Atrium, in collaboration with Nouns DAO, has made history by producing the first-ever animated movie funded by a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO).
The movie, titled ‘’The Rise of Blus’’, redefines the traditional financing model of the film industry and explores the possibilities for creative collaboration and investment.
The project is funded by Nouns DAO and has a budget of $2.75 million. It boasts of seasoned creatives who have worked with industry giants, like Marvel and Pixar. The budget will be disbursed in installments upon the team’s successful achievement of predefined milestones.
Zen Doubt, the co-director, disclosed that the team was from all corners of the world, and the team members communicated with each other via Discord. He also mentioned that they had brainstormed feedback by using Figma and Syncsketch and rendered the project by using Unreal Engine.
Blus: A Floating City
The plot of this movie revolves around a boy’s heroic act after uncovering a dark and twisted plot by the elites of Blus.
Supriyo Roy, the co-founder of Atrium, revealed that the protagonist is unique and unrelated to any specific Noun NFT. However, he indicated that other characters will draw inspiration from existing Noun NFTs.
