INDIE FILM FUNDRAISING WITH NFTs
A Marine struggling with PTSD and a crypto entrepreneur embark on a journey of self-discovery and hope.
Barracuda Media, LLC is an independent film production company launching NFTs in Q3 2022 to raise funding to start production on the full length feature film Barracuda.
Barracuda is an original story (not a documentary) about a young Native American Marine struggling with PTSD who embarks on a cross country road trip with his best friend, an Indian American crypto entrepreneur. Traveling across the legendary Route 66 in a 1974 Plymouth Barracuda, the bonds of brotherhood are tested as our hero discovers his inner warrior and a new mission worth living for.
NFT ORIGIN STORY
In February 2022, Mike Reyes, 3D artist and co-founder of Hope Warriors Project unexpectedly created and auctioned off 22 custom 3D Barracuda’s on Cardano to bring awareness to our film and the fact that too many veterans are taking their own lives everyday. 100% of the proceeds were gifted to us. It gave us the push we needed to start our NFT journey.
As a way to say thank you to the community, we are dropping a 5000 piece, hand drawn Genesis collection by digital artist and U.S. Army veteran, E. Anthony Lees, as a FREE MINT cross chain. 2500 will be available to mint in August 2022 prior to the Series 1 3D drop on Cardano consisting of 7777 pieces. The other 2500 will be available to mint around the end of Q3/early Q4 prior to Series 2 dropping on Ethereum.

FAQ & Policy IDs

WHAT IS AN NFT?According to Coinbase.com NFTs (or “non-fungible tokens”) are a special kind of crypto asset in which each token is unique — as opposed to “fungible” assets like Bitcoin and dollar bills, which are all worth exactly the same amount. Because every NFT is unique, they can be used to authenticate ownership of digital assets like artworks, recordings, and virtual real estate or pets.

HOW TO MINT BARRACUDA

WHY ARE YOU USING NFTS TO FUND YOUR FILM?After discovering a thriving NFT community and live spaces on Twitter, Dayna and Shivang felt like they had found a new online family. As a result of the community's encouragement and support, they entered the NFT movement. Independent films have always struggled to secure funding, and over the last decade increasingly go direct to audiences to fundraise using platforms such as Kickstarter. Now, NFTs are changing how filmmakers connect with audiences and potential investors. “We are excited to be at the forefront of this new revolution. NFTs allow us to build a loyal community without a middleman before production even begins. Knowing there’s an audience already anticipating the film is thrilling.” -Shivang Mehta
-
WHY CROSS CHAIN?As filmmakers, we want to reach the widest audience possible. Building a cross-chain community will not only help bring this story to life, but promote healthy, authentic, cross-chain relationships in web3. We believe this is a much needed step toward mass adoption. Please note the Cardano and Ethereum Series 1 & 2 3D collections will be different. Holding an NFT from both chains will make the holder eligible to win the actual Barracuda car featured in the movie. More details to come. About Ethereum: Ethereum is a technology that's home to digital money, global payments, and applications. The community has built a booming digital economy, bold new ways for creators to earn online, and so much more. It's open to everyone, wherever you are in the world – all you need is the internet. About Cardano: Cardano is a blockchain platform built on a groundbreaking consensus protocol that pursues evidence-based development, for unparalleled security and stability. Cardano has a currency called ADA. Cardano is a new operating system for finance, identity, and governing. It is quickly becoming a favorite among creatives for its low cost and security.
