Blockchain disruption hits Hollywood | Join our next AMA with SOLIS
The way we all consume content has changed endlessly over the past 40 years.
A little while ago, we only had a small number of TV channels to choose from – and if there was a program you liked, it was important to tune in at a specific time. After the evening news aired, you had to wait until the morning paper for the latest headlines.
But the internet has changed all that, allowing talented digital content creators to build their very own empires outside of traditional networks and studios. Not only has this allowed a far richer mix of stories to be told, but it has given audiences exciting ways to get involved with the shows they love.
During the latest live ask-me-anything session on Cointelegraph’s YouTube page, we’re joined by the co-founders of SOLIS – a company that facilitates direct engagement between creatives and their communities. With decades of experience in the entertainment industry, Brett Claywell and Brendan de Kauwe are transforming how films, digital content and TV shows are financed, monetized and produced.
A new approach
SOLIS has a marketplace where creators can generate new forms of revenue by releasing curated digital collectibles based on their intellectual property. It’s a concept now being explored by some of the world’s biggest entertainment brands – and is set to have an indelible impact in Hollywood and beyond.
Separately, a compatible securities trading platform has been unveiled allowing creators to offer investors stakes in upcoming feature films and digital content, facilitated through the issuance of tokens.
During the AMA, Brett and Brendan from SOLIS will focus on how the entertainment sector is evolving thanks to the use of blockchain technology. They will discuss how new funding mechanisms are helping to cultivate vibrant, imaginative projects that might otherwise never have seen the light of day. In addition, they will show how this approach can help build and maintain communities in new ways – and bring audiences closer to content than ever before.
Another hot topic concerns the ownership of intellectual property rights – and how the profits are shared between the talented individuals who bring projects to life. Brett and Brendan are convinced that SOLIS and blockchain technology are helping to create a fairer playing field for creators, and a refreshing alternative to record labels and Hollywood studios.
