Welcome everyone to Mogul’s ecosystem. We are the NFT marketplace platform for the movie industry. Over the years Mogul has cultivated its team and technology to give you the best experience. Each day Mogul develops exciting products infused with a strong community spirit.
With so many exciting products from film and entertainment entering Mogul’s marketplace, new fans and collectors are joining our ecosystem daily. Mogul creates processes to interact with and reward its community. This also includes working with its cross-community partners to provide utility in the form of games, tokens and other rewards.
The STARS token is our native cryptocurrency that opens the world of Film3 wide open. It’s used for staking, voting, governance and ownership. STARS allows users to take part in our NFT drops, watch movies and fashion shows in our Mogieland metaverse, and get involved in the community. Fans and collectors who wish to buy NFTs on the Mogul platform, or participate in the P2E games and land sales in Mogieland, will need STARS to do so.
Buying NFTs with STARS rewards buyers with discounts and lower gas rates. Occasionally, drops and other sales can be purchased with both STARS and ETH. In such cases, products bought with STARS will receive a significant discount on their purchase as compared to using ETH. This is our way of saying thank you for supporting the utility and benefits of our native cryptocurrency.
Aside from staking STARS in film projects, which we will get to shortly, Mogul Productions runs its own staking programs. Staking means locking your tokens in a staking pool to earn rewards in the form of more STARS tokens. Participants have the opportunity to lock their tokens for specified periods of time to receive a STARS reward rate defined by the pool they are entering. The longer the lockup, the more rewards!
Mogul Productions is a decentralized film financing (DeFiFi) and NFT platform that connects creators, movie fans, and film financiers in one space to ensure the best films get made by giving everyone a voice.
By leveraging blockchain technology and a tokenized system, Mogul incentivizes participation and rewards engagement. Through the use of STARS tokens, users can vote on, greenlight and participate in key decision-making aspects of production.
Up to 50% rewards from Mogul-produced movies goes back to the Stars voting stakers
Quadratic voting promotes active participation in voting from all of the STARS token holders, regardless of their size, because each holder has a voice in the process. Small holders have a proportionally large voice; which in turn allows Mogul to gauge the sentiment across our entire community, and not just a few large holders!
That’s the premise of Mogul. Bringing power back to the crowd
Mogul’s production team and advisors are award-winning Hollywood veterans who have written, directed, acted in, and produced a wide range of films and TV shows. Our team reviews film submissions.
Mogul then comes up with a shortlist of films to vote on based on the producer’s recommendations and expertise. We’d present those films to the community. Then the community votes on what film they want to see turned into a cinematic release.
NFTs campaigns are then custom-built for each movie.
Are you an indie filmmaker with a vision? Submit a project proposal for a chance to have your idea funded. When you submit a project, our panel reviews it and the successful projects will be put into the showcase.
Mogul is constantly building ways to add more utility to the STARS. This includes but is not limited to usage in new film and crypto projects, mores ways to spend the token on other platforms, and getting the token listed on other exchanges.
Supernovas reward STARS token holders
Mogul is always thinking of ways to give more utility to STARS. Each time STARS are used for in-app activities, Mogul destroys a portion of the STARS used to complete the action.
That includes:
Purchasing limited-edition NFTs that are only made available to STARS holders
Purchasing rewards with STARS
Submitting scripts for Mogul’s review
Here at Mogul, we call it a Supernova when a portion of STARS are permanently taken out of circulation, or burned. Supernovas allow users to buy more NFTs with their STARS, as well as protect and reward our community of token holders. Supernovas are scheduled to occur on the third Friday of every month and more may be added as circumstances allow.
Some time ago, most people were not interested in non-fungible tokens and didn’t even care to know what they meant and what they stood for.
It is quite another story today because the internet is filled with different stories about NFT projects, how to invest in NFT, and many similar topics.
Because of how complex NFTs are, it can be challenging to explain to people how these tokens work and how contrasting it is with fungible tokens.
Continue reading as we explore together the major differences that are shared by fungible and non-fungible tokens both in technologies and use cases.
What Are Fungible And Non Fungible Tokens?
You may not understand to a good extent the little or no similarities that are found when fungible and non-fungible tokens are examined.
Fungible tokens are items that can easily be interchanged with another similar one; they are not unique. An excellent example of fungible tokens is the US dollar, which is more relatable.
