BPS 383: How to Raise $2 Million Using NFTs with Arel Avellino

NFTs are all the rage today but how can indie filmmakers use them
to generate revenue? I did an entire episode dedicated to NFT and
Indie Films last year and it is, by far, one of the most downloaded
episodes ever.Today on the show we have a filmmaker and creator
that was able to raise $2 million for a brand new IP using NFTs.
His name is Arel Avellino. His brother and him launched an NFT
collection called Strange Clan and raised $2 million dollars in
sales of the NFTs which has basically helped kickstart the launch
of the Strange Clan IP. 
Arel told me:
 
As someone who is in the film space, I know you know how
challenging launching a new IP is which is why so many of our
movies today are recycled IPs, spin offs, sequels, and relaunches
of old IPs that were successful. I'm not sure if I've heard you
talk about this yet on your show, but crypto is an incredibly
powerful tool for funding new IPs because it is transparent, gives
your audience huge exposure to the success of the project, and
allows for a deeper level of community engagement.
He wants to see more filmmakers coming to space and taking
advantage of the innovations of crypto without getting sunk by the
hype.
 
Enjoy my enlightening conversation with Arel Avellino.
