Marty Bent interviews Ali Webb and Carlos Flores from Forager about their innovative White Paper Studio model that uses Bitcoin-backed funding to support independent filmmakers. They discuss how their approach separates investment risk from creative control, allowing artists to focus on original storytelling while providing investors with 5-10% annual returns through Bitcoin treasury strategies. The conversation covers Hollywood's shift toward risk-averse sequel culture, the challenges facing indie creators in accessing capital, and how Bitcoin can preserve human-driven content in an era of AI-generated media. Webb and Flores explain their bond structure that attracts non-traditional film investors and enables funding for projects that major studios might consider commercially unviable.
