The Filmmaker Who Nearly Died for His Art w/Trevor Hawkins
from Shakesha and the White Boy · host Shakesha and the White Boy
Trevor Hawkins, the first filmmaker in the history of the world to sell shares of a film via NFTs, joins the show to discuss how he got the idea to turn his movie into a series of non-fungibles and what the SEC had to say about it. We also cover the moral contradictions of playing in the NFT space, how to navigate the area where your creative soul crashes into the brutal reality of life and needing to make money to survive, and how he almost died during the production of his debut feature film "Lotawana." On WTF, we react to the news that Elon Musk's company Neuralink is advancing its efforts to plant computer chips in human brains. Ryan shares a tweet from an old enemy of the show that is related to a story he told on the very first episode of SATWB.
