  • Why team is best for the funds

We have a team of experts who have been practicing in the Web3 World for more than a year now and also experts in Film and theatrical field for more than 10 years.

Daniel is a production Manager who has worked for different Media Companies in Lagos Nigeria. He’s a specialist in Drone Pilot and managing a Film or Drama Production. He has been the on-field soldier for all Thespians DAO projects. He does most of the work, but unfortunately gets the least notice. He is a hard-working fellow in pre-production and production activities. He has been active in the NEAR Ecosystem for more than a year.

Henry ( @Henry126 )

Henry is a world class cinematographer. His experience in the cinematic world had given him International visibility. His first travel to Dubai was in the bid to share his experience in the film production world.

Femdography ( @Femdography )

Jobonson Smart:

My Team is the best to receive the funding because we are built with experience and very eager to work. This has been seen on our past 3 projects as we onboarded nothing less than 70 New NEARians, traveling more than a 12 hours journey to spread the gospel of NEAR and different DAOs like NEAR Digital Fashion DAO came out from the activities of the Thespians DAO Activities in the Eastern Part of Nigeria.

  • Impact

Our 3 main Goals in Thespians DAO are to Entertain, Educate and Onboard. We have successfully made use of our Creativity to onboard more than 70 New NEARians and educate them on the advantage of Web3, Crypto and why they should operate under the NEAR Ecosystem. We will continue to onboard a great number of people and move them from web2 Creatives to Web3 Creatives.

We are promoting the Web3 possibilities of practicing Drama NFT in Africa, Web3 Drama Ticketing and creating self sustainibilty platforms for Actors and Actresses to make money for themselves through hosting of stage drama and Cinema premiering of Film Dramas in Nigeria and Africa as a whole. We are the first DAO from Africa to mint a Stage Drama under the NEAR Protocol.

As part of our “the3flix” Project, we would be collaborating with NEARhub team to stream live some Film Drama and Stage Drama Coaching Classes, which will draw web2 users to NEARhub to learn how to: make up, costume, shoot, act, stage design, script and other important things to learn in the Art of Film Making and Stage Drama.

In the course of our activities this year, Tamago will witness the first Film Sound Track from Thespians DAO.

Arrangements have been put in place to see that these projects work out and our social media publicity team headed by Spicytee will see we generate traffic before and during the Premiering of these contents.

  • 2023 One Year Roadmap

In the advent of new guidelines by the Creatives DAO, we have to readjust our Roadmap to achieve NFs goals and targets for DAOs.

Apart from mass onboarding and opening of hundreds of active NEAR wallets, we would pay more attention to creating and selling of NFTs; providing contents for NEARhub, Tamago, Mintbase and Paras. Including Self Sustainibilty though IRL crypto event ticketing and revenues from our contents on YouTube (which will be monetized before the report of this proposal, if and when approved).

Our contents would come in forms of Stage Dramas, Dance Dramas, Film Dramas, Radio/Audio Dramas, Onboarding Classes, Tutorials on How-To-Do and YouTube Monetized Contents.

First Quarter

We will register Thespians DAO as a Legal Wrapper. We consider using service like

https://otoco.io/ (or any other) that offer LLC wrapper to safeguard the name on the Blockchain.

We will be hosting a Short Film Drama that will be premiered on NEARhub before upload on YouTube.

We would host a Bounty to inspire the community to follow our Film Drama streaming on NEARhub and as well to achieve a large number of Audience on the Metaverse. There will be massive social media publicity to draw traffic to the space and attract Web2 Artistes to participate too.

There will be massive online publicity growth for our Social Media pages and we will apply for YouTube Monetization to give us a good platform to generate revenue for contents that will be coming out from Thespians DAO Audio-Visual Studio.

We would also embark on getting the script for our first NFT Film Drama Series ready. We would also run a documentary/interview with the Nollywood writer as we onboard him into the NEAR Ecosystem.

We will kick off with series of production meetings ahead of our Film Drama Series which will be coming up at the second quarter of the funding year 2023.

We would be putting aside savings to design and launch our “the3flix” NEARhub Space; which will be spearheaded by Jeff of NEARhub Team.

Second Quarter

From the experience and success gathered with the short film in the first quarter, we will be going on Set for our Film Drama NFT Project. This project would be a 6 Episode Film, that will be shot in Thespians Audio-Visual Studio Space. Three Episodes in the second quarter and the remaining three episodes in the third quarter of project funding.

Plans for the Film Drama NFT Project includes:

  • Live stream on NEARhub

  • Soundtrack premiere on Tamago

  • Minting of BTC Pictures & Videos on Mintbase and Paras

  • Making money from YouTube Monetization

  • Streaming on “the3flix” dApp when launched

To encourage alot of traffic on the NEARhub Space, we would be hosting a Bounty during the Film Drama NFT Premiering.

