Filmfund.eth: Redefining Crypto Narrative - How Crypto and Its Community Are Portrayed
Filmfund.eth is a platform designed to transform how cryptocurrency and its community are portrayed in the media.
Founded by an experienced filmmaker and university lecturer 113kw with a passion for both cinema and the crypto ecosystem, the project aims to reshape the way the general public perceives crypto, focusing on positive and impactful narratives through documentaries, films, and series, while also giving the crypto community a platform to react to films, documentaries, and TV series that already exist.
Today, most portrayals of cryptocurrency in film and television lean heavily toward scams, fraud, and other illicit activities, reinforcing harmful stereotypes and misconceptions.
These depictions have ignored the many inspiring individuals who use crypto to drive meaningful change, promote decentralization, and foster innovation across industries, especially public goods. Filmfund.eth was born out of frustration with these one-sided portrayals and seeks to highlight the good-hearted, creative, and visionary people who are making a difference in the crypto space.
As a decentralized platform (DAO), Filmfund.eth allows the community to play an active role in shaping the stories that are told.
The platform not only supports film and media production but also serves as a space for critical engagement. Users can rate and review crypto-centric films, documentaries, and TV series, offering their insights and reactions to the stories told about cryptocurrency.
This interactive feature ensures that the public has a say in how the crypto narrative evolves, gathering all the information in one place.
The platform also invites filmmakers to submit scripts that portray cryptocurrency and its community in a positive light.
These submissions aim to emphasize the true potential of blockchain technology to revolutionize industries and benefit society. By focusing on narratives that highlight innovation, decentralization, and public good, Filmfund.eth hopes to create a more balanced and accurate portrayal of the crypto world.
The first funded project will be a documentary that profiles some of the most inspiring figures within the crypto space—specifically those who operate at the intersection of art, cryptocurrency, and public goods. This documentary will feature a selection of fine artists who are using NFTs to explore new dimensions of digital art while contributing to the public good through blockchain initiatives. This documentary will set the tone for the type of stories Filmfund.eth is dedicated to sharing, showing the world the positive impact of crypto on individuals, communities, and industries.
At the heart of Filmfund.eth is its commitment to decentralization and community-driven storytelling. As the platform grows, it will evolve into a fully operational DAO, where users earn governance tokens by voting on which projects should be funded.
This democratic model ensures that the content produced through Filmfund.eth is aligned with the values and priorities of its community. By submitting reviews, voting on projects, or contributing their own scripts, users become active participants in shaping the narrative around cryptocurrency.
Beyond producing films and documentaries, Filmfund.eth aims to be a hub for education and outreach.
Through partnerships with crypto communities, film universities, film festivals, and educational workshops, the platform seeks to foster a deeper understanding of blockchain technology and its real-world applications. By demystifying crypto and telling stories that focus on its positive impact, Filmfund.eth aims to inspire audiences and encourage them to see the technology and its people in a new light.
Ultimately, Filmfund.eth is not just a platform for filmmaking—it is a movement dedicated to changing the way the world perceives cryptocurrency.
Through transparency, community engagement, and ethical storytelling, Filmfund.eth is poised to revolutionize how crypto and its people are portrayed, ensuring that the true stories of this innovative space are told and celebrated.
Status of the Project
Filmfund.eth is currently in BETA, with a functional website at www.filmfundeth.com where users can review crypto-related movies. We also have a demo of our Web3 app, accessible at https://filmfund.113kw.net/demo.
The documentary is well-prepared, and we've been collecting footage with artists over the years.
However, as FILMFUND.ETH is a complex project, we consider it still in its early stages, with significant groundwork already laid through networking, community building, and initial development efforts.
As the dream project of its founder 113kw Kristina Weiserova, a filmmaker and film university instructor with extensive experience, Filmfund.eth has been actively engaging with both the crypto and film communities, both online and in-person. This includes attending multiple conferences and hackathons, where the project has received positive feedback and encouragement from key stakeholders in the crypto space.
To date, the project has participated in three hackathons—two in real life and one online—where valuable progress was made in developing the Filmfund.eth app.
