## Транскрипт

### Segment 1 (00:00 - 05:00) []

what did you learn from them I learned that it's really challenging to take something that's in your head or on the page and translate it to what's on the screen there's a real craft in that is the art of directing uh in my humble opinion and so like that just takes practice right like that's just trial and error of having a vision doing what you think is needs to be done to execute that vision and then seeing if it worked seeing what the finished product looks like um so that takes it that takes time you know my most recent short though it's called Harmony in Golden and it wound up looking better than what I had in my mind and so like when I achieved that I felt okay I'm ready to do a feature and um and yeah I got into the nft space about a year ago my Genesis drop was in October which was a series of 100 photographs that I took uh at the Madonna Inn hotel amazing location and uh those photos inspired the screenplay for what's now going to be my first feature film and also for the photos of keepers of the Inn right we did we took almost 3 400 photos during the rehearsal process of that movie and dropped them as nfts uh as you know as a as a means to get the film funded and as well as uh trigger some other grants to onboard more women into the nft space More film female filmmakers I love that hold on one second uh everybody who's listening Dustin do we have some audio problems on my end interesting give me one second how about now oh I might have to stop it do we want to do that or yeah let's just keep it going can you guys hear me okay we'll just keep it going awesome let's keep that part in the podcast I want everybody to know everything I believe in full transparency big shout out to Justin and Seth for helping us Julie let's keep it going so well let's talk about photography nfts so I think one of the things that attracted me to your project is I was just going down rabbit holes of people that were in photography and were active in the nft community I saw you very active then Phil Toronto our mutual homies like I love Julie I was like okay I gotta actually get around to really pay if you're a friend of Phil's mine I gotta really look at this and then when I kind of finally had a second to breathe and look at it I'm like wait a minute this is also tied into movie making I'm very hot on music and books being funded through nft projects of course I believe in scripts movies and television shows being the same um but before we get into that film stuff I want to talk about just photography nfts what's your take do you agree with me that there's a real potential obviously when we look at the real world art is a bigger Market than photography art but photography Art's a son of a [ __ ] it's big there are people there's you know I [ __ ] spend a ton of money on an Andy Warhol [ __ ] Kodak little you know like little you know of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar like and then you know there's obviously uh my um deal from college uh Dustin Bingham his father was the legendary Howard Bingham who was one of the iconic black photographers and I know his work so you know a can you educate me because I'm not that educated on how big the real world photography collecting world is or maybe that's not your expertise and B what do you think about photography nft because you could have fundraised you could have done this for the movie not through photography you could have done it through ART or drawings or doodle nfts yeah I mean the choice to do this with photography was organic because this the screenplay was based off of photos so the whole process of this has been quite organic and photography I don't know about photography collecting in real life to be honest because as a professional photographer my work is more in photographing for brand campaigns and uh product stuff and so and you know all album art and stuff that's like a little bit more um client based but um but I definitely think that there that this explosion of Photography nfts is real and is going to continue its trajectory because I think there's a real when it comes to one of one Photography in my opinion there's no real need for utility it stands alone as this Captured Moment this sort of piece of Fine Art and I don't think that there's another medium in the space that does it that

