The final day of the Onchain Summit in San Francisco is set to explode with creativity, innovation, and raw storytelling power — as the Film3 Festival takes over the spotlight on August 24th. This isn’t just another screening block. It’s a cultural collision of emerging voices, tech-savvy creators, and seasoned legends redefining what cinema can be in a decentralized world.
Get ready for insights from Emmy-winning director Rob Shaw, whose animated series You Play Too Much (starring Fred Armisen) is as nostalgic as it is razor-sharp. Shaw will be joined by 2x Emmy Award winner and immersive tech visionary Marcie Jastrow, award winning stop-motion animator and director Musa Brooker (Kevin Hart's new series L'il Kev), bestselling author, award-winning entrepreneur, and the founder of Onchain Media Rachel Onchain, Fortune 500 and blockchain indie firestarter Jawna Standish, Film3 pioneer & technologist Sherry McCracken, pilot-series creator and NFT world builder Cody Russell, Stanford-based bioinformatician, filmmaker, and founder of Zeitza Labs Joshua Badshah, and many more. This is a speaker lineup that spans mediums, genres, and industries — united by a belief that the future of film is collaborative and onchain.
The screening slate is nothing short of electric. Expect everything from blockchain-backed sci-fi and heart-tugging animation to creator-led documentaries and eerie explorations of silence.
Highlights include:
“SINS” by Sherry McCracken – a chilling horror film that tackles the consequences of silence and inaction.
“YaBoy Nancy Pilot” by Cody Russell – a surreal comedy pilot that tracks a Liverpudlian dreamer through the chaos of NYC.
“Welcome to Zeitza” by Joshua Badshah – a near-future speculative short that blurs the line between lab rat and synthetic human.
“Ebert Makes An Entrance” by Eric Brown – an out-of-this-world animated gem starring a curious mouthless character aboard a deep-sea vessel.
“You Play Too Much” series by Rob Shaw – a full block of animated shorts chronicling 1980s Philly with humor, heart, and haunting detail.
And that’s just scratching the surface. With over 20+ onchain films the day promises to be both visionary and visceral.
This year’s Film3 Festival isn’t just about watching — it’s about witnessing a new wave. The stories here are crafted in collaboration, funded through tokens and DAOs, and screened with community in mind. With voices like Rachel Onchain, Joshua Badshah, and Jawna Standish leading a panel and premiering their film "Onchain Humans and Impact," the event taps into what decentralized storytelling is really about.
Whether you're deep in the Web3 world or just curious about what's next in cinema, August 24th is your day to plug in. The Film3 Festival is rewriting the script — one smart contract, short film, and story at a time.
Catch it all on the last day of @onchainsf, August 24th.
