Blockchain & the Hollywood Supply Chain

Steve Wong, Bjorn Obermeier

The global system behind entertainment is opaque. It impacts content creators who do not know what, when, and how their content is consumed. Imagine the impact if all stakeholders had access to the same facts – Guilds, Unions, Studios, Record Labels, Publishers, Distributors, and Viewers. Blockchain technology offers this opportunity. In this article, we will explore new methods for enabling accountability in pre-production, production, post-production, distribution, and consumption with a secure chain of custody for Intellectual property, royalties and more.
