5 Reasons to Vote for Terminal Station in Mogul’s First-Ever Showcase

Mogul’s first-ever blockchain-based showcase vote takes place from August 5-19, 2021. As we inch closer to the opening day of voting, we’re going to give each film its share of the red carpet right here on the Mogul blog.

In the spotlight today is an exciting action-thriller, Terminal Station. From producers Phillip B. Goldfine and Keoni Waxman, the story compares most closely to hits like The Hard Way and Point Blank, two films that have grossed over $10 million and $15 million at the box office respectively.

With your first opportunity to vote fast approaching, we wanted to highlight what makes Terminal Station a great candidate for your votes.

Remember, the only requirement to have a say in the showcase is to be a STARS token holder and cast your vote any time between August 5-19, 2021.

Let’s dive deep into Terminal Station.

The Terminal Station Movie Synopsis is AWESOME

In Terminal Station, a hitman retired from his days working for the Mafia waits at a train station as he prepares to leave his life behind when he unintentionally steps in to save a pregnant woman running away from her husband, an ex-Mafia boss. The Hitman must use everything in his disposal to protect both him and the woman from the people he used to work for.

If the above summary of this gun-for-hire action film doesn’t get your blood pumping enough to vote for it, perhaps the finer details of the production and its distribution will.

Terminal Station Has a Distribution Deal with a Major Streaming Service

The movie already has distribution lined up for audiences around the world via a major streaming service. The story is a mix of John Wick meets Reservoir Dogs, which will undoubtedly give it a shot at being one of the top trending films on the platform when it is released to the masses later this year.

Two Big-Time Lead Actors Set to Star

Movies fans may have already figured out who the lead actor in Terminal Station could be, but we promise you’ve never seen him in a role like this before. The mystery man’s main co-star has his own group of fans thanks to his work in other serious roles. We wish we could give you more details, but you will have to wait for the showcase to start to find that out

Director and Screenwriter Keoni Waxman Offers Previous Action-Thriller Success

Keoni Waxman is going to play a key role in helping bring Terminal Station to life, which is definitely something for voters to get excited about.

Why?

Waxman has already worked with former pro wrestler turned actor Stone Cold Steve Austin in the movie Hunt to Kill, Shooting Gallery starring Freddy Prinze Jr. and Ving Rhames and Steven Seagal’s Mercenary: Absolution.

Waxman has the action thriller experience necessary to turn Terminal Station into a resounding success, he’s shooting the movie in Romania, which means the production value is going to be Hollywood level quality, but at a fraction of the cost.

Phillip B. Goldfine Is a Household Name

Goldfine is reaching celebrity status as a Hollywood producer and executive. He is best known for his work in The Lady and Number Six, A Christmas Story 2, and Damascus Cover.

With two big-name actors leading the charge on the screen, and Keoni Waxman working alongside Goldfine, earning the votes of STARS token holders could mean Terminal Station gets the financing required to finish the film and a passionate built-in fan base that cares about giving a great action-thriller exposure to the masses.

Remember that Terminal Station is up against fellow action-thrillers MR-9 and Devilreaux for access to financing from the Mogul community.

In exchange, the winning film will share its profits with Mogul users like YOU!

Don’t forget to VOTE on our first-ever showcase with your STARS tokens right inside your Mogul account from Aug 5-19, 2021.

Three competing projects will vie for funding based on token holder vote; success shared with STARS holders

Toronto, July 22, 2021 – Mogul Productions, the decentralized film financing (DeFiFi) and movie-based NFT platform, unveils its first ever slate of films for their showcase voting.

The three movies, through a promotional campaign to Mogul’s STARS token holders, will be pitching their projects to receive votes on the Mogul platform; and be crowned the second movie to receive financing through Mogul’s DeFi platform. 

The blockchain-based vote, which will occur from August 5th to August 19th, will be the first time ever that cryptocurrency holders get to govern the financing of a Hollywood movie; decentralizing the process and giving the power to the hands of fans. To this point, blockchain-based voting, despite its clear security and transparency benefits, has not gained popularity in the offline world – making this event a monumental moment for Ethereum. 

