The Degen Generation Documentary Series project found at degendocumentary.com continues to take twists and turns in many directions down many rabbit holes and while I have mapped out a first episode and continue to work with it I asked myself what If this production was not a series, but a film.
This is what I envisioned and what my trusty assistant came up with as a suggestion. For the record this is a draft and you will have seen similar movies before, just not within the crypto degen category. I dont dare ask my trusty assistant what the budget would be for producing such a film, but given the five degens likely would have large bags to play with it wont be cheap to make.
Anyway heres the essentials:
Title: “Crypto Convergence”
Genre: Comedy/Drama
Logline: In the fast-paced world of cryptocurrency, five disparate individuals with one thing in common – a penchant for risk-taking and a love for the crypto space – find their lives unexpectedly entwined when they stumble upon a mysterious free bag of cryptocurrency. As they navigate the unpredictable highs and lows of the market, their paths cross in unexpected ways, leading to a rollercoaster of hilarious and heartwarming adventures.
