Film3 is a movement spearheaded by Mogul Productions and our community to empower film and content creators to create movies and content in better fan exclusive ways using blockchain technology.
Mogul is where movies meet blockchain through DeFi and NFTs, and now, the Metaverse through Mogies and their new home, Mogieland.
With a series of major announcements soon to be revealed, the road to blockchain driven filmmaking in combination with fanbase participation will go through Mogul Productions, and its upcoming metaverse Mogieland. From script to screen, Mogul is thrilled to be a leader in the film and entertainment industry within Film3, the Hollywood version of Web3.
Rapid development of the Mogul NFT and DeFi platform in just one year has put our seal on the new direction of film and entertainment creation. So far, there is no blockchain platform or project on the planet that is addressing the movie industry the way Mogul is.
A gigantic amount of planning and functionality was required to build a crypto platform of this size from the groun d up. This includes coding, development features for users, STARS token development, onboarding, writing and graphics, security development, payment features, metaverse features and successful DeFi movie production and NFT campaigns. On top of all of this is all our technology partnerships with the best resources in the world as seen on Nasdaq, Forbes, and Cointelegraph.
Several Mogul partnered films have already gone through the production process. They are hitting the big screen and international film festivals. New films are being onboarded. By the same time next year, the library of films and entertainment products from script to screen will showcase the rapid changes taking place in the industry and Mogul Production’s leadership in this transition.
Experience the Power of the Crowd
Mogul offers movie fans a piece of the action on the films they support.
There are too many great films out there not getting made, due to the studios holding all of the power and making it nearly impossible for the little guys, including indie filmmakers and movie fans, to have their voices heard. New ways of financing are igniting new trends for indie filmmaking.
Movie fans are becoming a powerful force in the decision making process. The modern movie fan is part of a collective that lets their voice be heard, both online and off. They mobilize and fight for what they are passionate about, to the point that real changes actually get made to Hollywood projects.
Bringing power back to the crowd.
Until Mogul, the mass of enthusiastic movie fans who sought greater involvement in movie production, were an under-served community. This was due to the lack of a platform that would allow the fans to be part of the process to contribute, collaborate, and vote on films and feel a sense of ownership over the content.
The greatest force in the world is compound interest.
Up to 50% of the film’s net proceeds can possibly be distributed back to the voting community, via a blockchain smart contract. If you don’t vote, you don’t get rewards. By voting you are participating in the project and staking tokens. The last winning film from Mogul’s showcase, Terminal Station, had over 30,000 votes.
Terminal Station – movieBonded – MovieReboot Camp – Movie
The trend is your friend.
Digital movie merchandise will be used to promote upcoming releases. Mogul is the platform for independent filmmakers to monetize NFTs as a means of funding their work.
Fans are also part of the process for buying the NFTs especially during the pre-production and production phases of filmmaking. Mogul Productions has previously highlighted this market gap. Utility based NFTs are designed to bring the fans closer to the action via different forms of experiential utility and behind-the-scenes access. A couple of examples of those could be attending red carpet premieres. It could be getting producer credits on a film. It could be getting access to behind-the-scenes content from the production or it could be meeting a lead actor for face time, or one-of-a-kind film posters, and invitations to exclusive events.
The power of how Mogul gets cool stories to the big screen.
This is how voting works. People will vote with their STARS utility token. That gets kept in a smart contract. When the fans help vote for a film, they get access to certain perks.
Sneak peek at Mogieland, Hollywood’s metaverse in its fully-fledged form.
Mogieland is being produced in partnership with the animators that brought The Simpsons series, The Simpsons Movie and VR attractions at Universal Studios Japan. Along with Mogieland will come the first ever NFT animated series. The Mogies animated series is a celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Hollywood sign being erected. Mogul Productions is bringing the fun to the 1923 milestone.
The metaverse will likely leverage Film 3 technology to support real-time CGI rendered simulations of real life on a mass scale. Just like Hollywood, Mogieland will be a shared virtual space where people from around the world will be able to gather, interact, and play, all in real time.
Mogieland is open to all. Mogieland visitors will be able to visit the walkaround environment and partake in the festivities. Hollywood is one of the most highly trafficked tourist destinations in the world. Soon Mogieland will be too. All powered by STARS tokens.
