Miami, FLA – January 25th, 2024 – Mogul Productions, the pioneering company at the intersection of blockchain technology and the entertainment industry, is thrilled to announce the latest addition to its growing team of industry experts. Gabriel Napora, Yas Taalat, and Ben Lu renowned producers from Electric Panda Entertainment, are joining forces with Mogul Productions to bring their creative vision and expertise to the world of film and television funded through NFTs.
Electric Panda Entertainment, known for its exceptional track record in producing award-winning and blockbuster films, is now set to amplify the impact of Mogul Productions in the entertainment industry. Gabriel Napora, Yas Taalat, and Ben Lu with their proven success, will undoubtedly play a pivotal role in Mogul’s journey towards transforming the way films and TV series are financed and created.
Notable achievements of Electric Panda Entertainment include “The Kindergarten Teacher,” which received the Best Director Award at the Sundance Film Festival, and “Skin,” which was honored with the Critic’s Choice Award at the Toronto International Film Festival. Their impressive portfolio also includes blockbuster hits like “The Informer,” starring Joel Kinnamen, and “Bandit,” starring Josh Duhamel and Mel Gibson.
Electric Panda is bringing new slate of quality film production to Mogul platform this year.
Mogul Productions’ unique approach to film and TV funding through NFTs has been gaining significant traction in the entertainment industry. With this new partnership, the company is poised to achieve even greater heights, combining the innovation of blockchain technology with the creative prowess of Gabriel Napora, Yas Taalat and Ben Lu.
“We are thrilled to welcome Gabriel Napora and Yas Taalat and Ben Lu to the Mogul Productions family,” said Matt Gigault, CEO at Mogul Productions. “Their extensive experience and remarkable achievements in the world of filmmaking align perfectly with our mission to revolutionize the entertainment industry. Together, we look forward to bringing exciting and groundbreaking projects to audiences worldwide.”
Yas Taalat says:
The new Mogul is going to be a complete powerhouse in the Industry. I believe we will become one of the top players in the world for funding creative projects on the net
Gabriel Napora says
Super excited to make Mogul the powerhouse it was meant to be.
Ben Lu says
Mogul’s technology and approach is unlike any other company on earth. They are the only Web 3 Film Finance company and are light years ahead of everyone else. We are thrilled to be a part of this incredible company.
This partnership marks an exciting chapter in the evolution of Mogul Productions and reaffirms its commitment to supporting visionary creators and artists in the world of film and television.
It is with a heavy heart that I am announcing that I will be stepping down as the President of Mogul Productions, but I am incredibly excited for the future prospects of the company and what my resignation means in terms of bringing Mogul to the next level.
Since Mogul’s inception in 2018 I have had the pleasure of founding, launching, and growing the product and business. The accomplishments in the last five years include:
First ever DeFiFi project
Building best in class product
Assembling the best team
One of first-ever NFT projects
Multiple firsts in NFT movie launches
Partnerships with world-class businesses and individuals
The most pride comes with the product that we have built to bridge Web3 and filmmaking. The Mogul product has a true product-market-fit with filmmakers around the world who want to monetize their NFT rights on their film to get their stories told. Over the course of the last 5 years we have heard over and over again from Hollywood that the most difficult part of making a movie is the financing and community building; and that is exactly what Mogul helps filmmakers do.
As I wrote in my 2022 Year in Review, Mogul’s next step is to become ingrained into the Hollywood fabric as a mainstream tool for filmmakers to use when taking their projects from ideation to distribution, where STARS, NFTs, and Mogul Metaverse products are used for film financing, fan engagement, and distribution.
To become a multi-billion dollar company Mogul needs to transcend from a niche Web3 community to a world-wide film community using our Web3 products. Mogul needs to grow mainstream users who are using our film Web3 products every day for the betterment of making their movies.
Over the last 9 months I have been working with the Web3 Venture Studio, Aventus Ventures, to make a strategic investment in Mogul and place the proper C-Suite level team members within leadership positions in Mogul to take it to the next level. Early on in our discussions, it was clear that we would need a seasoned Hollywood team that has access to a large catalog of movies and talent. This is something that, to date, we have not done well with Mogul. We have excelled at Web3 development, business relationships, and community building, but have lacked mainstream adoption.
Aventus Ventures has created a Joint Venture partnership between Mogul Productions and Electric Panda Entertainment, whereby Electric Panda’s esteemed team will take over C-Level management of Mogul Productions to operate the film side of the business and Aventus Ventures’ internal team of Web3 professionals will oversee Web3 strategy and development.
