Make A Killing: KillRoy Is Here For Creators
Kevin Smith’s NFT Film Grants Creative Opportunities for Collectors
You might have heard that film and comic legend Kevin Smith is launching the first ever full-length NFT film on Legendao.
Smith and SCRT Labs are making NFT history by minting the first ever full-length feature film on the new Legendao Secret NFT platform, requiring the purchase of one of 5555 generative art NFTs as a ticket to the show.
The fact that this is a historical drop from the NFT film perspective is obvious. No one’s ever done something of this scope before.
The film is encrypted and hosted via decentralized storage, so it’s not like anyone can go in to right-click and save it — the only way it can be accessed is via one of 5,555 generative art PFPs, each one of which grants you the decryption key.
But acting as a key to a heretofore unseen Kevin Smith horror comedy is only one of the capacities of the KillRoy Was Here NFT.
The KillRoy Was Here collection is a revolutionary NFT drop connecting a creator who’s already made it — Kevin Smith — with the creators of tomorrow.
Why Legendao NFTs?
Legendao NFTs will overthrow the current gatekeeping models of creative expression and exposure. Their intrinsic combination of public and private metadata completely explodes the existing IRL structures of digital distribution for creators and owners via the following attributes:
・Collectors who want to utilize the creative perks of these NFTs can now work alongside the established creators they admire and develop content based on original IP. These collectors will still retain ownership of their own derivatives and even profit from them as per each creator’s specifications.
・Legendao NFT creators have more control regarding who can access their work and foster a closer connection to their fanbase.
“Digital sharing and streaming no doubt revolutionized the entertainment industry, but they also caused piracy issues and profit loss for creators. Through partnerships like ours with Smith and Tarantino, Legendao can work alongside creators to develop projects that they can share without losing ownership.” — SCRT Labs and Legendao founder Guy Zyskind
We’re honored that Kevin Smith’s KillRoy Was Here is the first Legendao NFT granting these perks to its collectors and view him as a natural partner in the integral mission of cutting out the middle man when it comes to creative distribution.
KillRoy Was Here —The Perks
“My dream is for ‘KillRoy’ to be its own self-thriving franchise within the world of crypto and NFTs, without ever having to step outside of the blockchain,” Kevin Smith, interview with CoinDesk.
When you collect a KillRoy Was Here NFT you get the following:
1 KWH PFP
Access to the KWH full-length feature film
1 of 20 PDFs of different script chapters signed by Kevin Smith
1 of 20 different comic videos
Creative rights to your PFP, including the ability to monetize it
It’s All Yours
Your KillRoy PFP will be one of 5,555 1/1 generative art NFTs with its own combination of art and rarity traits (rarity ranking impact is still under discussion). The NFT grants you specific rights and perks:
When you collect this PFP, you are the exclusive owner of this 1/1 NFT including to its IP rights. This means you can use the images to create your own KillRoy art and products and make a profit. Lunchboxes, draft beer, you name it. It’s your piece of art and you have full IP rights to do whatever you want with it.
And what Kevin Smith wants is for you to help him create the sequel to KillRoy Was Here.
Kevin Smith elaborates, “When you buy the KillRoy NFT, you get exclusive access to the movie but more importantly, the specific version of KillRoy you get is YOUR KillRoy to do with whatever you want: Make your own movie, turn it into a cartoon, license him for lunchboxes! We started the story, now YOU get to continue it with your very own version of our titular character! And along with a brand new chapter I’ll shoot next year, the shorts and animation that the KillRoy NFT owners create with their own KillRoys will make up the bulk of our sequel anthology.”
