Proposal overview
Zyko is a live action television series in the early stages of development looking for a blockchain partner to develop audience engagement and funding through NFTs in the lead up to the series being filmed. We have already developed 2 seasons with full character breakdowns and episode arcs. Additionally, we have designated the value that will be assigned to the NFTs associated with the show. Each NFT holder will not only receive royalties in perpetuity for being an early investor in the project, but they will also have the opportunity to vote on the direction the story takes as we progress further in the season, unlock characters and collectables, discover world secrets and gather series easter eggs within the ZykoVerse. They’ll also have the opportunity to attend live events such as red carpet premieres, cast and crew parties, and even visit the set during production to meet the filmmakers and stars. We are looking at actor Aleks Paunovic (Hawkeye) to star alongside Lisseth Chavez (Chicago PD), Olivia Swann (DC Legends of Tomorrow) and are developing character looks with make-up/creature designer Graden Van Erkelens (Van Helsing).
We are requesting $50K in equity-free contribution: $10K to complete creation and mint the first collection of NFTs with artist (@dzikawa) and her team, $8K for Deadline/Variety/Hollywood Reporter top tier marketing campaign promoting the Harmony NFT launch day info alongside casting announcements to build momentum, $12K Pronoia Studios developmental labor costs, $10K after forming a DAO for our community, and $10K after 1K holders. Along with funding, we are also looking for Harmony’s help with product development, fundraising, and talent recruitment.
We are a team of two internationally recognized, award winning film producers and one sought after make-up designer. We are confident that with the talent resources we have on the film production side, along with the visceral story, aesthetically pleasing characters aligned with the NFT community, and finally the world we have created for the screen, combined with Harmony’s fast and cost-effective ecosystem and NFT development resources, the ZykoVerse will be a huge success and very popular among the Harmony community and will translate to enormous exponential value to Harmony members getting involved early when the show is filmed and distributed on major streaming platforms.
Our milestones are:
- Weeks 1-4: NFT Collection 1 designed, finalized and minted
- Weeks 4-6: Launch tier 1 press campaign advertising Collection 1 release dates alongside series casting announcements
- Weeks: 6-7: Deploy to mainnet and ramp up marketing efforts
- First month after launch: Form DAO