Big reveals from Mogul Productions are coming this year. It’s going to be a fun ride.
Mogul Productions partners with Trace Network Labs to drive engagement within the entertainment industry and drive quality experiences within the Metaverse.
Trace Network Labs are a completely decentralized protocol that enables the creation of lifestyle products for any multichain metaverse.

In addition to the “BUDDY” avatars, there is also the option to elevate your character’s style via digital wearables such as jackets and accessories.
Mogul Productions have worked with top Hollywood talent including Academy Award winning actress Julianne Moore alongside other stars such as David Koechner and Chaz Bono. They have helped launch several feature films and act as a launch pad for filmmakers to finance their productions via NFT and DeFi products. Films they have helped finance, such as “Bonded” featuring star Jason Patric will be showcased in the Metaverse alongside other high profile pieces to be announced in the coming months.
The Mogul community will soon be able to mint their own NFT and bring that avatar into a variety of virtual experiences such as film premieres and events in Mogul’s Metaverse cinemas. There will also be the opportunity for users to obtain Mogul branded wearables that will unlock certain utility aspects and special “Behind The Scenes” experiences.
“We are thrilled to collaborate with Mogul and bring the element of motion picture experiences to the burgeoning community of BUDDY avatars. This partnership will leverage the individual expertise of Mogul in the movie space and Trace’s focus on enabling experiences for the BUDDY avatars in the metaverse. This partnership is aimed to extend the world of experiences for the BUDDY population to multiple metaverses where Mogul productions will be launching movies shows etc. We are looking forward to working with Team Mogul to bring newer experiences like – 1st cut trailers, special premieres , movies for BUDDY holders and more..”Lokesh Rao, Co-Founder & CEO, Trace Network Labs
As Mogul continues to push the boundaries of what is possible with how fans engage in film and entertainment, we are thrilled to partner up with Trace to leverage their incredible product to give our community the ability to take their virtual experiences to a whole new level.Jake Fraser, Head of Business Development Mogul.

The Mogul Production timeline is for general purposes and guidance only. Every reasonable effort has been made, and will be made, to ensure its accuracy as of the date of its publication. But its accuracy is not guaranteed as unforeseen circumstances can change schedules.
The Mogul development team is assembling the newest features for Mogul’s NFT Marketplace and ecosystem. Ten major features have been or are about to be onboarded. A new feature will be reviewed each week over the course of ten weeks.
Mogul Development Update #10
For this exciting update, Jake Fraser, Head of Business Development joined us to discuss.
“The whole premise of Mogul is to enable filmmakers to get their stories turned into a cinematic release. For filmmakers that were struggling to get financing or launch their story into the market, we see a gap here.”
One of Jake’s favorite references is the Deadpool story. Deadpool had rested in development purgatory for years. Animated test footage for a Deadpool movie leaked online and was met with critical acclaim, resulting in 20th Century Fox finally giving the greenlight to the project.
It got made into a film because it was the power of the crowd demanding that it should be made into a movie.
“That’s the premise of Mogul. Bringing power back to the crowd”
To dive into the voting more specifically; how the process works when we had done voting in the past is we had a submission process called Showcase. With the Showcase portal on Mogul, people submitted their stories and screenplays.
Once they were submitted, our team of award winning producers in Hollywood and the entertainment industry reviewed them. Mogul would then come to a shortlist of three films based on the producer’s recommendations and expertise.
We’d present those three films to the community. Then the community votes on what film they want to see turned into a cinematic release.
Once greenlit, the production team then commences with the production or pre production process from where they are. It’s a hybrid financial model. There are voters staking STARS, combined with NFT funding, private funding and Mogul’s Film Fund.
We have had some great success in the past, an example of this was the first film we helped fund, Bonded.
It was the first film that Mogul helped finance from the script to screen process. It’s super exciting that the premiere was this year. And now it’s about to commence its tour on the film festival circuit.
Inspired by a true story, BONDED follows the journey of a teenager from Mexico whose dreams of becoming a soccer star are shattered when he’s smuggled across the border and sold to a sweatshop making party dresses in downtown Los Angeles.
It highlights the power of Mogul and how we can get cool stories to the big screen.