When you pick a 100-dollar bill, and then you meet another person who has another 100-dollar bill, the two of you can easily exchange them without any reduction in value or design. For fungible tokens, they are more known because of the value they have and not because of their rarity since they are interchangeable.
Another angle to look at fungible tokens is that they don’t have an original owner; currently, have you seen a dollar that has a traceable original owner?
All this is quite the opposite of non-fungible tokens; they exhibit the quality of uniqueness, and another NFT cannot interchange them. Unlike fungible tokens, the original owner and the current owner of a non-fungible token can be traced using the blockchain.
The creation, existence, and issuance of NFTs rely on the blockchain, and some of the most popular networks for NFTs are ERC-721 and ERC – 1155. The Ethereum network is not a monotonous blockchain where NFTs exist; NFTs can be created and issued on Polygon and Binance blockchains.
NFT Blockchain Networks
Ethereum
Ethereum blockchain is the leading platform where the existence and issuance of NFTs thrive very well; more than half of the NFT market lies on the Ethereum network.
The Ethereum blockchain is not a closed-source network; its governance token (ETH) is the largest asset in the crypto market by market cap after Bitcoin. Because of its ability to provide a platform for blockchain developers to develop services and applications, NFTs are minted in large numbers on the Ethereum blockchain.
Polygon
The Polygon network is another blockchain that accommodates the existence and creation of non-fungible tokens.
The framework offered by this network is compatible with developers to create scaling solutions and financial services.
Solana
Dubbed as one of the fastest programming blockchains, Solana uses a combination of proof of stake and evidence of history to ensure simplicity on the blockchain.
Although Solana isn’t widely used as Ethereum, its POS and POH mechanisms create a platform where NFTs are made and sold with reduced gas fees and transaction time.
Difference Between Fungible And Non-Fungible Tokens
Features
Features are the leading difference between fungible and non-fungible tokens; the two of them go in parallel lines in terms of features.
Fungible tokens are divisible, meaning you can take a 100-dollar bill and then divide it into two to give you a 50-dollar bill each. In the same way, you can also take one Bitcoin and then divide it into two to give 0.5 Bitcoin each.
Fungible tokens are also interchangeable because you can easily exchange 200 dollars with another person with the same 200 dollars without noticing differences. Another instance is that you can easily convert your Ethereum to Solana or another cryptocurrency without any problem.
This doesn’t apply to non-fungible tokens because you can’t interchange Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs with Crypto Kitties; they are not interchangeable.
Rarity is another difference between NFTs and fungible tokens; NFTs are unique while there are so many similar fungible tokens. The details in every US 100 dollar note are the same: the images and the symbols on the dollar note. For NFTs, the Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT has its differences and is unique from other NFTs.
Use cases
Non Fungible tokens and fungible tokens do not perform the same purposes or solve similar problems in the real world.
Fungible tokens are primarily used as a form of payment for services and products, just as the US dollar is used as a yardstick while performing financial transactions. Most of the time, the trades and transactions that occur in real-world scenarios are made using fungible tokens such as cryptocurrencies and fiat.
Fungible tokens also act as a store of value whereby the token maintains its value instead of having constant volatility and depreciation. The currency of a nation, like the US dollar, functions as some store of value to the economy of the United States.
Non-fungible Tokens, on the other hand, primarily function as a way of maintaining the intellectual rights and property of artwork and other things. Those who have intellectual properties that are in the form of music, videos, files, and even old tweets can easily convert them to NFT and claim the right as the owner.
Non Fungible Tokens are also used in the gaming industry to ensure that players are well compensated and rewarded for their activity on gaming platforms. Some gaming platforms such as Axie Infinity and The Sandbox use non-fungible tokens to reward their users as in-game collectibles.
Another feature NFTs have that does not exist for fungible tokens is that they are used in the healthcare sector to create lifelong identity verification.
Isn’t that awesome? The birth certificates of a baby can easily be converted to an NFT, making it impossible for the data on the NFT to be tampered with or destroyed.
Types Of NFTs And Fungible Tokens
The varieties of NFTs that are in existence are pretty different from fungible tokens; in some cases, they are not related in any way.
For fungible tokens, the types are broken down into utility tokens, governance tokens, and security tokens.
