In April 2021, Miguel Faus demonstrated a commitment to web3 that many allude to, yet few act on, and invested his savings in CryptoPunk #2098. Eighteen months later, the director, writer, and now leader in the vanguard of a swiftly maturing film3 sector, wrapped up filming on Calladita, the first European film funded entirely by NFTs.
Calladita is a Spanish-language film that tells the story of Ana, a Colombian maid working for a wealthy family belonging to the Catalan bourgeoisie. It combines independent film ideas with web3, whilst remaining distinct from the existing filmmaking narratives that we are used to today. If this is the evolution of cinema that NFTs promised, directors, producers, and storytellers will be looking to Miguel for inspiration and a roadmap to discover what decentralised movie-making is all about.