The voting community is really a collaborative way for film lovers to have a voice and be a part of the whole process. Not only are they part of the process from a voting standpoint and get a say in what gets to be turned into a film. But they can also be part of the process for buying the NFTs that we offer the community that are attached to the film.
Utility based NFTs are designed to bring the fans closer to the action via different forms of experiential utility and behind-the-scenes access. A couple of examples of those could be attending red carpet premieres, It could be getting producer credits on a film, It could be getting access to behind-the-scenes content from the production or It could be meeting a lead actor for face time.
This is how voting works moving forward. People will vote with their STARS utility token. That gets kept in a smart contract. When the fans help vote for a film, they get access to certain perks.
Voters are able to get rewards from the film’s net proceeds. For example, up to 50% of the film’s net proceeds can possibly be distributed back to the voting community, via a smart contract. If you don’t vote, you don’t get rewards. By voting you are participating in the project and staking tokens. The last winning film from showcase, Terminal Station, had over 30,000 votes.
This collaborative process is always what resonates with people I talk to.
Jake speaks to a lot of external people be it partners, users, people in film. They all love the idea of crowdfunding and community empowerment in the film industry. That’s why he feels we need to lean into this more.
“There are a million NFT marketing places, but no one else is doing this with film.”
How that fits into the overall strategy is we are trying to help creators and fans have more power in the script to screen process.
We have built a voting system called quadratic voting. It’s a product we built that prevents double voting, fraudulent activity and people trying to game the process.
A quadratic voting system is an alternative to a plurality voting system.
A plurality voting system is one that we are all familiar with. Every voter gets one vote, all votes are equally weighted, and the candidate that ends up with the most votes wins. That’s it!
Quadratic voting uses an equation to weigh votes differently.
With this system, STARS token holders are assigned a certain number of votes per token they own. For every token that a holder has, they get fewer voting credits, so large token holders with millions of coins are unable to skew the vote.
This promotes active participation in voting from all of the STARS token holders, regardless of their size, because each holder has a voice in the process. Small holders have a proportionally large voice; which in turn allows Mogul to gauge the sentiment across our entire community, and not just a few large holders!
Why Quadratic Voting Keeps Things Fair
The number of voting credits you get at Mogul depends on how many STARS tokens you own. This is one reason for the implementation of a quadratic voting system. Mogul doesn’t have a “one person, one vote” system. STARS tokens can be earned through on-platform activities, contests, or purchased, so the number of tokens an individual person owns varies a lot!
An early adopter or large purchaser of STARS tokens has many more tokens to vote with than somebody who owns just a few tokens, but quadratic voting makes it less likely for a user with more tokens to skew the voting, because purchasing enough voting credits to do so would be VERY VERY expensive.
There is also a secondary (and equally important) benefit to the quadratic voting system. It prevents voters from buying votes or registering fake Mogul accounts to try and skew the voting of a particular showcase round to unfairly pump up the odds of certain movies going into production.
We are trying to help really good creators and fans have more power in the script to screen process for the film and entertainment industry.
We had to build a proprietary quadratic voting system. It positions us as innovators in the crypto entertainment space. With the technology, it prevents double voting and fraudulent activity. It prevents bad actors, pardon the pun.
It’s a hybrid financial model with voter staking, NFT film memorabilia funding, private funding and a Mogul film fund. It’s a big push to greenlight a project and move this into the community. Once a film is greenlit and depending on what stage the film is in, the production team will commence with the pre-production and production process.
Getting the buy-in from the people that are actually going to watch the film it sets up a better chance of succeeding, because we already have the market’s approval with what they want to watch.
We are pooling together different stakeholders to make this as successful as possible. We are getting the fans involved, financiers involved, and an amazing production team involved. The role Mogul plays is that it acts as the bridge between the traditional entertainment industry and the new innovative way of film financing and blockchain. We’ve nailed that innovation and technology on our platform and are excited to help scale this to the masses..

The love of film is universal. Yet behind Hollywood curtains, the movie industry is generally exclusive to industry insiders. The movie selection process itself is ultimately being managed by a small group of experts at the major studios. This leads to promising scripts being overlooked. That gap in greenlighting overlooked projects was identified by Hollywood insiders themselves. It was a driver behind the creation of the Black List, an annual crowd-sourced list ranking unproduced screenplays that non-studio industry experts felt had been overlooked.