Utility tokens are fungible tokens that help to grant users access to a particular platform or service on the blockchain. The primary function of these utility tokens is to serve as a reward for performing some activities in a platform or ecosystem.
When it comes to cryptocurrencies, governance tokens function as some form of voting right for users of an ecosystem to dictate how the ecosystem should be operated.
Unlike other fungible tokens, security tokens don’t often get recognition on social media and the internet because they don’t serve many purposes. The primary purpose served by security tokens is that it functions as a way of getting some form of ownership in a company.
There are many kinds of non-fungible tokens, too, including video, collectibles, music, art, and game NFTs.
Video NFTs are a kind of non-fungibles made using moving pictures through blockchain technology to create and issue NFTs. Video NFTs are closely related to music NFTs; the only difference is that while the first may be moving pictures, the latter is organized sounds.
Game NFTs are in-game items in the form of NFTs that are used by gaming companies such as The Sandbox to reward their players.
Art NFTs are created mainly by digital artists who do not want their art or intellectual property pirated by other people without well-deserved credits. By converting their art to NFTs, they will forever remain the original owners of that art, whether the ownership rights are transferred or not.
Value Transfer
Value transfer differs between fungible and non-fungible tokens; one is based on the number of tokens involved, and the other is based on uniqueness.
The value transfer of fungible tokens is determined by the number of tokens in the owner’s wallet. Assuming you are transferring Ethereum or 100 dollars to another wallet or account, the value primarily depends on the amount you will be moving.
In the case of non-fungible tokens, the value transfer of the tokens relies more on the uniqueness of the token. You should know that the more an NFT has rare or unique features, the more the value of the NFT will likely increase.
It is the uniqueness of the NFT that helps to drive the number of expectations that community members have for an NFT and the excitement behind the project.
However, one should note that the rarity and value of an NFT are not only determined by its number of traits. The traits of an NFT should be so uncommon that they should not be found in another NFT; this will help drive up the price and evaluation of the NFT.
Wrapping up
Fungible and non-fungible tokens have little or no similarities but have significant differences, making them so contrasting.
While fungible tokens can easily be divided and interchanged with other fungible tokens, NFTs are unique and don’t have a replacement.
Currently, most fungible tokens are used as a store of value and for financial services, while non-fungible tokens are mainly used for rewards on gaming platforms.
Experience the world of entertainment like never before. Mogieland is Hollywood reimagined.
It’s the metaverse primed for changing in the world of entertainment including film, music, art and fashion.
Get ready for fun and adventure. From the animators that brought The Simpsons series, The Simpsons Movie and VR attractions at Universal Studios Japan, comes the first ever NFT animated series. The Mogies is a collection of 1,923 NFTs inspired by the last 100 years of Hollywood characters and personalities, leading into the upcoming animated series and Mogieland metaverse.
Why so serious? The animated series and metaverse is going to be filled with fun adventures and surprises.
Superheroes, sidekicks, mutants,inventors and supervillains are engaged in epic adventures while interacting with children’s characters, talk show hosts and various other famous Hollywood-inspired characters inside Mogieland.
Mogies are citizens of Mogieland.
In actuality, they are aliens from an advanced race that use “lasers” to transform the landscape in the blink of an eye.
Amidst scrub brush and desert dunes, a UFO has landed and then obscured itself. It’s a shrouded forcefield that has taken the shape of an old tube television laid on its back. What goes on behind its opaque borders has remained a mystery…until now.
Mogies feed off entertainment as energy, and travel across the Universe absorbing this vital resource, sucking intelligent worlds dry and moving along to the next. Earth stands to be the biggest source of entertainment and salvation because when our little Mogies get bored, they die.
Ultimately, Mogies are passionate cosplayers and the biggest fans in the galaxy. Mogieland is their Comic-Con and they have every intention to ensure it lasts forever.
Mogies look and act like all our favorite characters and Hollywood icons from the past 100 years, even ones that can control the weather inside the metaverse.
Selected characters from amongst the NFT collection have already been chosen as characters of the Mogies animated series. As more scripts are written, characters are animated, and episodes produced, certain Mogies will be joining the cast.
Which ones are already STARS, that we can’t tell you. You’re gonna need to watch to find out.
