In addition to allowing individuals to become owners of specific works of art, NFT also grants co-ownership and co-producer titles for this short animated film. Animated film production:
“Additionally, the project also has an educational character, as all participants in the project have the opportunity to follow the production of an animated film from start to finish, and also participate in the production of an animated film. The goal is to fully integrate and harness the power of decentralized ownership and production.”
The blockchain contract for this project was developed by Blank’s team.
Prime Render Studios has been an active participant in the blockchain world since 2017, so using NFT technology and its applications in the art world was a natural and logical next step.

“You pass Ljubljana, then Zagreb, and finally arrive at the terminus of the railway, the small coastal Mediterranean town of Split. Failed socialist ideas and the promise of the American dream.”
Local musicians and artists were among the first to embrace the avant-garde counter-establishment ideology and became part of the modernist movement of the time.
“This is our setting. It’s a small Mediterranean town called Split, and our story is set there.”

Collections have been made and are available for purchase, and while we are slowly approaching the significant figure of 1000 Lokal NFTs purchased, the film is still in the pre-production stage where the foundation for the entire film is being laid. The visuals are resolved and we have a first draft of the script.
“But there is still a lot of work to be done. First, of course, we need to close the financial structure of the entire project. The financial sector, including crypto, which is closely related to our projects.
Luckily, we are primarily looking for funding outside of that sector, and we also expect the recovery of the crypto market to further help our projects come to fruition. ”
