# This week on Base: Film, identity, and a celebration for International Women's Day *A new film presented by Steven Soderberg, curated lists of pfps and podcasts, a celebration for International Women's Day, and more. Here's what's happening onchain.* By [This Week on Base](https://paragraph.com/@thisweekonbase) · 2025-03-07 --- **Cinema without gatekeepers** The traditional model for film distribution is broken, with middlemen raking in profits while artists struggle to get by. '[Cold Wallet](https://coldwallet.decentralized.pictures/)' is flipping that. Presented by Steven Soderbergh and [Decentralized Pictures](https://decentralized.pictures/), this onchain release is a better way to support filmmakers directly — [$14.99 and it's yours, forever](https://coldwallet.decentralized.pictures/). No licensing deals, no artificial scarcity. Just film, onchain, as it should be.
