Steven Soderbergh teams up with the Coppolas’ Decentralized Pictures to help filmmakers finish their projects.
Steven Soderbergh is a filmmaker who is not afraid to take a risk with new technologies. From his early embrace of day-and-date releases to self-financing and realizing being among the first filmmakers to use RED digital cameras, Soderbergh embraces the constantly changing landscape of the entertainment world.
After talking with Roman Coppola about supporting emerging filmmakers through Coppola’s blockchain-based nonprofit Decentralized Pictures, Soderbergh was eager to be involved with the promise of revolutionary entertainment problem-solving for aspiring filmmakers.
Soderbergh’s production company, Extension 765, launched a $300,000 pot of money on Tuesday on DCP’s platform. The Andrews/Bernard Award will help multiple filmmakers find the funds needed to finish their English-language fiction features or shorts.