Mogul’s platform has been in development for 2 years, and has gone through several successful audits to combine DeFi and NFTs through this unique, first-of-its-kind, movie vote.

Mogul received over 500 film submissions for consideration in the showcase – the three films chosen have all met the Mogul coverage requirements of having 50% of their total financing in place, A-List on-screen talent, experienced directors and producers, distribution deals imminent, and a commercially appealing storyline. 

As an added bonus, each of the featured films are ready to shoot immediately after the vote on the Mogul platform is decided. 

The three films, whose profiles are now viewable at my.mogulproductions.com, include:

• Terminal Station (Phillip B. Goldfine, Keoni Waxman): A retired hitman for the Mafia is waiting in a train station to leave his life behind when he unintentionally steps in to save a pregnant woman running away from her husband, an ex-Mafia boss.  The Hitman must now use all of his skills to protect the woman and himself from the group he used to work for.
• MR-9 (Asif Akbar, Binh Dang): MR9, a spy with a mysterious past, joins forces with an elite group of international Agents, racing against the clock to stop a terrorist attack set to happen during the World Peace Summit in Bangladesh.
• Devilreaux (Thomas Churchill): Devilreaux and his family were killed unjustly in the 1800s, calling on a forbidden Voodoo to avenge their murders.  The movie takes place in the present day where an unwitting group of teenagers accidentally bring Devilreaux back to life to wreak vengeance again. 

As part of a Mogul-led voting campaign, each of the projects, which are represented as NFTs on the Mogul platform, are soon expected to announce additional details, such as key cast members, confirmed distribution, and more for voters and token holders to evaluate the different options. STARS holders will share in the success of 50% of Mogul’s film profits from these films, so voters are sure to take careful consideration when evaluating the three projects. 

In addition, token holders, through voting, actually earn more STARS as a way to encourage the entire community to vote; blending both NFTs and DeFi together for this first-ever vote.

“We are constantly reviewing our showcase of films to ensure that STARS holders have the best possible films to vote on,” added Gorav Seth, Mogul’s Co-Chair of Film Financing. “This is determined by weighing all elements of the project, everything from star power to how close the film is to beginning principal photography.”

“We only present films with the highest commercial viability,” said Paul Sparkes, Co-Chair of Film Financing. “STARS token holders not only play a part in choosing the film through a voting round, but they also collectively decide how the 50% profits are to be spent .”

This decentralized vote will be Mogul’s second time financing a movie. Mogul previously funded the movie Bonded, written and directed by Mohit Ramchandani, as a proof of concept of their platform. That movie is currently in post-production with plans for a release later this year; users can visit my.mogulproductions.com for updates on Bonded.

Why You Should Vote for MR-9 in Mogul’s First-Ever Showcase

The Mogul community is holding its first-ever blockchain-based showcase vote from August 5-19, 2021. We are getting closer to the first day of voting. There’s no better time than now to give a little bit of the spotlight to each film.

On the red carpet, today is MR-9. MR-9 features a spy with a mysterious past who joins forces with an elite group of international agents. He races against the clock to stop a terrorist attack set to happen during the World Peace Summit in Bangladesh.

Here are a few key reasons to vote for MR-9 you don’t want to overlook.

MR-9 Draws Some Uncanny Espionage Comparisons

Are you a fan of the James Bond franchise of movies? What about Chris Hemsworth’s smash hit streaming on Netflix right now, Extraction?

MR-9’s storyline is drawn comparisons to both. Vote this movie through and you’ll be undoubtedly sitting at the edge of your seat.  

MR-9 has Movie Franchise Potential

Many great films are adaptations of great stories that already exist in different formats and have their own called following. MR-9 is no exception.

The movie is based on a series of best-selling Bangladeshi books. Those books were adapted in English for a novel published in 1966 called Masud Rana: Dhonghsho Pahar.

With the books providing the backbone of the story, there is ample opportunity for MR-9 to turn into a massively successful movie franchise.

