Our official trailer has been “Minted”!
So stoked to share the trailer for my latest film, MINTED premiering this Monday on broadcast and streaming on PBS Independent Lens.
I majored in digital art in school before becoming a documentary filmmaker, and am so grateful to have had the opportunity to go back to my roots on this roller coaster journey through the wild world of NFTs, alongside the incredible artists in the film.
Thank you, thank you, thank you to our whole producing team, crews around the world (over 100 shoot days!), the journalists, collectors, and – most of all – each and every one of the artists for sharing their powerful stories with us.
Tune in 1/6 on PBS, with more news on the film to come in 2025 👀
We're watching that closing of the auction, which closes in an hour and it's already at absolutely ridiculous amount. NFP NFT people are paying 10s of millions of dollars. Oh my God. $69 million, I think it's completely insane. Why didn't think that could be sold for any amount of money. What is an NFT that's not just for digital art? It's like this could be for anything. Up until NFTS I was barely able to pay rent or buy food $900,000 I left to cry. My first piece sold for $30,000 which was a lot for a 15 year old. In Nigeria we've been taught Greenock you can't be an artist but don't have soul and FT's do over 20 collectors. Lost LFTS Medieros. Primer impulso para liberarme de Cuba. I think. I think traditional art is still quite skeptical about NFTS. This is not respectable art. I just bought a Beeple. It's like $65,000. It could certainly be a bubble. It's really cool. FTX collapsed this week after a chain reaction. This started as a digital art movement, but it transformed into one of the largest financial collapses in American history. The NFT market had become the greater fool theory. Everyone just got annihilated. It's someone's life you're playing with and someone's emotions and expressions. You have to be kind of crazy to trade NFT $500,000. One click, all gone. This was old school fraud. What gives Van Gogh value? What gives a Jackson Pollock value? It's got to be a new idea that changes the way people think about art. And I'm trying to do that. We'll see 100 years from now if I've done it.
