The YIN DAO & Filmbackers Partnership
Together, we are launching the world’s first Web3-funded movie trilogy—Patient 10301—the inaugural installment of the p3 series, a thought-provoking exploration of humanity’s collision with sentient technology. Currently in pre-production, this independently funded project reimagines storytelling by merging cinematic excellence with blockchain-powered community participation.
The p3 Trilogy: A New Era of Immersive Storytelling Inspired by the existential intrigue of The Twilight Zone and the dystopian depth of Black Mirror, p3 unfolds a gripping narrative that interrogates the ethical and societal implications of artificial intelligence. The trilogy leverages Web3 tools to transform passive audiences into active collaborators, enabling Yin DAO members to:
Co-Create: Influence plot elements, character arcs, and immersive world-building through decentralized governance.
Own IP Rights: Tokenized intellectual property (IP) ensures community members share in long-term revenue streams, from box office returns to merchandise and licensing.
Monetize Participation: Exclusive NFTs grant access to behind-the-scenes content, virtual premieres, and royalties tied to the trilogy’s success.
Strategic Partnerships for Cinematic Excellence Yin DAO and Filmbackers are joined by Mentaverse, to deliver unparalleled sound design and scoring. This collaboration ensures p3 achieves both artistic prestige and commercial viability, appealing to global audiences while embedding Web3 innovation into every frame.
Why This Partnership Matters
Disrupting Traditional Financing: By decentralizing funding, Yin DAO eliminates gatekeepers, allowing global investors to back high-potential projects traditionally reserved for studios.
Profit Sharing: Revenue from box office sales, streaming platforms, and IP monetization is distributed transparently to $YIN token holders.
Market Leadership: Positioned at the forefront of decentralized media, Yin DAO and Filmbackers are setting a blueprint for community-driven entertainment empires.

A Vision for the Future of Film The p3 trilogy is more than a film series—it’s a proof-of-concept for Web3’s potential to democratize creativity. By aligning financial returns with cultural impact, Yin DAO empowers its community to shape the future of entertainment while earning from its success.
Inspired by Rod Serling’s, “The Twilight Zone” and leveraging the power of community participation, and the power of web3 to create immersive storytelling; we refer to p3 as Black Mirror for the blockchain.