Martial Arts Films Have a History of Doing Well at the Box Office on a Reasonable Budget

Many of the most profitable martial arts films made in Hollywood are made on a budget of less than $10 million, which is nothing compared to the hundred-million-dollar budgets that comic book movies command for example.

Operating on a reasonable budget means all it takes for a martial arts film to succeed is crafting a movie that resonates with a specific and dedicated audience. Historically speaking, martial arts films do really well among men between the ages of 18-34.

MR-9 is optimized for success, especially given that funding from Mogul users like you just might give it an important boost.

MR-9 Will Feature Top-Notch Action Sequences

MR-9 features action sequences developed by Philip Tan, who is also a producer of the movie. Tan has previously developed large-scale action sequences for blockbuster movies like Inception, Pirates of the Caribbean, Transformers, and the John Wick movie franchise.

When and How You Can Vote for MR-9

Remember, the first showcase voting slate will be presented to Mogul users beginning on August 5 and it will run until August 19, 2021.

You can vote for MR-9 by logging in to your account on the Mogul platform, clicking Showcase in the left-hand navigation menu, and clicking MR-9.

Keep in mind that you need STARS tokens living on the Ethereum blockchain in order to cast your vote. You can check your holdings by logging into your MetaMask wallet connected to the Ethereum blockchain.

Happy voting!

It’s official!

Mogul’s STARS token is going to be listed on LATOKEN, a crypto exchange that regularly sees an estimated $200 million in trading volume run through its platform every 24 hours.

This is our way of sending out a special thanks to you, the members of the Mogul community. You’ve clearly proven that Mogul is one of the strongest communities in all of crypto.

Three other great projects were in the running for the opportunity to get listed, yet Mogul managed to run away with 65% of the votes, earning the opportunity to get listed on LATOKEN FREE!

What’s more exciting is that the official listing will include a competition that is going to give users the opportunity to get their hands on even more STARS tokens.

‍

Why Mogul Won the LA Token Listing

Numbers don’t lie.

LATOKEN ultimately gave Mogul the green light for getting listed on the exchange because of our strong community. Our user base includes more than 50,000 people dedicated to helping decentralize the financing of movies.

We currently have more than 26,000 Mogul fans subscribed to our Telegram channel and 30,000 more followers on Twitter.

Thanks again to all the moviegoers, financiers, and creators that believe in the future of film and participate passionately in the Mogul community.

Here’s to a great partnership between Mogul and LATOKEN.

Toronto, Canada

We’re overwhelmed with the support from our community and we’re so proud to be growing Mogul globally with you all. There have been frequent questions in our community in regards to timelines, potential extensions, and the future plans for Mogul and we wanted to answer everyone’s questions in a concise post for our community.

We will be extending the Access Pass Sale and the unlock schedule by 1 week, which brings us three updated, upcoming dates:

1. End of Access Pass Sale: April 15th
2. Token Unpause: April 22nd
3. Mogul Growth Farming: April 22nd

The updated dates of these events will be reflected in our Litepaper and on our Website within the next 24 hours.

Timelines that are communicated to our community are incredibly important to us. Mogul is a product-driven company and our development team is working hard to aggressively ship product features for our 35 thousand+ users every week. For that reason, we want to be transparent behind our decision to push these dates by 1 week:

Smart contract audits can take a lot of time and auditors are currently very backed up

Security of our users is our number one priority. As a product-driven company looking to disrupt one of the largest industries in the world we cannot “test in prod”. Once a smart contract is deployed, they are immutable, and a vulnerability can be incredibly costly to our community and Mogul’s growth. Nearly every week in the blockchain industry there seems to be a smart contract exploit, and that’s why we’re doing everything in our power to make sure that each contract we deploy passes a thorough audit. So far, we have scored perfect scores on our existing audits.

DeFi and NFT auditors are in high demand right now and there is a backlog of audits waiting to happen. Our staking contract “Stars Master Chef” is currently in audit and we’ve been assured that it will be complete by the new date outlined above.

Secure, audited smart contracts are a priority for our team and need to be a higher priority than speed to market to make sure that Mogul is set up for success in the long term and our reputation as a product-driven, audited platform is kept intact.