Today, Black List films have become some of Hollywood’s most successful movies. As of 2019, 4 of the last 10 Academy Awards for Best Picture went to scripts featured on previous Black Lists, as well as 12 of the last 20 screenwriting Oscars (Original and Adapted Screenplays). Since its inception, more than 400 Black List scripts have been produced, grossing over $26 billion in box office worldwide. Black List movies have won 53 Academy Awards from 262 nominations. Most recent successful Black List films include: The Wolf of Wall Street, The Social Network, Bird Box, American Hustle, Argo, and The Imitation Game.
With lack of transparency, clunky processes, misaligned incentives, and the success of Black List movies, the entertainment industry is primed for disruption, especially for the independent model.
Bringing power back to the crowd. That’s the premise of Mogul.
The DeFi and NFT boom has led to a sizable shift in the creator economy. Mogul unlocks opportunities for screenwriters, producers, directors and performers to reach out to audiences and get their projects funded.
“The whole premise of Mogul is to enable filmmakers to get their stories turned into a cinematic release. For filmmakers that were struggling to get financing or launch their story into the market, we see a gap here.”
– Jake Fraser, Head of Business Development
The voting community is really a collaborative way for film lovers to have a voice and be a part of the whole production process. Not only are they part of the process from a voting standpoint and get a say in what projects will be turned into films, but they can also be part of the process for buying the NFTs on Mogul’s marketplace which are attached to the film.
Utility based NFTs are designed to bring the fans closer to the action via different forms of experiential utility and behind-the-scenes access. A couple of examples could be attending red carpet premieres, getting producer credits on a film, getting access to behind-the-scenes content from the production or it could be meeting a lead actor for face time.
People vote with their STARS utility tokens which have a currency value. When fans help vote for a film, they get access to certain perks. Voters are able to receive rewards from the film’s net proceeds. For example, up to 50% of the film’s net proceeds can possibly be distributed back to the voting community, via a smart contract. If you don’t vote, you don’t get rewards. By voting you are participating in the project and staking tokens. The last winning film, Terminal Station, had over 30,000 votes.
Investors will be able to participate in a diverse, growing slate of movies with Mogul. We are committed to transparent budgeting and aligning all stakeholder incentives to bottom-line profitability. Mogul also allows investors, as well as creatives, to get better deals working on Mogul films compared to competitors. Investors receive a direct stake in the success of Mogul films, and the chance to earn experiential perks. Our model gives investors better terms and all parties involved are on the same recoupment plan.
Furthermore it loosens the barriers to getting outside financing. Producers can show outside financiers that they already have their own fan base and financial support to make the project a success. This generates loyalty, a sense of ownership, and incentive alignment with the success of Mogul films.
Mogul is a community of communities focused on revolutionizing and advancing the movie industry. We are committed to engaging the global community to achieve our mission. Together, we are Mogul.
How Are Movie Projects Selected?
Films that typically receive financing are those with good packaging and have all the different elements required to create a desirable and commercial. This includes a script that tantalizes in the first ten pages and delivers right through to the final page, and attracts a successful director and star talent that is “bankable”.
This package plays a large part in increasing investor and buyer confidence but is now just one part of a larger matrix of packaging elements that sum to a film’s marketability.
The Black List as well as movies like Deadpool and Veronica Mars have harnessed the power of the crowd within a data-driven platform. Access to timely, evolving insights to inform decisions will mitigate risk for investors in the film financing stage. Up-to-date data on audience preferences guides movie production decisions on the path to profitability.
Fun Trivia: The term Hollywood blacklist was the colloquial term for an entertainment industry blacklist put in effect in the mid-20th century during the Cold War. The blacklist involved the practice of denying employment to entertainment industry professionals believed to be communist sympathizers. Actors, screenwriters, directors, musicians, and other American entertainment professionals were barred from work by the studios on the basis of their alleged membership in, or sympathy with the Communist Party USA, or on the basis of their refusal to assist Congressional investigations into the party’s activities. It quickly and directly damaged or ended the careers and income of scores of individuals working in the film industry.
Movies like Trumbo showcased Hollywood’s history like Dalton Trumbo, who In 1947 was Hollywood’s top screenwriter, until he and other artists were jailed and blacklisted for their political beliefs.
