BPS 408: The Patronized Self-Distribution (PSD) Model with Zach Lona and Anthony Gibson

Our guests today are filmmakers and developers, Zach Lona and
Anthony Gibson. Zach is the founder of Chicago-based film
production company, Eleusinian Productions studio that invented the
Patronized Self-Distribution (PSD) model. The Patronized
self-distribution (PSD) uses NFTs essentially as an alternative
film distribution model from traditional Hollywood distribution. It
hoists and redefines the status of independent films to that of
fine art while targeting the film’s specific audience (art
collectors/patrons). After finishing up his feature
mockumentary film directorial debut, He Who Lives In Hidden Lakes,
at the end of 2020, and being reluctant to go the normal film
distribution route, Zach sought an alternative and along with his
team, invented the PSD model earlier this year. The fanatic
beliefs of an internet mystic, a cult leader, and a rookie cop who
went rogue are tested on the hunt for the "Hidden Man" -- an
elusive forest-dwelling cryptid that terrorizes their idyllic
suburb.He Who Lives In Hidden Lakes is now listed as Eleusinian
Production’s first NFT auction on OpenSea NFT online
marketplace. The NFT model is a huge incentive for independent
filmmakers because the increase in viewers will lead to an increase
in passive income and NFT value.As you can tell, this is a deep
dive topic. So, I wanted to bring them to the show to talk about
how all of it works. Efficient ways to implement Patronized
Self-Distribution, Who really benefits from Patronized
Self-Distribution models, and more.

Enjoy my entertaining conversation with Anthony and Zach.
