PANews reported on October 23rd that according to CoinDesk, film financing is changing through tokenization and SEC-exempt (Reg CF) crowdfunding, allowing thousands of non-accredited investors to participate and distributing dividends and secondary trading via blockchain. Robert Rodriguez raised $2 million from 2,000 fans, Pressman Film raised $2 million for its original slate and began receiving returns within six months, and Eli Roth's horror film studio reached its $5 million Reg CF fundraising limit. The article stated that this model enhances creators' ability to retain their IP and creative freedom, while making film and television accessible alternative assets.
