LatAm Genre Co-Pro launches the NFT Awards in collaboration with Film.io

We’ve been apologetically quiet about the Blood Window for no other reason than the stress of normal life during the holidays, especially this year, pretty much took up all available time and energy. Terrible because a couple of my friends have had projects in this year’s market and I would have liked to have done more than give them a quick word of encouragement through Whatsapp. Anyway, here we are with some news like Blood Window and Ventana Sur near the end of a week of festivities in Buenos Aires.

Blood Window and Film.io are launching an original NFT collection, based on the works of local artist, the insanely talented Flavio Greco Paglia. I have praised and sworn at Paglia over the years for his work. I mean, damn, just look at this year’s main artwork on the left here. Damn, that’s awesome.

These NFTs will be awarded to winners of the 2022 Blood Window Awards.

Blood Window and Film.io launch original NFT collection

Film exhibition event Blood Window is partnering with Film.io – the world’s first film industry DAO, to premiere 15 award-winning NFTs created by Flavio Greco Paglia, a world-renowned fantasy and horror artist whose artwork has been created for acclaimed directors such as James Wan and Demian Ruga.

In partnership with Film.io, the Blood Window Award is NFT’s digital collectible of 15 original pieces created by renowned artist Flavio Greco Paglia – recognized worldwide for his thought-provoking illustrations in the science fiction and horror genres. These NFTs developed by Film.io live on the Ethereum blockchain, and have been exclusively reserved for the winners of the 2022 Blood Window Awards.

“True to our mission to empower filmmakers worldwide with intuitive, easy-to-use tools, the NFT studio is our latest leap forward toward realizing our goal. Currently in private beta, our NFT studio makes launching your own custom NFT series as easy as a few mouse clicks, so all creators can drive their ideas forward with exciting innovations and beautiful art” – says Film.io co-creator Chris J Davis.

Blood Window is the leading Latin American fantastic film market that takes place within the framework of Ventana Sur from November 28 to December 2, and includes an exhibition of films in both post-production and market premiere status. The event promotes filmmakers and explores their potential through the support of professionals specialized in the horror and fantasy genre, promoting Ibero-American talent within the film festival and film market environments. There will be a selection of projects in the early funding phase in need of strategic partners and resources selected to win the 2022 Blood Window Awards.

Governed by the world’s first filmmaking industry DAO, Film.io is the most powerful decentralized filmmaking ecosystem that puts Hollywood decision-making on the blockchain and in the hands of filmmakers and fans. Film.io’s platform allows filmmakers to submit projects as proposals, build audiences and receive market validation, expanding access to funding and licensing. They empower fans to vote on films by staking Film.io’s original FAN Governance Token to projects they support, and allow film investors, studios and streamers to scout market-validated projects with pre-developed audiences and analytics.

“NFTs and blockchains enable creators to greenlight their project and open up a whole new world for their fans,” said Film.io co-creator Orlando Pedregoda – “a world of creative freedom, collaboration and monetization that is ever-expanding dimensions .”

Along with Blood Window routine awards for films entered in the post-production and development categories, representatives of the awarded productions will each receive an all-original Blood Window Award digital collectible NFT they can access through their digital wallet. Up to 15 unique pieces prepared by Flavio Greco Paglia will be awarded.

“We believe that this unprecedented initiative at industry events and film festivals will help Latin American filmmakers approach the use of blockchain technology to promote the development of new audiovisual projects.” – Javier Fernandez Cuarto, coordinator of the Blood Window program at Ventana Sur.
