.

Yes, I agree with you that most films are made with the aim of obtaining large profits. and I think a movie about bitcoin is less interesting to watch and can't make a big profit. because we know that only a few people understand about bitcoin. so until now there is no film producer who wants to make a film about bitcoin. and if you want to make a film about bitcoin there must be a party to fund and sponsor the film.

We see a lot of different movie were bitcoin is the antagonist which is one of the many reason why bitcoin and cryptocurrency is having a hard time dealing with those people which thinks and see that bitcoin and cryptocurrency is a bad source of money and etc. It would be great if there would be a movie in which the bitcoin will be the one who are the protagonist in order to change the image of bitcoin and cryptocurrency to the perspective of other people, and also I want to see a high class movie with a good plot twist in which we can see the different field of cryptocurrency and etc.
High-budget films still prioritize capitalist propaganda, as long as bitcoin is still inseparable from bad rumors as fiat killers, then no big director will dare to bring it to the surface more for scenarios of positive utility, and even in plot twist.

Many films always rely on the artist in the first projection, the system is the second fundamental part. There will be a lot of friction in censorship institutions if they try to emphasize crypto as a good fiat alternative, controversy will arise.

Maybe this is about people demand and pure of business that documentaries movies isn't something interesting for those who liked action movies or hero movies so that's why there is no people who willing to makes movies related to bitcoin with high budget because they fear the movies will be lack of interest and the investors will lost their money
unfortunately in the arts it does require capital to build it, so I don't think it's an artist who doesn't want to produce an art of the highest quality. but people who have the capital that makes an art must always follow the needs of the market so that they do not lose.

It would be ironic to see a huge movie on Bitcoin whose ticket prices would be bought by customers with fiat xD I guess, unless crypto gets heavily adopted, till then, we should not expect much hype in the mainstream media and entertainment because a huge section of the population doesn't know about crypto so probably won't even watch a movie on it making it a loss for the producers.

I think those films who put btc into a negative light may have been manipulating the price so that people who invested with little knowledge may possibly withdraw their funds from their wallet. Then big players will have the opportunity to buy at a very cheap price again.
I was also wondering why it's hard for the movies to put btc in a good light.

Like what do we need Bitcoin movie for? It's not like Bitcoin is a novel or something like that. Bitcoin is a technology that will create a solution against the centralization of monetary value. We need an actual use that people would use in their everyday life! not a fantasy about it. Even if it's a movie about education, most people won't bother learning new technologies or fundamentals about a certain technology, they want something that they could use in an easy way.

the goal of people making films is usually to make a profit, maybe they think bitcoin-themed films aren't very profitable, because bitcoin is not very understood by many people, even in my environment only a few people understand about bitcoin.

People really don't need to fully understand bitcoin for film directors/companies to profit off them though. When talking about documentaries, sure probably. But movies? Nah. Just create a story on how a drug dealer uses bitcoin to sell his stuff; and add some CIA stuff and FBI pursuing him with guns and helicopters and stuff, and you're golden.

And that's how you make a bad impression of Bitcoin to the public. Good job!

I have seen several high budget documentaries, but a lot of low budget Bitcoin movies.



This is one of the latest low budget movies I have seen on https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3295330/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 

There must surely be some early investor or whale or successful Bitcoin company that can sponsor a high budget Bitcoin movie? I know there are

high budget movies where Bitcoin is mentioned, but most of them puts Bitcoin in a criminal plot and it puts Bitcoin in a negative light. We need to

make a movie, where Bitcoin is the hero and where bitcoin is changing people's lives in a positive way.  Wink

Although I invest in Bitcoin, I rarely watch movies about Bitcoin. Making successful films costs a lot of money and sometimes returns are low. When Bitcoin entered the field of film, I think this is also a new direction to assert its position. Movies attract viewers.

The low-budget films you mentioned are Indie Films which are festival-level films and are not very well known.
but there are still many films about bitcoin that are more famous.

Bitcoin Hest is one of the Feature Action films I've ever watched.
Although it does not specifically tell Bitcoin and there is no history of bitcoin, this film is able to introduce Bitcoin.
But in this film bitcoin is only a digital currency that will be massively broken.


Other films about bitcoin are mostly documentaries that introduce about digital currency Bitcoin.
There is one documentary that I am interested in,
which is Film  "Life on Bitcoin" which tells about a married couple who survived for 100 days using bitcoin.


For more specific films about bitcoin such as,
The Bitcoin Story,
I Am Satoshi,
Magic Money: The Bitcoin Revolution,
The Bitcoin Gospel,
The Rise And Rise of Bitcoin

and others.

Yeah, a friend told me upstairs. Bitcoin is not a folk hero. Bitcoin may be an alternative to the current economic system. But the problem is this. When an economy is established with Bitcoin, not everything will be good. It could be poverty again. Let's pay attention to the meanings we put on Bitcoin.

While not exactly a movie or high quality production... I recently saw an episode on Cryptocurrency on the Netflix series Explained created by Vox.

It is quite short it was only about a 15 minute episode but it was really well put together and professional looking.
Here's a link...
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8457070/

Nevertheless, someone putting their hardwork and money to bring attention to bitcoin is good enough... we should be thankful for what we can get at the moment

Bitcoin is just a form of money. It's not a hero. It's not interesting as the basis for a movie plot. Cowrie shells and gold coins don't make for good movie subjects, either.

Money is just a prop in movies. That's why you'll keep seeing Bitcoin in criminal contexts -- because criminals in movies can use it the same way they use briefcases full of cash.

Looking about the topic, I think it depends on what purpose we have for such a reason that we need to spend too much budget for a bitcoin movie. If we are to state facts and make the video informative, I think a movie will not be the most suitable to do it. Since we can create a documentary which in face needed not too much fund to make, and can deliver a very informative contents that will show and tell the world what bitcoin is. But for a good market adoption, it is enough for other movies to show that they have their characters paying using bitcoin. With a repetitive showcase of how bitcoin can be use, it can surely be imparted to the mind of the people will induce great market adoption.

Agreed. We can tell the truth to newbies in the crypto community, talk about the market research that needs to be done before investing. I think we can make them financially more literate with a movie about btc. We have to fix the bad reputation of the cryptocurrency market!
