DENVER - Feb. 27, 2025 - PRLog -- Film.io Celebrates Record-Breaking First Year, Ushering in Fan-Powered Film Financing

Film.io is marking a historic first year at ETH Denver. Since debuting at Sundance 2024, Film.io has revolutionized entertainment by putting decision-making power into the hands of fans and creators.

"There's a lot of chatter at ETH Denver about how blockchain is reshaping entertainment finance," said Bryan Hertz, co-creator of Film.io. "It's a perfect time to showcase how Film.io connects filmmakers directly with both fans and investors, using verifiable on-chain engagement data to identify promising projects with proven audience interest."

"We're beginning to see the power of community-driven greenlighting in action," added Ian LeWinter, co-creator at Film.io. "The platform is already unlocking new opportunities to direct investment toward entertainment projects that fans are genuinely excited about."

In its first year, Film.io has achieved:

• User growth from 2,278 to 50,196 verified profiles
• Fan staking increase from 20 million to 199 million FAN tokens
• Over 200 original film projects launched
• More than $8 million in film funding facilitated
• FAN token listings on MEXC, Uniswap V3, and app.film.io

Community-driven AI Augments Film Funding
As AI technologies take center stage at ETH Denver, Film.io offers a community-driven, AI-augmented alternative to traditional studio decision making. The platform leverages FAN Token staking and DAO voting to analyze audience engagement, helping creators demonstrate market validation while providing investors with predictive insights.

Early Success Stories
Horror film "My Stalker" by Xavier Ruhl quickly built a fanbase with users staking over 4.7 million FAN Tokens. Xavier leveraged this engagement as validation, securing a top producer and $2.8 million for production within just 12 months.

"MyDoge The Movie," a sci-fi community-driven story, gained over 1,600 fans and 1.9 million staked FAN tokens in just two weeks. Superfans staking 100+ FAN Tokens receive certificates ensuring their names appear in the end credits.

Two Game-Changing Initiatives

1. Superfan Program – Fans staking at least 100 FAN tokens in a film project earn a spot in the end credits.
2. Film.io Film Funding Syndicate – Allows community members to invest in DAO-voted greenlit films alongside professional investors, bridging the gap between fans and industry.