Mogies Reward redemption
The Mogiescollection of NFTs support the creation of the new animated series. To ensure that the Mogieland and Mogies ecosystem is healthy and continually adding more utility, 50% of all 7.5% secondary market royalties will go directly towards growing the project. Also 10% of all future rewards from the Mogies animated series, wearables, collectibles, or line of figurines will be distributed to Mogie NFT holders as rewards quarterly.
Mogie NFT owners will get the ability to participate in the animation series development. In the private Discord channel, Mogie owners can be part of the animated filmmaking process in partnership with the animators of the Simpsons. They can make suggestions about the series and have direct input to the creators.
Once the animated series airs, the studio version of the Pilot will be transformed into an exclusive NFT and be sent out to all Mogie holders. As part of the Mogies derivative collection, users will own a piece of a TV series. In addition a special thank you will be shown in the credits at the end of episodes to select holders.
Mogieland breaks geographical barriers to access exclusive events and brings them into a universe where brands, fans, movies, and celebrities can interact. It’s where movies meet blockchain.

Film3 is a movement spearheaded by Mogul Productions and our community to empower film and content creators to create movies and content in better fan exclusive ways using blockchain technology.
Mogul is where movies meet blockchain through DeFi and NFTs, and now, the Metaverse through Mogies and their new home, Mogieland.
Changes are afoot. The entertainment industry is moving rapidly toward embracing Web3. The power balance of the entertainment world is shifting toward the creators and fans and away from traditional mainline bureaucracy.
Artists get paid directly from their fans. Audius is a blockchain decentralized music streaming service which removes the middlemen in the traditional music industry by connecting artists directly to their fans. Audios’ music player interface serves over half a million users each month. It is fully decentralized and operated by a community of artists, fans, and operators, giving access to exclusive features and content.
Artists have the sole ownership of their music and can decide how to monetize them on the platform. They can distribute their music free of charge or set custom fees for fans to unlock exclusive content.
Music curators can receive 90% of the revenue in $AUDIO. The other 10% is distributed to stakers that support the Audius network. By staking $AUDIO tokens, artists can access content distribution tools to distribute their artist tokens to fans. Fans holding artist tokens can unlock exclusive access to token-restricted content, such as unreleased tracks, remix competitions, etc.
Chiliz $CHZ, the token for sports & entertainment
Chiliz provides sports and entertainment entities with blockchain-based tools to help them engage and monetize their fans. The Chiliz token was developed by the Socios sports fan engagement platform which is built on the Chiliz blockchain infrastructure and uses $CHZ as its exclusive on-platform currency.

STARS, the token for film
Let’s make a film together. From script to screen, the road to Web3 Filmmaking, with fanbase participation, goes through Mogul Productions and its upcoming metaverse Mogieland.
Mogul’s immersive and inclusive Film3 platform transforms how movies and other art forms and entertainment get funded through decentralization. It allows members of its expansive community to participate in the production process.
Until Mogul, the mass of enthusiastic movie fans seeking greater involvement in movie production, were an under-served community. A lot of great films were not getting made, due to the studios holding all of the power.
Today, new ways of financing are igniting new trends for indie filmmaking.
Bringing power back to the crowd.
Fans are becoming a powerful force in the decision making process. Mogul offers movie fans a piece of the action on the films they support. Fans vote with STARS tokens on which films they want produced. When the fans help vote for a film, they get access to certain perks.
Digital movie merchandise is also used to promote upcoming releases. Independent filmmakers can monetize NFTs as a means of funding their work. Fans can purchase the NFTs during the pre-production and production phases of filmmaking.
These utility-based NFTs are designed to bring fans closer to the action via different forms of film memorabilia, exclusivity and behind-the-scenes access. A couple of examples of those could be attending red carpet premieres. It could be getting producer credits on a film. It could be getting access to behind-the-scenes content from the production or it could be meeting a lead actor for face time, or one-of-a-kind film posters..
STARS is the token for Movie Fans. STARS are used throughout the Mogul platform to buy NFTs in the marketplace, vote on films they want produced, redeem exclusive rewards and get discounts on marketplace purchases. Buying Mogul NFTs with STARS gets a 5% discount compared to buying with ETH. Plus there are lower gas rates. And when you sell NFTs, users receive a 2.5% discount on marketplace fees.
