INDIE FILM FUNDRAISING WITH NFTs
A Marine and crypto entrepreneur embark on road trip of self-discovery.
OUR WHY
We believe anyone who struggles with thoughts of suicide should know they are seen and their life matters, especially our military veterans. We are bringing hope and awareness to this cause the only way we know how as independent filmmakers, by making a movie.
Thank you for joining us.
Barracuda Media is an independent film company crowdfunding with NFTs to start production on their full length feature film.
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, 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.
To thank the community, we are releasing a hand drawn Genesis NFT collection by digital artist and U.S. Army veteran, E. Anthony Lees, on both Cardano and Ethereum blockchains.
