Liquid Media Group Ltd. (the “Company,” “Liquid Media” or “Liquid”)
(Nasdaq: YVR) is pleased to announce the launch of its first
blockchain film streaming with a slate of digital panel
presentations during the upcoming hybrid 2022 Sundance Film
Festival (“Sundance”). Sundance is the largest and most prestigious
annual independent film festival in the United States.
Hosted via the Eluvio-Liquid Media blockchain
framework, the original documentary film “Angst,” produced by
iNDIEFLIX CEO Scilla Andreen and designed to raise awareness around
anxiety, will be streamed on-demand for a limited time via Eluvio's
Content Fabric and Liquid’s next-generation supply chain, following
the festival. This global screening and NFT event will engage with
global audiences. It will also provide blockchain-based community
access to Angst's “Creative Coping Toolkit,” which is designed to
open up conversation and provide resources to help address mental
health challenges in our communities.
To introduce the “Angst” streaming, Liquid is
planning to host a virtual panel conversation during Sundance on
January 21, 2022 at 2PM MT. During the panel, Andreen will discuss
the documentary and its impact, and explain the important contents
of the Angst toolkit, which purchasers will access via NFT
Tokens.
“Liquid’s blockchain approach and business
solution engine are here to disrupt the industry and enhance the
way independent creators establish community engagement and bring
their content to screens of all sizes and types,” said Ron Thomson,
CEO of Liquid Media. “We are especially excited that our screening
of ‘Angst’ will showcase the incredible ways that independents can
leverage blockchain technology and NFTs to reach new audiences,
achieve lower-cost, decentralized distribution, sell merchandise
and other special access experiences, and broadcast directly to
fans on their own terms.”
In tandem, Liquid will host a panel in
partnership with DEADLINE, during The Sundance Film Festival,
addressing the future of Entertainment on the Blockchain, NFTs for
the entertainment industry, and the possibilities this technology
brings to independent producers. Key panelists include Eluvio
founder and CEO Michelle Munson, Greenfish.io Managing Director
Tracie Mitchell, iNDIEFLIX founder and CEO Scilla Andreen, and
Liquid CEO Ron Thomson.
Thomson continues, “Liquid is delivering a
professional approach empowering independents with an entire
strategy for leveraging the blockchain to engage with and monetize
their global audiences. The Liquid solution has been meticulously
constructed to serve the needs of independents. Sundance is a
pivotal event for its unveiling, and we are thrilled to be
showcasing our cutting-edge blockchain capabilities with
Eluvio.”
“We are looking forward to Liquid's virtual
participation during Sundance,” said Joshua Jackson, Chairman of
Liquid. “Together, Liquid Media’s family of companies and partners
empower diverse communities of independent storytellers by
providing solutions to their most common problems, and providing
tools for the inception, financing and monetization of great
stories across media.”
Liquid’s premiere during Sundance follows the
Company’s successful industry unveiling at the 2021 Toronto
International Film Festival (“TIFF”) where Liquid hosted a
star-studded “Big Splash” TIFF gala, which continues to garner
global media coverage. The gala event capped off a weekend of TIFF
panel presentations where Jackson, Thomson and other members of the
Liquid Media family of companies shared their expertise on topics
ranging from streaming in the new world, financing for independents
and harnessing the power of media for social good.
