Web3 movie producer Nick Sadler, who has been promoting and financing film projects for years with the help of blockchain technology, believes that rather than thinking of a movie as 100% Web3, filmmakers should consider how to amplify a great movie with Web3. Navigating the meteoric rise of “Irish Goodbye” has revealed to Sadler how Web3 could more effectively help independent filmmakers, particularly during awards season and marketing campaigns. Sadler has met several powerful Hollywood actors on his short film’s upward journey. One high-profile film producer took the “Irish Goodbye” creative team under his wing after falling in love with the film, introducing them to a number of key industry contacts. Sadler hopes that an ecosystem of truly decentralized and fully native Web3 projects will eventually take hold, but for now, film projects made with a hybrid model pushed through existing structures have broad appeal beyond a geeky niche.
Web3 Producer Goes to Hollywood with Oscar-Winning Short Film “An Irish Goodbye”
Nick Sadler, a film producer, has been promoting and financing film projects for years, aided by blockchain technology. He has faced difficulties in getting native Web3 projects off the ground, including selling NFTs to help finance production. Nonetheless, he has been successful in producing the short film “An Irish Goodbye” through his film incubator, First Flights. The movie has won several awards, including the BAFTAs and the Oscar for Best Live Action Short Film.
The Success of “An Irish Goodbye” Encourages Sadler to Redouble His Faith in Blockchain Technology
Nick Sadler is a Web3 movie producer who has been trying to finance and promote film projects for several years with the help of blockchain technology. However, it has been difficult to get native Web3 projects off the ground, and selling NFTs to finance production has not been easy.
“An Irish Goodbye,” which was fully funded in the traditional way through Sadler’s film incubator, First Flights, has won several awards, including the BAFTAs and the Oscar for Best Live Action Short Film. This success has encouraged Sadler to redouble his faith in blockchain technology, albeit with a different approach.
The Challenges of Financing Web3 Movies
Sadler operates First Flights with Phil McKenzie, another British film producer who has been trying to discover the potential of Web3 for show business for some time. The Web3 platform is called FF3. Sadler said that in previous attempts to raise funds for Web3 movies, he had to force people to get a MetaMask wallet and USDC. “That’s not going to work. Ever, forcing people to do things,” he said.
However, Sadler hasn’t given up on his Web3 dreams. He believes that a better path for Web3 would be to put up some of the funding for a movie that is already going to be made. “If you get selected for an Oscar, you have to pay for marketing, PR—where do you get that money? Why don’t you use the tools available on Web3? Do some NFTs of the characters, photos of the actors. It’s harder to do when the movie hasn’t been made.”
Sadler’s Success with “An Irish Goodbye”
Sadler was in Los Angeles from London for Oscar weekend to witness the final chapter in the incredible saga of the short film he executive produced, “An Irish Goodbye.” The film, co-directed by Tom Berkeley and Ross White, had already won several film festivals, including the BAFTAs.
The film was fully funded in the traditional way through Sadler’s film incubator, First Flights, which produces films using Web2 and Web3 crowdfunding models. Sadler and McKenzie have been trying to discover the potential of Web3 for show business for some time. The Web3 platform is called FF3.
