Maybe you also have a family and a household to run. Or a physical storefront or take on client work. Tbh, I love the chaos of it.

Film3 has been a buzzword for independent filmmakers at the intersection of blockchain and cinema. At its core, Film3 is about rethinking how independent films are funded, created, and shared.