### Segment 2 (05:00 - 10:00) [5:00]

well um that's coming from me who obviously my photos for Keepers of the comes with utility but the only reason that those photos come with utility is because it's again organic it's like I'm trying to bridge that gap between film and photography so I don't know there's just something like as a collector even like I've collected uh tons of Photography and there's just something so magical about seeing an image online and being able to earn that moment and so I think that it's just really we're poised for photography to continue to explode have you collected physical Photography in your life or no I mean yeah sure I have like not in a not from like a fine art gallery or I've not dropped a bunch of my I've spent more money on photography nfts than I have on in real life uh photography but I love having it in my place but I don't know it's I sometimes at night I'll just scroll through my wallet and look at my beautiful photography collection I it's there's something so gratifying about it I agree I think people are really underestimating the digital world they're like you can't touch it I'm like guess what I can look at it in my bed on my phone and not have to get up and put on the lights in my apartment and see my art like it's like there's pros and cons to everything there's I love physical but I love digital and it's a game of and not war um speaking about and not or let's talk about that so you sell out do you start getting a lot of random emails over the next day or a week yeah I mean I'd still it was three weeks ago today and it's uh it's still things are still pouring in but yeah for sure it exploded um it was incredibly validating and exciting I put almost 3 400 of my photos out and you know as a Creator how vulnerable and experience it is to put your artwork out like that and so the responses have been amazing sure because it's the first film funded and also because of the utility but mainly the thing that's felt the best is just people's response to the artwork and how it's inspiring them and introductions where do people find it on Open scene other platforms it's oh keepers of the end. art is our website which can lead you to openc for the secondary sales um yeah for everybody it's keepers of the end on open C and it's verified um if you're looking for what it is so are people reaching out with the main question of how did you do this yeah we've yeah definitely have gotten a lot of people interested in uh picking my brain and wanting to know how they can apply it to their film projects for sure that's but I'm happy to talk about that I love talking about the process it was so fun super stressful but super fun to put this drop together and I think it's a model that can really work for a lot of people so I'm like I I've answered every DM that I've gotten and had a bunch of follow-up calls I just I want to spread the word you know I get bombarded by people asking me Gary this stuff is so expensive ethereum like you know what's a good value nft I think the photography space in general is a good value nft with the right projects I mean Julie has to go out and make this matter to people you know obviously it's going to have this historic nature of being one of the first if not the first I just haven't done my homework but it seems like it it's a fun this way and sell out so that might make it collectible but um like every project the artist and the company need to make people care so when is the movie how does the movie play out like when does it come How does it go yeah so we're shooting in uh we're shooting this summer gotta we have to pick an exact date but it's at some point towards the end of this summer and then probably around this time next year everything will be nice and finished and we'll do a big event and screening in La where people can come or holders can come or live stream in uh we'll set up some things so you're probably thinking through a lot right now of like the 3 000 plus people that are holding what the benefits are going to be I mean there's it's there's extensive utility that now we're just kind of like now we're just figuring out when to trickle this the utility out and what our sort of benchmarks are for everything but the main thing that we're doing which I started two weeks ago is uh every two weeks we're going to do a town hall where I'm going to update the community on where I'm at in the creative process and just be candid and share uh share my vision and hopefully get some of the art collectors to weigh in and let me know their thoughts and um and help kind of guide me to make the best possible version of this film that I can with the community's support thank you what are you worried about

### Segment 3 (10:00 - 11:00) [10:00]

uh what am I worried about I mean I guess this is the volatility of ethereum I don't that would be like I mean um did you convert the ethereum into USD so you can start doing your thing yeah we took what we needed to be able to execute the pressing utility items um but yeah I mean that's a thing and I believe wholeheartedly in nfts and I and cryptocurrency and I'm I don't you know I think it's a long-term thing that's going to last but um just kind of you know worrying about mainstream's aversion to it and um the conflict that comes with that but that's honestly such a minor thing and when it comes to the project I I truly it's like I wake up every morning feeling so inspired and excited final thoughts what did we not get to in this fun little interview anything uh you want to leave people with um yeah I mean just I again just stating that as someone who's now hopefully paved this way for more people to come like please just get in touch with me I want to be able how do they get in touch with you on uh on Twitter at Julie underscore Pacino um the nft community everyone's so accessible and that's what I love about it and so I just I I'm I am the same way and I love talking about the process and geeking out over movies and helping provide whatever Insight that I can so I just love connecting with people and I um you know I hope if anyone listening or anyone that sees my art likes the art and wants to talk about it like please get in touch with me because that's what I live for honestly Julie thanks for being on the show thanks for having me Gary
