Bentonville Film Festival (BFF) presents The Cinematic Center NFT, featuring digital art created by Sarah Richardson from Little Rock. This is BFF’s inaugural NFT collection.
This NFT provides access to a future, exclusive virtual event with Geena Davis, along with a few other surprises over time. Additionally, for every 50 NFTs minted, BFF will award a Cinematic Membership to an NFT holder through a raffle that will be held after the close of the 2022 festival. The entertainment industry has a growing interest in exploring new funding models with Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs).
A private workshop for filmmakers and invited industry at this year's festival gave guests a discounted rate to get a wallet with the help of NFT experts that have created a seismic change in the cryptoverse for women. This exclusive conversation took place with filmmakers in the industry using crypto to fund films that may.

At ACS, we believe that if we provide filmmakers an arena to exhibit their talents, and film enthusiasts a healthy diet of quality programming, we can inspire more Arkansans to make and watch more films. By supporting filmmakers, festivals, theaters and young people interested in filmmaking throughout the state, we hope to create statewide network, pool Arkansas’s resources and be an umbrella organization that feeds all things film. We believe a rising tide lifts all boats.
To be a filmmaker, we have to connect to create. A painter needs a brush, paint and a canvas. A director needs a writer, a cinematographer, a sound mixer, production designer, editor, actors, distributors, and an audience. We cannot do it alone. This art form forces one to collaborate and thus, creates jobs. Filmmaking is unique in the arts in this way. It takes an army.
