Documentary on Cardano's governance

[IMPACT] Please describe your proposed solution.

Currently, cryptos are seen from the outside as places for speculation and NFTs.

Innovation in governance is still almost totally unknown to the general public. It would be beneficial for Cardano and Catalyst to be more widely known and understood, in order to attract quality participants that may not even be in cryptos yet. There can be several types of initiatives and tools in order to do so. We propose to create a documentary that will explain and illustrate the possibilities of blockchain governance. It will serve as a pleasant and motivating introduction for anyone to learn on this subject. We envision it as a quality documentary that is both entertaining, educational and aesthetic. It will document the exceptional nature of what is happening on Cardano.

Key themes :

-Explanation of the links between governance and blockchain

-Governance ambitions (the internet nation)

-Attract people interested in the challenges of innovation in governance

-Promote culture around these questions

-Explanation of the role of DREPS

-Interview of Catalyst personalities

-Interview of one or more Dreps candidates

-Use of Town Halls archives

-Integration of archive images related to the history of governance, 

-Perspective on the history of democracy, and how the Voltaire Era on Cardano is opening a new chapter in it.

-Explanation of the importance of decentralization

Film length: 10-15 minutes

Language : French with english subtitles

[IMPACT] Please describe how your proposed solution will address the Challenge that you have submitted it in.

This documentary will help to attract a new public to Cardano’s governance and the DREP role, including people passionate about governance innovation. It will also help to diversify the candidates profiles, especially toward french speaking people. As it will be released under a CCO license, community members will have the possibility to release translations in other languages. 

[IMPACT] What are the main risks that could prevent you from delivering the project successfully and please explain how you will mitigate each risk?

On this type of projects, the main risk would be to make a documentary that might soon be obsolete, considering the fast paced evolution of Catalyst. To avoid this, we will focus more on the first principles of governance, and how the larger vision of Cardano fits in this. We will aim at making the movie timeless by depicting the larger view, including contemporary events as testimonies of milestones in this long term adventure.

[FEASIBILITY] If you are funded, will you return to Catalyst in a later round for further funding? Please explain why / why not.

We are here for the long term, so we may return for other proposals, but this one won’t need further funds to be completed.

[FEASIBILITY] Are you or any member of your team working on any other proposals in this Fund9?

[FEASIBILITY] Are you or your team working on any other proposals from previous Funds?

[AUDITABILITY] Please describe what you will measure to track your project's progress, and how will you measure these?

We will apply the traditional framework of audiovisual project management, in which every phase of production is clearly identified within a time frame. We will assure that each phase is completed. At the end it will be very easy to audit the achievement of the project with the release of the movie.

[AUDITABILITY] What does success for this project look like?

Our wish is to make a beautiful and inspiring movie that makes it easy to understand the immense potential we see in Catalyst and Cardano. A great success would be that a large public is aware of this potential and vision, so that many candidates from different backgrounds can be interested in joining the movement.

[AUDITABILITY] Please provide information on whether this proposal is a continuation of a previously funded project in Catalyst or an entirely new one.

This is an entirely new proposal
