Challenges
We were not able to schedule the “screening and talking circle” in August, due to the delay in receiving funding, we did not have adequate time for promotion.
Solutions
Instead of hosting the documentary screening event, we have pivoted and turned our efforts and resources into focusing on an opportunity to present at NEARCON, in collaboration with Primordia DAO and Lowkeygiant, to further engage with the community by offering a visual presentation of our work within the virtual space.
Connected with this upcoming event, we have:
- Engaged in ongoing promotion of NEARCON including through posting our recent video produced for The Kin DAO showcasing visuals of our collaborative work this past year.
- Created of our Seven Vision Mintbase store! → Seven Vision
- Minted our first NFT on Mintbase → Golden Alchemy
- Committed to ongoing promotion highlighting our work as proud community members of NEAR.