Music, Sports, Concerts and Film are just the beginning of Web3 Entertainment.
Experience the world of entertainment like never before in the metaverse for film, music, art & fashion. Mogieland is a homage to Hollywood and is inspired by the traditional landmarks of Hollywood, such as Hollywood Boulevard, Studio City, and more.

The token provides greater access to the Mogul NFT and metaverse platform and is used for staking, governance and community ownership over the success of our NFT Marketplace.
Over the years Mogul has cultivated its team and technology to give you the best experience. Each day Mogul develops exciting products infused with a strong community spirit. With so many exciting products from film and entertainment in Mogul’s marketplace, new fans and collectors join our ecosystem daily.
Mogies were designed by CHAVVO Studios. The award-winning, transmedia production team has worked with major Hollywood studios including Disney, Universal, Marvel Entertainment, Sony Animation, Cartoon Network, Fox, Dreamworks, Nickelodeon, and EA.
The team has been involved in the production of major box office hits including The Simpsons Movie and series, Kung Fu Panda, The Avengers and many more.
CHAVVO is committed to the Mogieland NFT community and new animated series.
“Mogieland is a homage to Hollywood, to our favorite characters, actors, and movies that have made us. Mogul is set out to make this the very first NFT animated series and we couldn’t be more excited to partner with them. Mogul has given us creative freedom to develop something original and special in this space. It’s great to see Mogul supporting creators and the animation community like very few others have. We are committed to this project and the NFT community. As a NFT producer we want to be a major player in the NFT space. Working with Mogul, I can see that really coming to fruition.” says Erick Tran, Chavvo founder and producer.
This campaign with our new partners, Trace Network Labs is specifically designed for the Mogul Productions Community with the aim to create awareness about the partnership and to make the Mogul community ready for upcoming Metaverse Events. The Trace Network Labs Team has decided to give away $25k + USD worth of rewards for this campaign via their BUDDY NFT Passes! These NFTs will enable you to create real look-alike virtual characters based off your own Avatar and also grant you access to a plethora of virtual events such as Metaverse attending film premieres.
The campaign will have the following 3 stages:
Stage 1: Whitelisting for BUDDY MINT Pass. 1000 Buddy Mint Pass NFTs to be given to the whitelist addresses who complete the gleam campaign. BUDDY Mint pass NFT winners will use it to mint BUDDY Avatar NFTs. The winner’s addresses will be selected at random. (The campaign will be open for 2 weeks). The whitelisted addresses should be ERC 20 polygon (Non exchange)
Follow the steps to get started on the Gleam campaign and win your free NFT!
Stage 2: For those who complete a BUDDY Mint Pass, they will have access to receive a free mint for an animation NFT which can be minted from the Trace website. (This will be open for one week after Stage 1 finishes)
Stage 3: Holders will receive digital wearable NFTs for the those who post their BUDDY Avatar GIFs on their Twitter Handle and tag @trace_network & use the hashtag #BUDDY (1 week duration for submission).
How to get involved:
The Whitelisting Process will be based on completion of the following simple steps:
Web1 is an era of the internet where people could post content and it could be consumed by others. Web 2.0 is the era of the social internet or the web as a platform, but where large companies owned all of the data being posted on them, combining mobile, social and cloud computing.
If Film 1.0 represented the era of making more movies and hoping they get consumed, and Film 2.0 represents the consolidation of the studios and everyone generally having to go through them and their distribution channels to get a movie project greenlighted, then Film3 is where the economy of Web 3.0 melds with filmmaking. It represents ownership and monetization of your own content without needing big studios to get a film produced and distributed through Decentralized Film Financing (DeFiFi) which also includes NFTs.
Film3 infrastructure is taking place online. It is the immersive experience of filmmaking in blockchain and metaverse spaces. The newest layers of the entertainment industry are being built online. Production companies, film companies, streaming platforms, financing, advertising and more aspects of the filmmaking process are on the internet in a more transparent way.
Filmmaking has become very Hollywood-centric and cliquey. Only a few key decision makers act as gatekeepers for content. Studios run the show in terms of determining what content goes out because they’ve become more vertically integrated and have lots of cash.
Film financing structures are expensive, inefficient and restrictive. It enhances the power imbalance between distributors and indie films.