We would be hosting a live Vodcast in Thespians DAO Audio-Visual Studio Space with Web3 gurus to discuss “The effects of Web3 on Art, Science and Technology”. This Vodcast will be transmitted live to an audience of more than 100,000 viewers on Instagram. And we would need to talk to Africans in a way Africans should understand crypto and the NEAR Ecosystem in particular.

There will be massive online publicity growth for our Social Media pages, as we will be hitting nothing less than 10,000 followers all across our Social Media Handles.

We would also be putting aside savings to continue the design and launch of “the3flix” NEARhub Space; which will be spearheaded by Jeff of NEARhub Team.

Third Quarter

We will be completing our Film Drama NFT Project in this quarter and kickstart another promotional strategy. Building more on the things that worked last quarter and correcting strategies that didn’t work.

Plans for the Film Drama NFT Project includes:

  • Live stream on NEARhub

  • Soundtrack premiere on Tamago

  • Minting of BTC Pictures & Videos on Mintbase and Paras

  • Web3 Ticketed premiering on Cinema Houses across Nigeria

  • Streaming on “the3flix” dApp when launched

To encourage alot of traffic on the NEARhub Space, we would be hosting a Bounty during the Film Drama NFT Premiering.

Thespians DAO would be hosting a film editing Master Class in Thespians DAO Audio-Visual Studio Space, the Masterclass is to encourage upcoming Film Makers and as well onboard them from Web2 to Web3. Part of the contents to be produced during the Master Class would be NEAR advertising materials, which will be posted and promoted on YouTube, and pictures minted on Paras.

There will be massive online publicity growth for our Social Media pages, as we will be hitting nothing less than 15,000 followers all across our Social Media Handles.

  • What is the goal of the DAO’s objective?

Our 3 Main Goals in Thespians DAO are to Onboard, Entertain and Educate. And we are creatively structuring our activities to be in line with these Goals and that of NF.

We have come to understand the essence of a Community, and are making strategic plans to build community that will see values in our Arts and build with us, as well as buying and reselling of our NFTs; and learning from the experts who will be working with us as well.

There are alot of ideas, techs and dApps coming up in every minute in the Ecosystem, many people find it hard to understand these developments by just reading about them, this is where we come in…we are structuring stories to help communicate these ideas in acting both on Stage, Film and Audio Dramas.

Thespians DAO is explaining the benefits and usefulness of these dApps and techs, not through word of mouth, but in flesh and blood through acting.

We are also developing ideas to help us into self sustainibilty as we produce these contents, this includes NEAR Web3 Ticketing, YouTube Monetization, streaming of Contents on “the3flix” after it’s launching; promotion and selling of NFTs.

  • Roadmap to reach the goal

We are arranging Stage Dramas, Film Dramas and Audio Dramas to help in communicating NEAR dApps, and we are also going to promote contents to reach wider audience and sell more NFTs, as well as making money from our YouTube contents which will be shot in Thespians DAO Audio-Visual Studio Space.

We are going to drive alot of traffic to NEARhub, and we are looking at about 30 - 50 visiting audience to the NEARhub, on the days we would go live.

As an arm of our “the3flix” project, we are kick-starting the creation of our Cinema-like Space on NEARhub, to give Thespians freedom and room to create dramatic contents for the Metaverse and participate in full as well.

We want to be able to make our own money and provide some funds for the DAO Activities, so we won’t be always relying on NF funds; this has created the need to Monetize our YouTube and as well massively run strategic promotion for our contents and activities, so that we can sell more of our NFTs and make money from Social Media as well.

  • How is the longer term goal divided into milestones making the DAO reach there?

In the first Quarter of 2023 Funding Year, we want to have a Legal Wrapper, build an outstanding footprint on the NEARhub (having to partner with the NEARhub Team), as we also start the designs of our “the3flix” NEARhub Space by Jeff.

We are also shooting a short Film to heal the youths and redirect their mindsets to revenue generation through creation of NFTs, inspired by NEAR Protocol.

We are starting marathon publicity to help us build a better Community and sell our NFTs, and to make more money through YouTube Monetization. This will prompt other intra-DAO-funded activities to be posted on our YouTube, apart from those funded by NF.

In the Second Funding Quarter of 2023, we will see Thespians DAO producing the first Film Drama NFT Series. This will have 3 episodes. After Post-production, we will partner with Cinema houses to run a ticketed premier event, where audience would come to watch the Drama and in so doing learn about the activities of NEAR Protocol and dApps running on them.

We will kickstart the development of “the3flix” dApp, and make sure it goes live. This would be in partnership with the Developer DAO. Discussions are ongoing on how to make this dApp a successful one.

There will also be Drama Preview on the NEARhub and bounties will be awarded to audience who paid maximum attention during the Premiering. Online publicity will take place to draw massive audience to the Metaverse as usual. We will be targeting 30-50 audience on that day.

