Cryptocurrency payment infrastructure leader, MoonPay<\/a>, and esteemed NFT artist and photographer, Julie Pacino<\/a>, have unveiled an innovative partnership centered around Pacino\u2019s debut feature-length film. The film is inspired by her NFT-native photography collections, \u2018I Live Here Now\u2019 and \u2018Keepers of the Inn.\u2019 Pacino, a long-time proponent of NFTs and Web3, has made a name for herself, even taking part in TIMEPieces\u2019 Build a Better Future Genesis drop in 2021.<\/span><\/p>\n Through her \u201cI Live Here Now\u201d collection, Pacino could dive deep into character development using photographic stills, ultimately creating a psychological horror film. The plot revolves around a struggling actress who faces her resurfacing childhood trauma while staying at a secluded hotel in the woods, where she encounters a mysterious presence that forces her to question her reality.<\/span><\/p>\n I Live Here Now pic.twitter.com\/VBLEB5bWTq<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Julie Pacino (@Julie_Pacino) March 22, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n While this film marks Pacino\u2019s first feature-length project, she has previously directed several well-received short films under her production company, Tiny Apples, such as Hard Work, Nowhere to Go, and Harmony in Gold. Pacino strongly advocates for implementing Web3 technology in the film industry, asserting that NFTs liberate artists<\/a> from depending solely on major studios and crowdfunding platforms for financing.<\/span><\/p>\n In a recent press release, Pacino expressed her enthusiasm for teaming up with MoonPay, explaining, \u201cI want to help pave the way for the next generation of artists entering Web3, which is why I\u2019ve aligned with MoonPay, as they have built a platform that makes the entry easy, efficient, and effective.\u201d<\/em> She emphasized the significance of visibility for NFT artists, especially women and the LGBTQIA+ community, and expressed hope that the partnership will broaden access to Web3 and amplify film projects.<\/span><\/p>\n This collaboration follows MoonPay\u2019s acquisition of Web3 creative agency Nightshift, which has since been rebranded as Otherlife. MoonPay\u2019s goal is to onboard as many people as possible to Web3, and supporting Pacino\u2019s work could substantially enhance its brand awareness and overall objectives.<\/span><\/p>\n In the press release, Tom Capone, Head of Entertainment at MoonPay, shared his excitement about the partnership, stating, \u201cWe are thrilled to be a part of I Live Here Now, a historic project that highlights the power of Web3 to create community, break boundaries, and allow artists to share their stories.\u201d<\/em> He commended Pacino\u2019s trailblazing efforts in Web3 and predicted that her project would become a milestone in modern filmmaking.<\/span><\/p>\n Apart from the feature film, Pacino is collaborating with MoonPay on a new NFT portrait series called Hollywood Mornings, scheduled for release later this year. This partnership represents a bold move towards integrating Web3 technology, NFTs, and filmmaking, providing a glimpse into the future of decentralized and democratized creative industries.<\/span><\/p>\n Want more?
