Proposal

The Many Hats of Ben

(working title)

TL;DR Discover the transformative power of Nouns DAO through the journey of Benbodhi

Ben spent a few months lurking in the original Nouns Discord before saying anything. Now, he is one of the most devoted and loved members of the community, a funded prop builder, and even co-founder of a fork of Nouns.

Short documentary film (20 minutes) | Budget: $48,970 USDC

THE PLAN The Nouns DAO community is about the passionate individuals behind it. With this documentary series, we aim to spotlight these inspiring journeys. First up, Benbodhi. Ben with hxnzΞ, Gami and Aubtoshi @ SXSW Sydney

We'll track Ben's story and his daily schedule, which occasionally includes working 16+ hours a day on some of our favorite Nouns projects:

  • Nouncil
  • TNS
  • Gnars DAO
  • Alps DAO
  • Prop 218 as part of proposal 218, the largest ⌐◨-◨ in the world were manufactured.

THE SCHEDULE We will deliver the final cut within 3 to 4 months of being funded. Around February 2024 with filming scheduled for late November 2023.

THE ASK - $48,970 USDC

THE FUTURE We have reached out to a few of our favourite Nounish builders, devs and artists and ultimately decided to start small with only one documentary for now.

We will move on to other stories after we deliver Ben’s and the community is happy with the result.

If successful, we will make new proposals for the following stages:

  • Stage 01 - Australian Wave: Gami, Mr. Seaks, TBD
  • Stage 02 - Brazilian Storm: JP, Vlad, TBD
  • Stage 03 - USA, Canada: TBD
  • Stage 04 - Latin America: TBD
  • Stage 05 - Europe: TBD
  • Stage 06 - Asia/Japan: TBD

This is a 2 to 3-year plan and the idea is to save on budget and time by having the same film crew shoot more than one story in each continent.

Please get in touch with us if you have suggestions of people/places/projects we should be considering.

Also, since all the material will be cc0, we can think of it as building blocks of a feature-length documentary in the not-so-distant future. And anything else anyone wants to build with it.

THE TEAM We are essentially the same crew from “Non-fungible Aotearoa”. Proposal 405 funded us to submit the documentary to 50+ film festivals: https://nouns.wtf/vote/405