With the addition of Matt Gigault as CEO I’m confident under his leadership he will take Mogul to new heights
Electric Panda’s accolades and team members include:
EP’s on the film that took Best Director Award at Sundance – Kindergarten Teacher in 2018. KT also played in Berlin and Tribeca and Hampton’s.
Gabriel Napora and Yas Taalat have been EP’s on some of the most critically acclaimed films of the last 5 years Including:
The Kindergarten Teacher
Skin
Driveways
A Mouthful of Air
The Informer
Ms Purple
And many others.
I have the utmost faith and have done incredible due diligence on this deal to ensure that Mogul is in the right hands to bring the business to the next level. I will remain on the Advisory Board for Mogul and do not see this as a good-bye forever, but rather a transition to put the business into the hands of the right people who have the capability to bring Mogul the notoriety and recognition in Web3 and Hollywood that it deserves
Mogul Productions Inc. Announces New CEO Matt Gigault,
Miami, FLA – January 24th, 2024 – Mogul Productions Inc., a pioneering film finance company revolutionizing the industry through blockchain and NFT technology, is thrilled to announce the appointment of its new CEO, Matt Gigault. With an illustrious career in the finance sector and a track record of securing significant funding for a diverse array of companies, Gigault is poised to steer Mogul towards unprecedented growth and success in the Web 3.0 era.
Under Gigault’s leadership, Mogul is set to expand its innovative approach to film financing. The company’s unique model uses NFTs to democratize the funding process, allowing individuals to purchase these digital assets to support and finance exciting film and television projects. This not only generates the necessary capital but also fosters a community of film enthusiasts and investors who have a stake in the success of the projects they choose to support.
Mr. Gigault says
This is a brand new beginning for Mogul. A reset. I’m very enthusiastic about the transformative synergy between movie production and blockchain technology. The film industry’s cultural impact is immense, shaping the way we perceive and engage with the world. As we contemplate this intersection, blockchain introduces unprecedented possibilities for innovation.
Imagine a future where blockchain secures every stage of film production, from funding to distribution. This not only ensures transparent financial transactions but also facilitates efficient, secure, and creative collaboration among stakeholders.
In embracing this collaboration, we’re not just redefining industry standards; we’re ushering in a new era of cinematic storytelling. Blockchain’s decentralized nature empowers creators and audiences alike, offering a more inclusive and engaging cinematic experience.

As we look back on 2022, there were certainly plenty of ups and downs to learn from and share our insights with the community.

Moderation of our communities, specifically in Telegram, has been taken on by community members passionate about the project, which is an amazing sign for the growth of our communities and shows that Mogul is stronger than just the internal talent working day-to-day on the project
Our efforts in 2022 have been to support the following goals:
Reward our NFT holders with in-real-life (IRL) events close to Hollywood
Scale the Mogul platform to launch more movies and thus pass on more rewards and benefits to our NFT holders and STARS holders
Make STARS more accessible globally and give more use cases within the Mogul platform
Advertise Mogul across the world in a cost-effective manner to grow in users and the size of our community
Improve the Mogul platform to increase revenue for the Mogul ecosystem to pass on these rewards to our community
What’s in store for 2023?
Mogul’s mission is to reimagine film production, distribution and fan participation using the power of the crowd through blockchain technology. The benefits of using blockchain include transparency, tracking, security, and stakeholder ownership.
Our vision is to be the future of film through the power of the crowd.
The core Mogul platform has been over-developed in 2022 in a great way – we now have the tools to accomplish these goals in a more efficient manner and the dashboard experience to support a growing user base. We expect, with the exception of Mogieland, that development time on the core Mogul platform will be significantly reduced and more time can be spent improving the product.
The Mogul product has made major strides in this mission, launching a film financing portal where filmmakers can raise funds and exploit NFT rights on their film through NFTs, creating partnerships with networks of over 6 Metaverses with film studios for films launching on Mogul to stream and premiere their films in Metaverse locations to engage their NFT holders, and re-engineering the Mogul quadratic voting portal, where fans can vote on key aspects of the production process.
Our goals are in scaling and becoming the premiere place where Film3 lives and projects come to to leverage NFT technology to exploit movie rights and engage fanbases. In addition, a big focus will be in the creation of protocol revenue for the community. When we analyze successful products and tokens in tangential niches to movies (music, sports, etc.) they are all excellent at creating protocol revenue and passing those rewards on to their supporters to continue growing.
