Mogul’s platform is a completely new take on making and funding films, as well as how filmmakers interact with fans […]

Mogul Productions, the decentralized film financing (DeFiFi) and movie-based NFT platform unveil 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.
Behind every Blockbuster film you see on the silver screen is one thing in common: funding from deep pockets – and lots of it. Every year, tens of thousands of scripts and film concepts are created. What determines which of those scripts become movies is not necessarily how brilliant the scripts are, but access to the money required to make it happen – which usually comes in the form of private investors. However, many incredible filmmakers never get the chance to bring their movies to life on the big screen because they lack these connections and therefore, the financial resources. That’s where Mogul Productions comes in: a new, decentralized film financing platform that crowdsources NFT to give everyone a voice in which movies get funded and produced.
Cindy Cowan is an award-winning producer, entrepreneur and songwriter whose career spans movies, television, music and now tech via her new venture into Mogul Productions. Her new company utilizes NFT and Defi in the film finance and filmmaking space. From her recent Emmy win for the wonderful documentary Miracle on 42nd Street to multiple nominations ranging from OscarTM, Emmy, Golden Globe, People’s Choice and the United Nations award, Cindy has founded successful media projects and companies and is always looking to do more, reach further, and get ahead of the curve.
Decentralized film financing platform Mogul Productions recently announced its next big step towards decentralizing the world of entertainment […]
STARS tokens are going to be available on Binance Smart Chain (BSC) as of July 15, 2021. By default, STARS are ERC-20 compliant, meaning they live on the Ethereum blockchain.
That means in order to hold and trade STARS on BSC, you need to trade in your Ether-friendly STARS for ones that are BEP-20 compliant.
Remember, you also need to be able to do the reverse and bridge BEP-20 STARS back over to ERC-20 because using STARS for voting or staking on the Mogul platform can only be done with the ERC-20 version.
Here’s exactly how to bridge your STARS tokens in six easy steps.
Step 1: Go to AnySwap.Exchange
Anyswap.exchange does exactly what the name says. It allows you to swap almost any digital currency for one of a different format. Click here to get to the website and get to the exact page for swapping the STARS currency pairing.
Here’s exactly what the page looks like:
Step 2: Decide Which Way You Want to Complete the Swap
If you have BEP-20 STARS and want to convert them into ERC-20 STARS, you need to choose the option to Redeem your tokens by toggling the menu to the top right of the screen. If you’re trading ERC-20 STARS for BEP-20 STARS, choose the deposit option. See the screenshot below:
Step 3: Choose the Right Blockchain Network within Your MetaMask Wallet
No matter what you’re doing, your MetaMask wallet always has to be set to the right blockchain network. If you select your wallet by clicking the fox icon that represents your MetaMask Google plugin and get a “Wrong Network” message, it means you need to either switch to Binance or Ethereum, depending on whether you are redeeming or depositing tokens in the step above.
If you don’t know how to connect MetaMask to BSC, check out this guide offered by Binance. See the screenshot below for further guidance:
Step 4: Initiate the Bridge Transaction
Enter the number of STARS tokens you want to trade and hit Cross-chain Deposit/Redeem. You need to swap at least 1,260 tokens in order for your transaction to go through.
Step 5: Confirm Your Transaction via MetaMask
AnySwap will accept your transaction, but that doesn’t mean you’re done. Once you initiate the cross-chain exchange, you’ll need to confirm it through MetaMask.
Make sure you have a minimum of 0.02 ETH in order to complete the transaction because you do need to pay a fee to the network.
Step 6: Check to See That Your Bridge Transaction Is Complete
Now that you’ve looked at your MetaMask wallet and confirmed your transaction, you can click on the STARS token to the far right to see when you’ve successfully bridged your tokens. Make sure you check that before you leave the page so that you don’t get caught having to do the transaction again.
You can now be fully confident in bridging your tokens from BSC to Ethereum and vice versa. Join us as we launch on BSC on July 15, 2021 and give you, the STARS token holder with the lower fees and faster speeds that BSC provides and that movie fans like you deserve.

Mogul Partners with ApeSwap
Mogul partners with ApeSwap; giving STARS token holders increased use cases on the Binance Smart Chain
Mogul Productions, a decentralized film financing and movie-based NFT platform bringing together movie fans, creators, and financiers, is partnering with ApeSwap, the fastest-growing decentralized exchange (DEX) and community within the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) ecosystem.
ApeSwap is a decentralized, community-owned exchange platform that, due to being deployed on the Binance Smart Chain, is more cost-effective than using Uniswap; especially for frequent users.
ApeSwap gives tokens more utility through participation in their farms, pools, and Initial Ape Offerings (IAOs); all of which center around their BANANA and GNANA tokens. Users can stake their existing tokens to earn BANANA and vice versa.
The site currently boasts nearly $300 million in total value locked and 155,000+ followers on its social media channels. The BANANA token is a top 350 cryptocurrency by market capitalization and the project’s expanding group of partners currently includes 90+ different strategic alliances.
STARS holders will be able to use ApeSwap as of July 15, 2021; giving Mogul access to ApeSwap’s growing userbase of 400,000 monthly active users
Apart from ApeSwap integrating STARS into their platform, Mogul and ApeSwap are joining forces in a host of marketing efforts centered around introducing STARS to the BSC ecosystem. These co-marketing efforts will give Mogul exposure to ApeSwap’s engaged userbase, including their 30,000 BANANA holders and non-fungible ape holders.
As part of the partnership, ApeSwap is featuring Mogul on ApeTV, a global podcast series reaching listeners from more than 30 countries that is now streaming on Spotify.
The partnership will also include:
- Multiple Twitter and Telegram giveaways from both projects for users to earn STARS and BANANA
- An ecosystem development campaign, where Mogul Access Pass holders will be gifted $10,000 worth of free BANANA, and non-fungible ape holders will be gifted STARS BEP20 tokens
- A GNANA staking pool to earn STARS
- Official STARS listing on ApeSwap
- A STARS/BNB LP farm to earn BANANA
Anonymous ApeSwap founder Obie Dobo says the amazing growth that Mogul has experienced in such a short time makes the partnership a match made in DeFi heaven:
“We identified Mogul as a top Ethereum project in the NFT space based on the fact that they’ve grown their audience to over 50,000 users and done more than $10 million in NFT sales. We’re incredibly excited to launch STARS products on ApeSwap”.
“Given that both Mogul and ApeSwap are two of the fastest-growing projects in the cryptoverse and more and more users are looking to BSC-friendly platforms to get their hands on crypto, the partnership is a great milestone for us, says Lisa Sun, Founder and President of Mogul Productions. “Community growth is important to us at Mogul, and we’re excited by the engaged ApeSwap community – we’re sure to find some movie fans there!”

About ApeSwap
ApeSwap is a leading decentralized exchange (DEX) on Binance Smart Chain and Polygon focused on offering a premier trading experience.

The craze for NFTs, especially as a vehicle for artists, continues to intensify. At the same time that values for movie-theater company AMC continue to waver, startups like Mogul Productions, which launched in February 2021, aim to bring decentralized finance (DeFi) to the beleaguered film industry. (…)
(…) This is similar to Mogul Productions, which also uses Ethereum-based tokens, called STARS Tokens. In the Mogul app, users can spend these tokens to vote on film projects, receive NFT-based collectibles, and participate in the making of feature-length films.
And as of February, we have Mogul Productions, which aims to bring DeFi and NFTs to the film industry, making participation in film easily available to the everyday consumer through blockchain, NFTs, and a community of dedicated film fans. (…)
