You can support our work here
We are Hannah and Díma, an independent filmmakeres family currently based in Barcelona.
We met on a film set and fell in love at first sight.
For many years we worked in the professional film industry as a film director,
cinematographer and VFX producer on features, music videos and commercials.
Also, we shot Full CG footages using motion control and a high-speed camera as WETA Workshops does.
So, here is our showreel and project pitch:
These days we are working on The Cult, a highly ambitious sci-fi miniseries about:
A young neuroscientist named Pia who becomes entangled in a war between technological and spiritual cults.
Just before the conflict, she discovers a way to glimpse into the near future.
To see further and find the key to saving our planet from the war's consequences, she must journey into her past life.
The Cult is more than just a fascinating movie; it explores and popularizes current scientific and philosophical knowledge on human consciousness and death - timeless themes that resonate with everyone.
We know that this story will fundamentally change people's minds.
We feel wholehearted that this series must be independent
and have a voice far away from large industry.
This is why we have decided to launch a crowdfunding campaign
here.
For the detailed development of the season, we will need to create concept arts and a storyboard.
They usually disappear somewhere in the archives after filming.
And no one remembers them anymore. But we want to give them a second life.
Therefore, we will produce a graphic novel.
Thanks to the immense support from our community, and especially from Dan Polko and Gary Sumner, we have deeply immersed ourselves in modern neuroscience, engage with leading neuroscientists, and study Buddhist traditions and South American shamanism.
With Dan Polko's direct contribution, we have begun creating the graphic novel. The first pages are already published on this website, and our work continues.
Today, with the incredible advancements in AI, we need just one thing to visualize the first two episodes — a three-month period to work on the novel without distractions from commercial projects.
The sale of any remaining NFT from The Cult collection on Foundation will provide us with the funds needed to finish the graphic novel.
Selling out The Cult collection will allow us to publish the graphic novel and begin its distribution.
Owning any NFT from The Cult collection makes you a producer of the graphic novel and a co-producer of the future series.
Naturally, your name will appear in all credits, and you will receive exclusive access to the series' production process. We will create personalized producer's books in hardcover, but most importantly, we have already deployed The Cult DAO and $CULT governance tokens.
These governance tokens will be distributed proportionally to the initial contributions to the project. Any $CULT token holder will have the ability to propose ideas, and through voting, these proposals will be accepted or rejected by the community.
40% of the profits from the distribution of the graphic novel will be collected in the DAO treasury, governed by $CULT token holders. This will ensure that our contributors have a say in how the funds are used and help shape the future of the project.
The remaining profits will be invested in creating the teaser for the future series.
Following the graphic novel, our next step is to produce a high-quality teaser for the series. This will demonstrate our vision and the potential of The Cult, attracting further investments and support.
We will pour all our resources and creative potential into the teaser, ensuring it speaks for itself and leaves no doubt that the series must be made. Alongside the graphic novel and a dedicated fan community, we will launch a powerful fundraising campaign directly for the series.
In addition to crowdfunding, we will also pursue traditional funding avenues such as pitching to investors and applying for grants. By combining these efforts, we aim to secure the necessary resources to bring The Cult to life.
While it is difficult to predict how legislation will evolve in the future, we are committed to working diligently to find solutions to lawfully reward all our contributors, particularly those who have supported us from the very beginning of our journey. Whether through the DAO or other means, we will ensure that everyone who contributes to our project is recognized and rewarded.
Together, we will fill our series with great power and love that will change people's minds.
The world needs this kind of work.
With love & hugs,
Díma and Hannah.
