Amazon’s new series ‘NFTMe’ explores NFT culture and disruption around the world

The capacity to digitally authenticate almost anything, and the ability to make money in ways no one could even imagine before. These are some of the ways the documentary series “NFTMe” introduces non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

The show features artists, collectors and industry professionals worldwide who share their experiences with NFTs and how the merging of art and technology has positively impacted their daily lives.

In six episodes of 30 minutes each, NFTMe introduces 50 pioneers in the NFT space from four continents, including American singer Susaye Green (of The Supremes), Queen Diambi (Queen of the Democratic Republic of Congo), digital artist for SpaceX and Nasa Refik Anadol , Madonna’s music producer, along with Peter Rafelson and Cheryl Douglas of Portion, whose launched NFT compilations for the Black-Eyed Peas, to name but a few.

The first episode explores the NFT community and the journey of different people through digital culture, with leading influencers breaking down NFTs and blockchain technology, and Congo’s Queen Diambi sharing how her tribes have a Web3 mindset. While the second episode digs into how Refik Anadol makes art with NASA and how Eminem’s request from 20 years ago led to an NFT journey.

Behind the documentary series is the film producer Tech Talk Media and award-winning director, Jonny Caplan. Production began in 2019 and had to be adapted due to Covid-19 restrictions, “which included the submission of AI robots equipped with Li-Dar sensors that enable the director to remotely move, direct and communicate through.”, noted Tech Talk in an official announcement, adding that:

“NFTMe aims to be the MTV of NFTs, providing the standard go-to for information about NFTs in a clear, understandable and efficient way, allowing viewers to absorb the abundance of terminology, diversity and possibilities of Web3.0 – the kingdom, while you experience the culture, the atmosphere, the style and the energy.”

NFTMe streams on Amazon Prime, airing first in the US and UK. The series will roll out worldwide to more broadcasters in 2023, according to Tech Talk.
