With the popularity and reach of cryptocurrency growing by the day, it’s not too surprising that a new company would come along and apply it to the struggling film industry.
But there’s still an undeniable milestone in the announcement that Mogul Productions, a startup aimed at bringing DeFi to filmmaking, has started post production with a movie funded using blockchain technologies.