We want to be introspective while listening to the community, partners, and industry titans in entertainment in how they can best leverage Mogul. This will help us to grow, scale, and align with top partners.
From Mogul, expect:
More movie launches
Progress on the Mogieland launch
Progress on the Mogies animated series
Metaverse collaborations
STARS accessibility partnerships & integrations
More IRL utility for Mogies & Access Passes
More multi-language communities being grown and built
Bear market marketing strategies to grow the community
Premiere partnerships
In regards to Mogieland, which many of our community members are very excited about, Mogul President Lisa Sun posted an introspective explanation of Mogul’s thought process and timelines that you can read here.
In summary, Mogul’s thesis has never been more true. Studios are learning and becoming more inclined to use NFTs for their movies. With the Metaverse, the short-term hype has died down since the rebranding of Facebook and the subsequent run-up, but fans and moviegoers are still showing that they want a way to deeply connect globally to their favourite films. Mogul is not simply launching Mogieland to increase hype, but to build a connected ecosystem of content consumers and content creators. Right now, metaverses across the industry are lacking users, posing barriers to meaningful partnerships to be made with top studios. We are continuing to build and strategize a proper rollout for Mogieland so that the launch meets expectations across the industry.
The lack of consumer interest in metaverses throughout the back half of 2022 is illustrated by the Google Trends analysis, showing the search volume from consumers for the word “Metaverse” across the last 5 years.
Where are we looking to improve?
We want more movies to launch on Mogul now that we have the best platform in the world to support FIlm3.
Other goals to improve on are:
Launching more voting opportunities for our community to vote on aspects of movie production in partnership with the films launching on Mogul; whereby giving more use cases for STARS on the Mogul platform and including our community more in the script-to-screen process
Qualify, close, and launch more mainstream movies to launch on Mogul that have global appeal
Streamline our business development process to decrease the time to market for films
Decentralize and involve the community of token holders more in the decision-making processes through voting
Growing our leadership team to bring in esteemed professionals in entertainment to help bring Mogul to the next level
Partnering with public film investment vehicles to bring more capital to the Mogul platform
To accomplish these goals we have revamped our business development process and coupled it with our technology to operate at a better scale.
We have improved our movie vetting process, have decreased our time-to-market for NFT campaigns by months, and have adjusted our onboarding documentation for filmmakers to make it clear on how they can succeed using Mogul.
We will be putting these to action in 2023 and evaluating how we can continue improving these processes.
How does value accrue to our community?
We want Mogul to become a circular protocol, where Mogul is striving to achieve goals that benefit our community, and vice versa. This can be done with small tweaks to operations to make sure that we’re providing circular value.
As you know, as part of STARS token economics, STARS are removed from circulation via supernovas when STARS are used on Mogul. Mogul movie profits are also used to reward holders and vote on where the funding will go. Thus far, the movies launched on Mogul have not yet reached profitability due to delayed distribution and production on the filmmakers. These are variables that Mogul does not control and was a primary reason why we, in 2022, embarked on producing our own animated series (Mogies) where we could control more variables to reward our holders.
In order to create larger supernovas, provide more perks to our holders from movies, and have protocol revenue to allow holders to vote on, we need to launch more films via the Mogul platform.
More films launching means that more STARS will be spent on the platform, more movies will offer rewards to our community, and more movies will have a chance at reaching profitability.
We expect Q1 2023 to bring our community more leadership to the Mogul team, more capital partners, and partnerships with premiere exchanges.
Mogul Productions is working with NFT-powered land conservation group Chain Fangs on a first-of-its-kind effort to leverage blockchain technology in order to make the City of Angels a more hospitable place for the thousands of plant and animal species that call it home. Chain Fangs is a philanthropic organization, which is using NFTs as a medium to buy back land with endangered animals under threat in Hollywood.
The Hollywood Hills in Los Angeles is one of the most famous and recognizable landscapes in the U.S. It is the location of countless sprawling celebrity mansions and the iconic Hollywood sign. But it’s not just a playground for the rich and famous, it’s also one of the most diverse wildlife areas in the country. Parts of the land in the area to be sold for commercial development have ecological consequences.
