It was one of those rare days when the planets were in perfect alignment - the day Steemit found me! No luckier could I be!

I love your enthusiasm. When I first got to know what Steemit was about I could see it was the future. It's not perfect, but it lacks most of the downsides of conventional services. I look forward to seeing where you take this and I hope your enthusiasm spreads to others in the industry

Thank you! Steemit will be what we make it! Steemit = doing!

I love this idea! I'd love to chat about this in either steemit.chat or discord, please feel free to DM me.

Will do! Thanks.

I know we can! Not only as a film project but as a life project on its own.
You mean, the film is produced by the community, by the creativity of the crowd, let me put it.
That would have an immense impact on the whole development in entertainment production as a whole.

Thanks and yes. In the script writing stage think of the community as a sounding board - they read along blog for blog as the script moves forward. The screenwriter can accept or reject the ideas put forth. Then when the script is locked down the community will see blog for blog in real time the pre-production, production, post production and the World wide release on Steemit! I need to think more on the methodology and Ned and the boys (Steemit) will need to think about the technical difficulties but... you get the idea.

Let me suggest to make a film on the change itself ...
Let us be the change and create, to start with, a trailer about

steemit

Only a short one.
Steady 2 second footages

It certainly does have a nice ring. @alisawonderland was also thinking of doing something like this - you should check out her work it is amazing. Here is her short film "Hate":

Thanks. I followed her.

This is somehow creepy!

Steemit is an exciting place to get involved with. This sounds like an ambitious and fun project -perfect for the Steemit community.

I also believe in the tremendous power that Blockchain technology can offer the world. Especially the STEEM blockchain in particular. It is an opportunity to give a bank to the un-banked as well as a possible income. It also has the power to give a voice to those who dont have one. Not to mention the limitless possibilities for creators. The possibilities truly are mind expanding @brain-rhodes. I am looking forward to hearing more about your ideas collaborating/contributing in anyway I can.

Nicely said! And yes. Keep the comments coming, please.

A mix of almost reality TV of distopian feel, documentary style including the real crowd behind the making of Steem, switching over to a sci-fi utopian style highlighting the potential of what has been conceived in potential on the STEEMIT platform and its family of blockchain related projects!?

With your expertise, the sky and all it stars is the limit! Great idea, thanks. All for one and one for all! Namaste :)

I think I get it? So, yes! :)

Yes that's a great vision and I totally concur with your vision @brian-rhodes !! So maybe a film premiere or release of film through steemit platform ! Where the film could be viewable by another account once it has voted or donated the entrance fee to this " steemit cinema "!! Go Brian ! Go Cinema and Go Steemit )

That's an idea! Thanks. Just the type of thoughts we need to explore. Our Trojan horse! Look out La La Land! Ha!

Yeah seems me and you wanna fight the La La Landers too ? ) Yes all is possible here in time I hope !! We do need to pop an awful lot of bubbles around us it would seem ! What better way than by putting it to work on Steemit ?

Yes. Time and patience!

yes well we have been too patient and well....seems times run short, so better get a move on then I think )

it's nice to learn something interesting, thank you for sharing. ;-)) I believe that steemit will become more successful.

Yes! This! Marketing and the Steemit blockchain is something to be very excited about!

It's going to be fun and funny! Ha!

I share that feeling and the vision with you.
I'm up for the wild ride with you and
our fellow steemians.

Hope to see this get started ASAP
and we don't have to be too patient.
WOOOH!

So much potential! Invigorating, yes.

Good...

Great idea and glad you're here... Upvoted & followed!

Thanks.

Sounds like a great idea....

i totally share your thinkings, it happens to me everytime i go on steemit, this feeling that everything can happen and what it could be a dream can really come true, it's a real sandbox for artists or anyone who share their stories. I am a computer graphics artist and have lot of fun sharing things with others. Steemit has a very huge potential. Have a very nice day Mr Rhodes.

Thanks for the encouragement. Graphic artists play a huge role in film! Looking forward to following you.

Thank you so much. I am honored, your videos are very inspiring. We are a big family in movie industry ,-)

Such an engaging community, So glad people of all different walks of life jump in and join.

A thought when shared is a window to friendship = Steemit.

"All friends start off as strangers" Stoked to see more of your posts, gonna follow.

After watching your video, I feel like I just got out of a motivational Monday morning sales meeting. I am excited, pumped, feeling lucky, like I am in the right place at the right time. This is not only going to be fun to watch, but it's going to be fun being a part of it. Go Steemit and my fellow Steemians!

Ha! Guess what I did for a short time in one of my previous lives?! Yikes! Thanks for the comment and we'll make it fun. Take care.

Going to share this with my Indie filmmaker friends, Thank you!

Please, please do! Steemit = Filmmakers.

That is such a brilliant idea. +++!!

A good script can go a long way to making a project work. I've participated in the 48 Hour Film Project where budgets of $100 are not uncommon. Yeah, not feasible for a feature-length film, but shorts can be done on a shoestring.

Wow! Next time, document the whole process and share blog for blog in real time culminating in showing us the finished project. Go for it!

Well we at beyond bitcoin look forward to helping teach you about all the empowering use cases beyond bitcoin if u have interest. Steem is one of multiple amazing use cases for blockchain tech that GIVES POWER BACK to people. Most importantly though...the influentials actions are all all on the blockchain so it emables a level of transparency and accountability only matched by double ledger book keeping in terms of paradigm changing ledger tech.

My lord is the blockchain a sexy and powerful configuration of 1s and 0s.

True... and funny!

whhooops...sorry. tech makes me talk dirty sometimes. should probably only talk in private chats. odd ive been the one the community blessed with support for a podcast/hangout series. Maybe they all have the same tech fetish... D:

Nice post :)) i will upvote and follow you @brian-rhodes

Thank you!

Ok, @brian-rhodes.. you've got my attention. :) I feel like some days I suffer from excessive steemit inspiration, and I become numb to it... (sigh) but when people like you tell passionate stories (...and yes it IS all about stories ;) you make films like this much closer to reality. Thanks for the daily dose of, Yes it is possible! I will return the favor =) Cheers!

It would be cool with algorithmic payback to 'blockchain shareholders' for a very successful project.

I can't comment on that. Don't have enough of a feel for the platform yet. But it sounds right. Thanks.

Thanks. A t least one other Steemie (it's that the handle?) said the same. I think it has merit and deserves some further thought but my instincts tell me the reward should be in the process. That way, if I'm writing a screenplay that does not capture the interest of the community, I think I would consider that lack of interest and maybe alter course - I'm not sure yet though. Think barometer.

There are a LOT of people trying to figure out how to use this new invention for rewarding creative people, which have been disempowered for too long. Esp in the music scene. Imogen Heap has something called Mycelia to do this, there is a project called Bittunes that rewards both musicians and their fans--in effect creating an army of 'agents' pushing your stuff. The possibilities are endless. This stuff ain't going anywhere... can't un-invent something useful!

Hi @brian-rhodes.
You have a very interesting concept, I hope you are successful. I am up for your bumpy ride.

Love the idea ! @brian-rhodes I'd love to be apart of it, I'm trying to find my audience as well . I'm currently torn on what kind of content to put out, I new but very intrigued by cryptocurrency. I'm also an inspiring musician and actor, I love the excitement I hope this happens!

@jester52772, this person may be able to help you with that show you wanted to make. Good luck!

Thanks. I reached out to @jester52772.
