We have traveled to 28 cities in 15 countries to film “Ethereum Stories”—a feature film & a series of short films about Ethereum and the community over the past 3 years.
These films, like the technology itself, transcends borders, languages, and cultures.
The Official Trailer

The film industry has been dominated by giants.
M&As further consolidate power in the hands of traditional distribution - leaving indie filmmakers out of the picture.
But what if we can change that? What if crypto is the answer to this problem?

Why are we asking people to mint the trailer as much as possible? Read our "white paper" on the plan for a decentralized theatrical and onchain streaming release that you can power.
For the film's poster art, we worked with Aleksander Walijewski in Poland.
We built the concept around the dandelion as an organic representation of Ethereum, starting with Vitalik and decentralizing to become something bigger and more diverse than anyone could ever imagine.
Tomorrow we’re dropping a free short film about the community in celebration of Ethereum’s birthday.

It's actually pretty common in independent documentaries to take 3+ years. The most unique challenge, and joy, of this film though was the global nature of the community and Vitalik himself. As you can imagine, it required a lot of travel and coordination :P
