1. Are you planning to screen in theaters?

2. How / when can we watch online?

Honestly just learning how long editing takes for a feature documentary, had no idea before. Standard to have 1 month of editing work (or more) for every 10 minutes of finished footage

To @linda: what is the most interesting thing you've learned about film production from this experience?

To the production team: what is the most interesting thing you've learned about Ethereum?

/ethereum foundation | opinions are my own but more than likely they come from Vitalik's blog paragraph.xyz/@chaskin

sounds amazing zach. looking forward to the film and that series as well.

Documentaries always evolve in the process of making them because we never know what story will unfold. It’s the fun and challenge in making them. Focusing on Vitalik, and taking a character-driven approach to the film, allowed us to make the film more accessible to a broader audience, while also allowing us to focus on someone who we felt represented the larger values and ethos of the community. This film is the centerpiece of our “Ethereum Stories” series. We’ll be sharing additional stories each week starting on July 30th that focus on topics like community, generative art, DAOs, public goods, DEX’s and more—all through a human lens!

Excited for the movie!

I'm curious about your decision to focus on Vitalik. His contributions are undeniably amazing, but I'm interested in understanding the choice considering Ethereum's unique structure where no single person owns it

Elevating onchain creators 

@nodefoundation @brightmoments 
@ampsfun

I think we filmed in 28 cities in 15 different countries. And that barely scratched the surface of how many places we wanted to include lol

Vitalik is a core part, but there's so much more in it. A single film couldn't capture the full story of Ethereum—this is an ecosystem too diverse and vast for one film—but seeing the community through Vitalik’s eyes helped us make this story accessible, human, and focused. This film is the centerpiece of our “Ethereum Stories” series where we’ll be sharing additional stories each week that focus on topics like community, generative art, DAOs, public goods, DEX’s and more—all through a human lens!

will the film be only about vitalik, or will it expand beyond him?

What was the most unexpected thing you learned?

Farcaster maxi | crypto, photography, politics | third cycle boomer | sales by day, onchain antics by night

You'll be able to view the entire film on our website ethereumfilm.xyz if you hold the onchain ticket (NFT)

Can you give more details on what "onchain streaming" means for this film?

A doodler and computerer. I like permissive/permissionless open source, smart contracts, p2p systems, room-scale VR, and NixOS.

We have some great archival from the early days of the internet, but also feature some home video footage that was generously provided to us by Vitalik and Dima.

When did you first start gathering footage for the film? What is the earliest footage that you ended up using?

truly! didn't fully grasp what the term "digital nomad" meant until we started making this film!

Honestly, I thought decentralization was a buzzword until I really saw the community of builders in action around the world.

what was the most surprising thing you learned while making the film?

Thanks everyone for joining!  You can check out the trailer and read all about our distribution plan @ ethereumfilm.xyz We're also hosting a leaderboard for the next two days-- top minters earn rewards like a special screening, credits and exclusive NFTs.

Hi everyone! Looking forward to questions :)

Thank you Linda! Excited to talk to you all about wild and wonderful process over the past 3 years.

first q: can i mint the trailer in a farcaster frame here? :)

second q: how did you guys find each other and decide you were the right team to direct and produce the film together?

The feature film "Vitalik: An Ethereum Story" is 83 minutes! And the short films that make up the full "Ethereum Stories" series will range from 5-15 minutes.

@linda appears in the movie, just kidding lol, how long does it last?

We can definitely add Japanese to our list!

Will this movie have subtitles in Japanese?
If not, please consider doing so as there are many Vitalik and Ethereum fans in Japan.

Yep! There will be worldwide premieres on Sept 18th, we also need help hosting screenings internationally

Awesome. What kind of help are you looking for? Btw, I know that amazon has a platform for screenings. I've used it to attend a local screening https://amazonscreenings.com/local_screenings

thanks, @christemple - all the best for the launch ahead!

2: The first shoot was with Vitalik and Aya. It was a whirlwind for our team because it felt like an entirely new language and world to learn!

congrats on finally putting this out. 

1. is this also focused for people outside the crypto space to get more aware of the industry?

2. how was the first day of the shoot looked like?

Dude from Florida and founder of /insider-trading.

Wow thanks so k uh for sharing dude. I would love the chance to go to a hackathon with @vitalik.eth. 🤯

Thanks for the film and AMA

100% I'd do it again! I grew in a family that only used Linux operating systems and was obsessed with open source idealogy. This was my chance to finally scratch that old itch and learn from people who are a modern manifestation of that community. It was a challenging film to make accessible to a broader audience but I hope we finally got there in the end. 

I think the experience I will treasure the most was when Vitalik and I visited Ukraine for the Kyiv Tech Conference and were able to talk to local hackers who were part of the hackathon there.

I would love to know what the most surprising or interesting thing that you learned from the experience is.

And I always like to ask people, “would you do it again?”

Thanks for putting this on and for creating the documentary. Looking forward to it! 🤙🏼