Chain Fangs has created and will be selling NFTs to fund its purchasing of undeveloped land in the Hollywood Hills from private owners. Each individual NFT is a piece of a striking wildlife image provided by partners at the Citizens for Los Angeles Wildlife (CLAW). Once the land is purchased, Chain Fangs will place it under protection with an easement to the Santa Monica Mountain Conservancy. These and other key partnerships with environmental protection groups in Los Angeles will help preserve the parcels of land and protect the wildlife within it.
The project serves as an opportunity to showcase how NFTs can be harnessed by a group of like-minded individuals to generate positive change in the world. The nature of the technology allows individuals to play a real part in aiding a cause they’re passionate about and facilitate grassroots efforts on an unprecedented scale. NFT holders will have a voice in determining any improvements that will be made to the preserved land parcels, including the placement of things like hummingbird feeders or strategically positioned benches with dedication plaques.
According to UCLA research, L.A. is home to over 4,000 distinct species of animals and plants, including 52 endangered species, all of which live between and among the vast urban center’s millions of human inhabitants. Chain Fangs is selling NFTs to help preserve these precious natural resources and show how the crypto community can take critical conservation efforts into their own hands.
The U.S. has some of the most robust and dedicated conservation organizations on the planet, but red tape, regulations, and bureaucratic processes often get in the way of their efforts. By using blockchain technology and tapping into the enthusiastic crypto community, Chain Fangs believes it can fast track conservation efforts like never before.
We’ve already seen that great things can happen when crypto enthusiasts come together for a common cause, whether it’s getting films funded, or helping protect the rainforest, crypto users can make it happen.
Holders will also be eligible for additional perks, like access to private events hosted with environmental and NFT experts, access to a private Discord chat with videos and updates from the “Fang Gang” itself, and sneak peeks of exclusive upcoming land drops before they’re announced to the rest of the community.
While Chain Fangs is starting its massive group effort in Hollywood, its long-term vision is to bring the same crowdsourced fundraising model to more states and different natural resources. Much like how Mogul Productions works to up-end the established film financing model with NFT technology, Chain Fangs believes the same technology can be used to rapidly advance wildlife conservation efforts.

Access Pass holders get even more insider benefits and perks, including access to exclusive events held around Mogul-produced film releases.
Mogul Productions, a DeFi and NFT marketplace platform for the film and entertainment industry, is collaborating with Beem, which offers a web3 video live streaming and distribution solution.
The partnership will see Mogul’s native token, STARS, be integrated into Beem’s ecosystem. Beem users will be able to pay with STARS to consume Web3 content directly on the platform.
STARS is the utility and governance token that fuels the Mogul ecosystem. It enables Mogul users to buy NFTs (non-fungible tokens) on its marketplace, vote on which film projects to get funded, receive discounts on purchases, earn returns for staking, and redeem exclusive rewards.
Beem is the place where content creators use advanced video and NFT tools to meet with their communities. For Mogul creators, the partnership will bring new monetization and community utility opportunities. Producers, artists and creators on Mogul can use Beem to partake in token-gated events, live experiences, and screenings. The collaboration will enable Mogul to monetize add-ons or charge streaming fees, including to users who don’t own NFTs.
Beem is fueled by its native token $Beem. The platform supports a new generation of emerging creators, which focus on the ownership economy and value independence. Creators build real communities through direct relationships instead of renting audiences from social media platforms. The latter can be used to funnel new followers into a customized space that is fully controlled and owned by creators. NFTs empower creators by offering transparent and customizable monetization options.
With Beem, Mogul will further be able to meet the demands of the new generation of Web3 content creators, giving them the opportunity to leverage some of the best blockchain and NFT tools in the industry. One of the key achievements of the partnership is that NFT holders on Mogul can partake in token-gated events. For example, if a film that partnered with Mogul had a virtual meet and greet or BTS screening, NFT holders could verify their NFT on the Beem App and then interact with that content.

Jake Fraser believes that DAOs can let fans get involved from the scriptwriting process to the selection of actors who will play in a film.
As more people begin to integrate Web3 technologies into entertainment and production, the use case for decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) in filmmaking has been highlighted in a Cointelegraph interview with Jake Fraser, the head of business development at the film-focused blockchain project Mogul Productions.
When it comes to DAO usage in films, a deeper level of fan engagement was highlighted by Fraser. As an example, the executive pointed out the involvement of fans in the production process, such as in creating the script, choosing stories and picking the location. He explained that:
“DAOs come into play within the film industry by enabling the fans to become more involved with decision making through the whole script to screen process of making a film.”
