‘Blair Witch,’ ‘Host’ Filmmakers Launch $25,000 Web3 Horror Film Award

Decentralized Pictures (DCP), a web3 film funding platform, has partnered with the creators of famous horror films "The Blair Witch Project" and "Host" to launch a funding opportunity for horror short filmmakers. They are offering two grants of up to $25,000 each. Founded in 2021, DCP combines blockchain technology and decentralized decision making to apply DAO governance structures to film funding. Filmmakers can submit their scripts, concept art, and pitch videos until February 28, 2025. The DCP community will vote on the projects, and a panel of filmmaking mentors will select the winners. The winners will receive guidance from industry professionals and have the opportunity to collaborate with horror production companies. DCP reimburses community members for their participation through the FILMCredits crypto token, which can be used to propose projects or vote on them. DCP aims to support independent filmmakers and give a voice to those who need it in the filmmaking industry. The platform has already helped raise funds for various films with the support of well-known industry figures.
