Hi - I have heard of some documentaries currently being made about various aspects of Bitcoin. I'd love to get more information on the range of activity of these projects and whether the topic is already saturated or if there is a need for something new or different to be done.

The potential exists for a broadcast documentary looking at the developments at this early stage. If anyone is interested in pursuing this in Sydney Australia let me know.

Cheers

  We might need a local crew in Sydney. However, I am having trouble organizing a definite appointment with the two people I want to interview there.

  theres the "Rise and Rise of Bitcoin" documentary which looked really promising... was supposed to come out back in april. Its not almost september and no word on the actual release. Kind of retarded IMO. Their whole excuse is they are coming up with "distribution deals" to get it to as many people as possible... which still makes no sense to me because they could just throw it up on youtube + a torrent for free and it would be available to millions of people instantly, and they would probably get a ton of donations + ad revenue if money is what they are concerned about... now by the time it comes out its going to be soooo outdated

  Thanks Cryptonaut. Yes - this is the interesting thing about releasing films nowadays. There is the dilemma of just to post it and see how the world responds - or do deals - and try and secure some kind of "better" financial returns. I know this problem first hand from some of my projects. I'm beginning to favour the model of a) create a website - which has both free public info and resources with b) a premium subscription side with deeper level of resources and more videos etc. Kinda like pay per view but more extensive in what is given for the $.

  I do feel a model like that could work for a topic like cryptocurrency... especially if geared to the growing tidal wave of newbies... myself included. AND its a great way to learn and go down the most "approved" path, if there is such a thing.

  I hadn't heard of that one - Rise and Rise of Bitcoin - I found it easily... Visit these links for more info. http://BitcoinDoc.com AKA http://www.TheRiseAndRiseofBitcoin.com and Twitter = http://www.Twitter.com/BitcoinDoc

  Possibly anyone thinking of embarking on a big documentary project could collaborate with a number of filmmaker folk like they did for the Occupy Wall St one. Rise and Rise of Bitcoin looks like it is the classic small crew scrambling to get it made... albeit with crowdfunding support.

  Anyway, I'm keen to hear of any other projects too... please include refs and URLS :-)
