DAO Funds Transform Nouns NFTs into Action Comedy Movie

Blazing a trail, a beloved NFT collection undergoes a remarkable metamorphosis into the captivating action comedy film 'Nouns: A Movie’, financed by NounsDAO.

• Atrium, a network of independent Web3 artists, has released the pilot for ‘Nouns: A Movie’, an episodic series that transforms a popular NFT collection into entertainment.

• ‘The Rise of Blus: A Nouns Movie’ is an animated film funded by a DAO, led by former animators from Pixar, Netflix, and Marvel.

• The project has a budget of $2.75 million, distributed based on the team's progress.

• Set in the floating cloud city of Blus, the action comedy follows a courageous 13-year-old Noun who uncovers a plot by aristocrats to enslave citizens.

• In March, the NounsDAO community approved the proposal to fund the film. Atrium creatives, including William Yu, HKJay, Zen Doubt, 3DPrint Guy, and Meta Ent, are actively involved in the writing, production, and animation process.

• The film's remote production approach allows for quicker decision-making and cost efficiency, resulting in a significantly faster production timeline than traditional studios.