There’s a lack of funding access for indie films. Budget standards exist in silos. There is poor market data for international sales. Even for key decision makers, there is a lack of information regarding support for what types of film the fans actually wish to watch and engage with? Post production is a lengthy process, often occurring without fan participation or even fan awareness.
Film3 solves the power imbalance.
Bottom-up design
Film3 is being developed in full view of everyone, encouraging maximum participation and experimentation.
New ways of financing are igniting new trends for indie filmmaking. Too many great potential films don’t get made, due to the studios powers making it difficult for the little guys, including indie filmmakers and movie fans, to have their voices heard.
That all changes with Film3.
With Film3, movies are made with the fans.
For filmmakers that were struggling to get financing or to launch their story into the market, Film3 fills a gap.
The whole premise of Film3 is to enable filmmakers to get their stories turned into cinematic releases. Film3 pioneers offer movie fans a piece of the action on movies they want to support. Through Film3, the fanbase is part of the film production. They become a force in the decision making process.
A film’s net proceeds can be distributed back to the fanbase community, via a blockchain smart contract. The modern movie fan is part of a collective that lets their voice be heard, both online and off. They mobilize and fight for what they are passionate about, to the point that real changes get made to Hollywood projects.
Film3 is built by innovative groups and partners upon the notion of decentralization, transparency, and greater user utility for fans, collectors and filmmakers.
First dropped in 2021, the Arabian Camels collection helped lay the foundation for IP from the upcoming feature film Antara. NFT holders can get acting parts in the film, access to the film’s premiere, and part-ownership of the movie, enabling them to partake in box office and streaming revenues. The community is also eligible to earn a yield on their NFTs during production.
The vision behind Arabian Camels is to create a whole new platform and ecosystem where creators, producers, digital artists, and communities can collaborate to create something special for movie lovers.
The Film3 landscape currently consists of subcategories
Decentralized Production Companies
Crowdfunding
Virtual Cinemas
Film/Series using NFTs
Film related platforms
Film related DAOs
NEARVERSE fits in the Virtual Cinemas subcategory. They partner with Film3 communities to scale metaverse development in virtual cinemas and user engagement. NEARVERSE is a metaverse focused on empowering artists, and provides the ability for every player to earn through exploration, by giving options to create epic lands and interactions thus enabling users to embark on a new journey within a thriving metacommunity.
Mogul Productions is a leader in all Film3 subcategories.
Filmmakers use Mogul as a platform to launch their movie campaigns. Mogul and its partners establish product lines to connect movie-makers with fans to decentralize the filmmaking process and provide better fan engagement opportunities.
Mogul partners with artists, filmmakers, actors, and other entertainers to provide an end-to-end solution for minting and launching their own NFT collections through their marketplace. They are an immersive and inclusive platform transforming how movies and other forms of art and entertainment get funded by allowing members of its expansive community to participate in the production process like never before.
Projects are greenlit through a combination of voter staking, NFT film memorabilia sales, private funding, and film funds.
From script to screen, Film3 has 3 pillars.
Decentralized Film Financing platform (DeFiFi)
NFT marketplace
Metaverse
DeFiFi Platform
Indie filmmakers are able to get their movies financed by incentivizing from their fans. Crypto-based decentralized platforms allow fans to participate in the box office revenues, conduct voting and governance on key film decision aspects, plus reward users through voter staking and other incentives. It brings a whole new level of movie promotions along with the financing.
NFT Marketplace
Utility based NFTs are designed to create incentive structures by bringing fans closer to the action via different forms of experiential utility and behind-the-scenes access. Independent filmmakers can monetize NFTs during the pre-production and production phases of filmmaking as a means of funding their work.
A few examples of utility-based NFTs could be getting producer credits on a film or getting access to behind-the-scenes content. It could be meeting a lead actor for facetime, or one-of-a-kind film memorabilia or invitations to exclusive events like red carpet premieres.
Experience Hollywood in the Metaverse
Social trends are changing. During the Film 2.0 era, going out to the movies was a large social pastime. It still is. Yet, with streaming services and now home movie watching, the pastime has lost a lot of what it once had. The Metaverse has the ability to bring that back
Mogieland is Hollywood in the metaverse. It is a Film3 digital reality that combines aspects of social media, augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR) and cryptocurrencies to allow fans and other users to interact virtually. Visual elements are overlaid with sounds, CG, and other inputs to enhance the user experience and enhance fictional realities.