What is STARS Master Chef?

STARS Master Chef is a staking contract, forked from the SushiSwap codebase, where STARS holders and UNIV2 STARS/ETH LP holders will be able to stake their tokens within a pool on the Mogul platform to earn more STARS. This campaign will allow us to grow the Mogul user base and community by tapping into the Uniswap community; creating a stronger network for Mogul to harness the Power of the Crowd when making movies. More details will be shared about this contract this week, but the rewards can be found in our One-Pager here.

The delay in the audit has nothing to do with our codebase and is a result of the industry’s best auditors being busier than ever due to the immense growth in the blockchain industry.

Film industry users need more time to purchase Access Passes

We have received many emails from film industry professionals trying to purchase Access Passes that are having trouble purchasing Ethereum for the first time. It’s taking more time than they realized for them to onboard to cryptocurrency given the current on-ramp solutions. Extending the Sale will give these industry members more opportunity to participate in the Access Pass sale. We’re grateful to have such support from the film industry and demand to use STARS tokens on the Mogul platform to perform actions like submitting scripts for financing consideration.

To make it easier for film industry users to onboard to blockchain in the future, we’re taking the following measures:

• Deploying the platform onto Polygon for instant transactions
• Integrating Biconomy for gasless transactions so that users can transact for the first time without having to purchase Ethereum
• Engaging directly with payment processing companies, such as Sendwyre and Transak, so that we can build the option to buy cryptocurrency directly within the Mogul platform

Another frequent question in our community has been: “what will happen to the Access Passes that go unsold?” It is premature to speculate that Access Passes will go unsold, but if they do, the STARS tokens included in the passes will be allocated to the Mogul Ecosystem Development Fund to grow the Mogul user base with tiered access to the tokens. This allocation of tokens may be used for activities like the following:

• Referral program bonuses
• Voting bonuses to our users
• More staking bonuses
• More tokens used for the early adopter distribution program

Some tokens will remain in the “Top Up” tier on the platform to allow users who need a small number of tokens on the platform for specific actions to easily purchase them. For example, purchasing the tokens necessary to submit a script.

Together, we are trying to positively disrupt one of the largest industries in the world through more transparent funding opportunities and the power of the crowd. We are planning unique strategies to onboard the masses from the film industry to the Mogul community. This includes film fans, financiers, and creative talents (writers, directors, producers, and more). We have already had an outpour of support from the film industry as you can see by these videos.

To celebrate the support from our early community members, we have a really exciting announcement that we will share later today about offering physical versions of the NFT Access Passes to our early users. Stay tuned!

Also stay tuned for more strategic partnerships to be announced before the end of the Access Pass Sale just like our most recent announcement with GD10 Ventures.

Remember that right now the Mogul platform is live and the movies on our platform are listening to your feedback and support, as the creators have mentioned in their latest Telegram AMAs.

On the Mogul platform, you can currently customize your profile, create an industry account with your filmmaking experience, submit your scripts and projects for financing consideration, show your support for the movies in the Showcase through likes and comments, and engage in the community by commenting on the industry (and Mogul’s) latest news and updates in our dedicated community section.

On April 29th we will be having the auction, on the Mogul platform, for the Rob Prior NFTs and will continue building out our NFT marketplace to have even more capabilities after the event.

Thank you all for your early support.

Sincerely,

The Mogul Team

Mogul will integrate Chainlink VRF to generate tamper-proof randomness and ensure provable rarity across its NFT marketplace

Mogul is expanding its integration with the market-leading oracle network Chainlink to integrate Chainlink VRF, a verifiable randomness solution, to ensure the security of Mogul’s upcoming movie-based NFT marketplace. By integrating Chainlink’s novel VRF solution, Mogul will gain access to a secure and transparent source of on-chain entropy for generating and distributing provably rare NFTs.

Mogul’s movie-based NFTs can represent different scenes in Mogul-produced movies, signed movie scripts, and even executive producer credits. Mogul will also issue collections of dynamic NFTs with provably rare attributes built directly into the on-chain token. Chainlink VRF enables Mogul’s movie-based NFTs to be distributed to Access Pass holders and collection purchasers in a provably fair manner, ensuring all users have an equal opportunity to obtain the rarest and most desirable NFTs.

