The NFT is taking over Netflix
Lift’s storyline begins at an art auction in Venice, where a unique NFT from an enigmatic digital artist named ‘N8’ is spotlighted. The auctioneer reveals the presence of N8 and breaks his anonymity to auction this unique asset.
What sets the NFT apart is its dynamic generation of art based on a 30-second live feed, capturing both the sale and the buyer, while the art is influenced by Van Gogh’s style.
Amid the excitement, Cyrus Whitaker (Hart) – head of a group pretending to be art lovers but actually thieves – bids for $12 million and secures the NFT for $20 million. The team’s plan involves stealing the NFT and kidnapping N8 to increase its value.
After the artist’s kidnapping, they sell the NFT for a whopping $89 million, leveraging the notoriety of the incident to increase its value.
NFTs in TV content creation
There is a notable shift happening in the entertainment industry with the gradual integration of NFTs and crypto. HELLO Labs’ upcoming TV series ‘Killer Whales’ is an example of this trend. Further evidence of this movement can be seen in ‘Krapopolis‘, an NFT-powered television series created by the creative minds behind ‘Rick and Morty’.