Users from around the world can host and attend digital movie premieres.

Introducing the Film3 lifecycle.
Through decentralized applications
Filmmakers can launch their Intellectual Property (IP) to a dedicated audience via DeFi and NFTs.
Financing and payment distribution is handled through smart contracts, providing access to global non-dilutive capital.
Incentivized engagement is used to build a fanbase, and de-risk distribution. Exclusive film content is issued to fans through NFT smart contracts.
Smarter data using built-in fanbases drive decisions across entire slates.
To summarize, Film3 is the next generation of media, disrupting legacy models by utilizing blockchain technology and the power of digital communities. By eliminating the many layers of middlemen between artist and audience, revenue can be distributed across a flat organizational structure.
Film3 gives independent filmmakers unprecedented access to financing; offers them greater creative control over their projects; allows them to leverage their audience and industry connections in new, revolutionary ways; and creates a more equitable financial model that benefits creators before creditors.
With a series of major announcements soon to be revealed, the road to blockchain driven filmmaking in combination with fanbase participation will go through Mogul Productions, and its upcoming metaverse Mogieland. From script to screen, Mogul is thrilled to be a leader in the film and entertainment industry within Film3, the Hollywood version of Web3.
Rapid development of the Mogul NFT and DeFi platform in just one year has put our seal on the new direction of film and entertainment creation. So far, there is no blockchain platform or project on the planet that is addressing the movie industry the way Mogul is.
A gigantic amount of planning and functionality was required to build a crypto platform of this size from the groun d up. This includes coding, development features for users, STARS token development, onboarding, writing and graphics, security development, payment features, metaverse features and successful DeFi movie production and NFT campaigns. On top of all of this is all our technology partnerships with the best resources in the world as seen on Nasdaq, Forbes, and Cointelegraph.
Several Mogul partnered films have already gone through the production process. They are hitting the big screen and international film festivals. New films are being onboarded. By the same time next year, the library of films and entertainment products from script to screen will showcase the rapid changes taking place in the industry and Mogul Production’s leadership in this transition.
Experience the Power of the Crowd
Mogul offers movie fans a piece of the action on the films they support.
There are too many great films out there not getting made, due to the studios holding all of the power and making it nearly impossible for the little guys, including indie filmmakers and movie fans, to have their voices heard. New ways of financing are igniting new trends for indie filmmaking.
Movie fans are becoming a powerful force in the decision making process. The modern movie fan is part of a collective that lets their voice be heard, both online and off. They mobilize and fight for what they are passionate about, to the point that real changes actually get made to Hollywood projects.
Bringing power back to the crowd.
Until Mogul, the mass of enthusiastic movie fans who sought greater involvement in movie production, were an under-served community. This was due to the lack of a platform that would allow the fans to be part of the process to contribute, collaborate, and vote on films and feel a sense of ownership over the content.
The greatest force in the world is compound interest.
Up to 50% of the film’s net proceeds can possibly be distributed back to the voting community, via a blockchain smart contract. If you don’t vote, you don’t get rewards. By voting you are participating in the project and staking tokens. The last winning film from Mogul’s showcase, Terminal Station, had over 30,000 votes.
Terminal Station – movieBonded – MovieReboot Camp – Movie
The trend is your friend.
Digital movie merchandise will be used to promote upcoming releases. Mogul is the platform for independent filmmakers to monetize NFTs as a means of funding their work.
Fans are also part of the process for buying the NFTs especially during the pre-production and production phases of filmmaking. Mogul Productions has previously highlighted this market gap. Utility based NFTs are designed to bring the fans closer to the action via different forms of experiential utility and behind-the-scenes access. A couple of examples of those could be attending red carpet premieres. It could be getting producer credits on a film. It could be getting access to behind-the-scenes content from the production or it could be meeting a lead actor for face time, or one-of-a-kind film posters, and invitations to exclusive events.
The power of how Mogul gets cool stories to the big screen.
This is how voting works. People will vote with their STARS utility token. That gets kept in a smart contract. When the fans help vote for a film, they get access to certain perks.
Sneak peek at Mogieland, Hollywood’s metaverse in its fully-fledged form.