We are hosting a Vodcast too on Thespians DAO Audio-Visual Studio Space, which will be live on Prince Iyke Instagram (with more than 100,000 followers: https://instagram.com/princeiyk_?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=)

This will enable us generate much traffic for the Vodcast and as well reach out to a large number of people.

We will continue the funding and design of our “the3flix” NEARhub Space which will be supervised by Jeff of NEARhub.

Marathon online promotion to enable us promote and sell our NFTs would still be ongoing, and our social media contents will be promoted massively. Contents would be created to generate revenue on YouTube too.

In the Third Funding Quarter of 2023, we will complete the remaining 3 Episodes of the Film Drama NFT Series Project.

As usual, after Post-production, we will partner with Cinema houses to run a ticketed premier event, where audience would come to watch the Drama and in so doing learn about the activities of NEAR Protocol and dApps running on them.

There will also be Drama Preview on the NEARhub and bounties will be awarded to audience who paid maximum attention during the Premiering. Online publicity will take place to draw massive audience to the Metaverse as usual. We will be targeting 30-50 audience on that day.

We will complete the funding and design of our “the3flix” NEARhub Space, and we are expected to have the full design completed and handed over to us in this funding Quarter.

Marathon online promotion to enable us promote and sell our NFTs would still be ongoing, and our social media contents will be promoted massively. Contents would be created to generate revenue on YouTube too.

There will be a Master-class for Editors in Thespians DAO Audio-Visual Studio Space. Contents will be generated here and posted on Mintbase, Paras and Social Media platforms.

@john.bank is one of those to receive the goodnews over here :blush:

So there may be daily increase in our on-chain members during or before your review @creativesdao-council

Here is a virgin land for Web3 and I don’t think they have heard anything about NEAR.

Hi @Roxy,

Thank you for the proposal.

Can you elaborate more on the impacts that this project bring to the ecosystem? noting that you’re requesting $1,800 for 20+ wallets & associated products. Should there be any expected views/KPI on this, that will elaborate better the project that you’re trying to do.

Also, I’m not agree with this funding item:

Please note that this only counted as “marketing hack/trick” and Creatives won’t pay for this.

Thank you!

Thank you @williamx for the request for clarification. Sorry I have been running around to help set up the Togo regional community and just getting online now.

Concerning your First question, the goal we are trying to achieve is setting up a foundation for Crypto/Web3 Event Ticketing Culture. It’s true we may not generate back $1,800 for NEAR immediately during the event, but we are setting up a culture that will generate millions of dollars for NEAR and active daily NEAR wallet usage and participation on the long run.

What do I mean by that?

In a one year school session, there are approximately more than 100s of ticketed events going on in University of Nigeria Nsukka only. And these events have the tradition of collecting ticket on the door, this causes chaos, fight and lack of transparency.

What are we bringing to them?

We are bringing to them the knowledge of crypto and the awareness that their audience can actually at the comfort of their homes buy these tickets using $NEAR and it will prevent chaos and improve transparency in their events. These we will teach them during the seminar, and will use our own event as an experiment to show them how these things work. My crew will also be accessible to carry them along on the long run. Now imagine there are 300 ticketed events in the school year (which is always more than) and we have 300 audience in each, we will have events generating nothing less 90,000 $NEAR from the school (if there tickets is $2 pee ticket). So take our project of $1,800 as an advert for NEAR to build a school crypto event ticketing culture in Nigeria Universities, and an avenue to create NFTs and a source of generating traffic for NEARhub, as we are using same end product of the event for our Metaverse activities in Project 3.

Can we have Upto 100 audience during the event?
Absolutely, we can have up to 100 students during the event but we put 20 there as the minimum. We wouldn’t like to tell the community we will have 300 audience and then not meet target. We would rather prefer a surprise audience rate after the event. The ticketing method will help in accountability and transparency.

We are creating a studio soundtrack for the stage Drama, which serves as interludes during break or change of props or while the actors change. This soundtrack is what we will mint on Tamago after the event.

The video unlockable is the full video that we will post as an unlockable to our minted pictures on Mintbase. The video is serving two purposes; one as an unlockable and two as an entertaining material for our Metaverse activity as you can see in project 3. We are streaming it live on NEARhub for our Metaverse event.

We are keeping our YouTube and social media alive by these video highlights as well as some pictures gotten during these events. I don’t know any reason why you said you won’t fund it. Because these activities and materials are what we will use to attract our social media audience and draw them close to NEAR.

Ok… If Creatives won’t pay for these, I would rather delete them.

We have done the required clarification on the proposal. And are willing to use some of Council Work Salary to achieve the ones that can’t be funded by Creatives.

Our intention is to keep creating and to have massive impact on NEAR.

Hello @creativesdao-council members, we did some revision on the proposal and would like to run it over for June Proposal.

We hope NF sees value in our (intended) works, so we could resume activities and prove ourselves once again.