Chainlink VRF works by combining block data that is still unknown when the request is made with the oracle node’s pre-committed private key to generate both a random number and a cryptographic proof. Any user can verify the cryptographic proof with the block data and oracle node public key to ensure that the entropy produced is authentic. Thus, Chainlink VRF provides a transparent and tamper-proof source of on-chain randomness for smart contract applications.

For more information on our previous integration and why we selected Chainlink as our preferred oracle solution, view our past announcement here: https://www.mogulproductions.com/post/mogul-partners-chainlink

“By continuing our integration with the Chainlink Network’s highly secure and reliable oracle services, we are greatly expanding the functionality of our decentralized film platform. With Chainlink VRF, Mogul is ensuring that our movie-driven NFT marketplace is powered by a verifiable source of on-chain randomness and well-positioned to pioneer the next generation of unique and dynamic digital collectibles.”

Lisa Sun, President of Mogul Productions

“We are pleased to offer continued support to Mogul as they work to transform the movie industry with their decentralized film platform. Chainlink VRF provides a tamper-proof source of predictability that enables Mogul to create and distribute provably rare NFTs, so any user can verify that their unique film collectibles were minted in a fair manner with authentic attributes..”

Mogul has partnered with the award-winning movie, Reboot Camp, to create an NFT collection of deleted scenes from the movie for collectors. The drop, which celebrates the launch of Mogul’s NFT Marketplace, will be the first in a series of NFT partnerships to come.

The date of the NFT drop is September 16th. NFT purchasers will be able to attend the exclusive red carpet screening of the film on September 21st in Los Angeles at the Cinelounge Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard, where they will be able to meet, mingle, and take pictures with the cast for the ultimate Hollywood experience. 

The drop will include 11 one-of-a-kind NFTs including talent such as rapper/actor Ja Rule, adult film actress Nicole Aniston, and The Office’s David Koechner.

The NFTs were created from deleted, never-before-seen scenes in the movie with these and other stars of Reboot Camp, including Chaz Bono (American Horror Story), David Lipper (Full House), and Jessica Belkin (American Horror Story). Some of the deleted scenes include collectibles and other perks from the movie. 

Also being minted are 25 digitally signed NFT movie posters, each including a personalized screener of the movie customized by the lead actor and director.

————————————————-

Fake Guru. Real story. Reboot Camp, a large ensemble comedy film from writer/director Ivo Raza (Seventeen Hours In, Jarring) is the story of two brothers who start a fake self-help group to document how easy it is to manipulate people, but once started, the camp takes on a life of its own into a full-blown cult. Watch the trailer.

The movie has won an award at every film festival it has played in and is currently available for purchase on Fandango, iTunes and Youtube. The movie is currently negotiating distribution deals with streaming services.

After losing his life savings and his wife to a self-help guru, Seymour (Lipper), is on a mission to expose false prophets who fleece people for money.  He teams up with his brother Danny (Price), a filmmaker, and they start a fake self-improvement group called Reboot Camp. They plan to document the entire process on film and showcase the falseness of it all, as well as, they hope, make an award-winning documentary.  

While Seymour transforms into the charismatic Gordon St. Pierre (Lipper), a larger than life persona who teaches a path to bliss through a process called “rebooting,” Danny films everything.  They succeed handsomely as even the most ludicrous group activities are met with unbridled enthusiasm from the members. But as more and more people join, Seymour and Danny must request additional funds from the producer (McClintock), who pushes them to hire his niece Claire (Stojan) to supervise. 

Reboot Camp is currently entering its second window of distribution, which is the subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) window. The film is currently in the TVOD stage. 

The partnership with Reboot Camp is the perfect prelude to Reboot Camp 2, where the production team is already making plans for a film, distributed as an NFT in collaboration with Mogul, where your favourite cast and crew of Reboot Camp will return for a blockchain-related mockumentary.