Mogieland is being produced in partnership with the animators that brought The Simpsons series, The Simpsons Movie and VR attractions at Universal Studios Japan. Along with Mogieland will come the first ever NFT animated series. The Mogies animated series is a celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Hollywood sign being erected. Mogul Productions is bringing the fun to the 1923 milestone.
The metaverse will likely leverage Film 3 technology to support real-time CGI rendered simulations of real life on a mass scale. Just like Hollywood, Mogieland will be a shared virtual space where people from around the world will be able to gather, interact, and play, all in real time.
Mogieland is open to all. Mogieland visitors will be able to visit the walkaround environment and partake in the festivities. Hollywood is one of the most highly trafficked tourist destinations in the world. Soon Mogieland will be too. All powered by STARS tokens.
Big reveals from Mogul Productions are coming this year. It’s going to be a fun ride.
Sonic the hedgehog! We all wish we were half as radical as this guy!
After its release in 1991, the SEGA Genesis game quickly grew into a cultural phenomenon spanning multiple generations. However, the last ten years have been quite rough for the makers of the game. After ‘Sonic Generations’ was released in 2007 it seemed like the Sonic team didn’t know what it wanted the series to be anymore. Many argue that the best game to come out during this period was ‘Sonic Mania’, which wasn’t even made by the Sonic team. SEGA enlisted the help of fans to construct it. If it weren’t so sad, that would be amusing. Fans yearned for something fresh, anything that could turn the franchise’s fortunes around.
So, what would that turn out to be? Certainly not a game made by the Sonic team of course. It was time for a movie/CGI adaptation of the legendary game!
It’s no stretch to say that this movie has one of the most fascinating production stories out there. A story of how it almost got thrown into the pile of bad Sonic 2010’s content, but more importantly, how it turned itself into one of the franchise’s biggest successes.
Sony Pictures secured the rights to make a live-action/CGI Sonic the Hedgehog feature film in 2013. Unfortunately, Sony was unable to develop the film, so in 2017, Paramount purchased the rights and things began to move forward.
The fans however were concerned about how a live-action / CGI Sonic was going to look. Sonic the Hedgehog’s first trailer was shown on April 30th, 2019. The trailer, however, caught fire online for all the wrong reasons and it was clear that fans were not happy with the questionable CGI and overall look of the character.
From the iconic white gloves to facial expressions, in an attempt to make Sonic more “real” the team forgot to make him likeable.
The design was received with a barrage of criticism from supporters. It was a complete flop, and fans vented their frustrations on social media with nasty comments and memes.
Reaction channels picked up the noise, Twitter was on fire and it was looking like the beginning of the end…
And there was a possibility that the story would stop there. The film may have been released in November 2019, however, it would have received mixed reviews because it was a good tale that was ultimately pulled down by an unattractive lead character.
Sonic fans would undoubtedly have a good time with it, but it would ultimately be a missed opportunity. With a budget of $90 million, it may have made some money at the box office, but not quite enough to be considered a thrilling success.
Certainly not enough to warrant a sequel or even a continuation of the series. It would be released, people would comment on how unattractive Sonic was, and then it would fall into obscurity.
Good thing none of that happened!
Director Jeff Fowler made an announcement on Twitter three days after the video was aired, thanking fans for their comments and promising that the team was committed to resolving it by going back to the drawing board and altering Sonic’s look based on public feedback!
The result was a completely redesigned Sonic that went on to become the highest-grossing video game adaptation movie, making a whopping USD 319 million in the US alone.
Few films have ever existed solely on their own merits in movie history. A group of fans or a community will always champion a film and argue for its place in the zeitgeist. The success of a film is as much dependent on the audience as it is on the filmmakers.
The story of the Sonic movie is a shining example of community power and voice – something that’s central to us at Mogul Productions. By incorporating blockchain and quadratic voting, we are making sure we create a platform where every fan’s voice is heard.
At Mogul we fund movies from script to screen and thanks to our voting system – the community is involved every step of the way.
Mogul Productions is revolutionizing film financing through decentralized finance (DeFi), allowing a global audience of film fans to directly participate in the movies and entertainment industry.
It’s a platform for film fans, by film fans, empowering users to take an active role in the script-to-screen processes of their favourite movies.
Well… that’s all for now.