Despite the challenges of working with limited funding, these hackathons helped refine the concept, gather feedback, and attract early interest from developers and industry experts. The team has been diligently working on the app’s design, though the lack of financial resources has slowed the pace of development.
Over the years, the founder has been gathering extensive notes and feedback, continually refining the concept of Filmfund.eth and adjusting its direction to better meet the needs of the community. This iterative process has sharpened the vision for the platform’s potential as a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), where the community plays a pivotal role in deciding which film projects to fund.
In addition to app development, Filmfund.eth has made substantial progress on its first documentary project. The founder has assembled a talented team of filmmakers and is in active contact with several subjects who will be featured in the documentary. These individuals are continuously making strides in the fields of crypto and public goods, representing the kind of positive stories Filmfund.eth seeks to highlight. The documentary will showcase the inspiring work of key figures within the crypto space and spotlight NFT artists who are pushing the boundaries of digital art.
While the project has strong momentum and community interest, securing further funding is essential to fully realize the vision for Filmfund.eth. With financial support, the team is poised to accelerate development and production, allowing them to bring both the platform and its first documentary to a broader audience.

Corporate Governance or Decision-Making Structure
Filmfund.eth operates as a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), designed to empower the community in the decision-making process regarding which projects receive funding and how resources are allocated. The governance structure is rooted in transparency, community engagement, and inclusivity, with the long-term goal of ensuring that the voices of filmmakers, creatives, and crypto enthusiasts are represented.
At the initial stages, the governance structure will be guided by the founder and two “Funding Fathers”—two early supporters who contributed financially during the project's early development. These three key backers will have an influential role in the early decisions regarding project direction and funding. However, as the platform evolves, decision-making power will gradually shift toward the community through the distribution of tokens.
As part of the DAO’s governance, token holders will have the ability to vote on which projects should be funded, ensuring that the platform operates in a democratic and decentralized manner. The token-based voting system allows the community to actively shape the future of the platform by participating in key decisions, such as which films, documentaries, or TV series will be produced. This system enables contributors of all backgrounds to have a stake in Filmfund.eth’s success.
In addition to voting on projects, the platform encourages users to review and comment on content related to cryptocurrency, including existing films, documentaries, and TV series. The comments and reviews section is designed to foster community engagement and critical discourse. To enhance transparency, the platform will differentiate between reviews and comments from general users and those from DAO members, ensuring that the feedback provided by community stakeholders is clearly visible and given appropriate weight.
Ultimately, Filmfund.eth’s decision-making model is a hybrid approach: beginning with the guidance of the “Funding Fathers,” and progressively transitioning to a fully community-driven DAO structure. As more users engage with the platform and receive tokens, the DAO will continue to grow, allowing for more diverse input and democratic control over the future of Filmfund.eth and its projects.
What is your inspiration?
In the words of the founder, 113kw:
"The inspiration behind Filmfund.eth stems from a deep frustration with how cryptocurrency is portrayed in mainstream media, especially on platforms like Netflix and in popular documentaries. There is a stark difference between the negative, often sensationalized depiction of crypto in the media and the reality of the crypto community I have come to know through my experiences attending various conferences around the world. During these events, I encountered so many incredible people—individuals who may have found financial success through crypto but are now using their wealth to give back to communities, support those in need, and drive positive change.
This disconnect between how the general public sees crypto and how it is portrayed in media is one of the core motivations for creating Filmfund.eth. I want to reshape that narrative and highlight the good-hearted, innovative individuals in the space who are genuinely working to build a better future.
My personal background plays a large role in this project as well. I have been involved in both the film industry and the crypto world for many years—first with Bitcoin, then Ethereum, and now other crypto projects. At the same time, I’ve worked in the film business since 2005, and I currently teach at a film school, sharing my passion for cinema with the next generation of filmmakers. As a lover of film history, I am deeply passionate about storytelling and believe that cinema has the power to shift perspectives and change narratives.
These experiences and passions are the driving forces behind Filmfund.eth. I want to leverage the power of film and storytelling to create a more balanced and positive representation of crypto, reflecting the real-world impact and the inspiring individuals behind the technology."
