BPS 357: Using Blockchain to Make Money With Your Film with Kim Jackson and Jake Craven

Learning about new and improved ways to navigate archaic structures
in our line of business is always very interesting. So, this week,
I wanted to take you on a deep dive into blockchain entertainment
financing --- refined by entrepreneurs and producers Kim Jackson
and Jake Craven of Breaker.io.Kim is a member of the International
Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, co-owner of SingularDTV,
and CEO of its umbrella company, Breaker Studios, where Jake serves
as Vice President of Content Partnerships.

Breaker, founded in 2017, is a leading blockchain development and
services company in the Media & Entertainment industry. It
provides an innovative, intuitive, and user-friendly end-to-end
royalty management platform for independent creators and
distributors. Simply put, it uses blockchain and cloud-based
technology to enable creators to maximize their revenue by
automating revenue collection, backend accounting, and royalty
payments while ensuring transparent reporting. I discovered Breaker
when I stumbled upon Alex Winter’s award-winning feature
documentary, Trust Machine: The Story Of Blockchain produced by
Kim. Trust Machine trailer. The film explains how Blockchain
technology is already being used to change the world, fighting
income inequality, the refugee crisis, and world hunger. If you are
new to Blockchain or have felt overwhelmed by all the information
Google threw at you in an attempt to learn the rudimentary theory
of Blockchain and cryptocurrency, check out Vinay Gupta's 'A Brief
History of Blockchain, Kim referenced during our chat.Breaker's
concept is definitely the future of entertainment finance and, dare
I say, global financial transacting.

Being ahead of its time, Breaker is introducing products that allow
for media revenue and royalty to be tracked via blockchain
technology, which allows for an open-source network of
data.Basically, Breaker provides a better model for instantaneous
recording and eliminating mistrust, especially for independent
companies that want to sustain a business and revenue model for
themselves. I wish we had more time to continue the conversation
because it was packed with filmtrepreneurial and blockchain
knowledge bombs, and we could all do with the extra crash course.
But I made sure to ask many important questions for you guys from
today’s experts.

So, enjoy my conversation with Kim Jackson and Jake Craven.
