Coinbase announces Bored Ape film trilogy titled "The Degen Trilogy"

“We are creating a three part interactive film with the @BoredApeYC & @apecoin communities”.

According to the latest news, Coinbase's director of marketing for entertainment and culture William Swann said:
"Mutant Apes, another project owned by Yuga Labs, will receive the same treatment, along with other popular projects yet to be disclosed."

The film industry is targeting NFTs to revolutionize the industry

Indie films, more commonly known as Indie Films, have also made headlines. FX Empire reported that indie films are targeting NFTs and DAOs as a major source of funding. In February, director Miguel Faus announced a crowdfunding for “Calladita,” with NFT and other rewards offered to those who contributed.
