The Indie Spirit Finds a Home in Film3
Independent filmmakers are built from persistence, improvisation, and a stubborn refusal to accept the word no as the end of anything. For most of us, “no” is just the beginning of production. Our job is always to find a way, to make production happen despite the obstacles. Somehow, that constant challenge has become part of what drives us to tell our stories in the first place.

It reshaped what I believe film3 can be, and the possibilities of the creator economy. So profoundly, I edited a short documentary as a love letter to the entire experience. Basecamp was ⚡completely ️electric⚡ from the first moment. “Hundreds of builders and founders, developers and creatives who are all building on Base…we’re touching all the grass while...

The Future of Onchain Cinema: Built by the People, for the People
As blockchain reshapes the future of cinema, film3 has emerged as a movement far larger than any one creator, company, or brand. It represents a shared effort—filmmakers experimenting with decentralized funding, collectives building distribution pipelines, and communities reshaping how stories reach audiences. When someone files multiple applications to trademark film3, it shifts a shared cultural vision into something controlled and exclusive. Even though we are disappointed in these actions...

The Future of Film Is Indie Again
For over a century, Hollywood has been the global epicenter of entertainment. But today, headlines question whether it’s a sinking ship. Film production in Los Angeles has slowed, major studios are restructuring, and audiences are consuming content in radically different ways. The industry is in the midst of a profound transformation. And at the heart of that transformation lies a powerful return to independent roots. Cinema isn’t crumbling. It’s decentralizing. It’s true that traditional indic...

Hey Film3 Fam, Kristen here. We’re just 10 days away from the Film3 Festival, but we’re already looking ahead with a clear vision for what’s needed next year.

How Film3 Breaks a Century of Gatekeeping
The dawn of cinema in the late 1890s and early 1900s was a brief, electric moment of experimentation and accessibility.
