Hollywood Welcomes NFTs: The Animated Series 'Gossamer' Will Seamlessly Integrate Blockchain Features

New York, NY, USA (June 23, 2022) – The NFT metaverse gaming company XYZZY, based in Miami, is collaborating with BRON Digital, a branch of BRON Media Corp, to develop a unique NFT collection associated with a series of eight episodes.

During a glitzy event held in New York City last night at the famous NFT.NYC convention, the Dubai-based Decentralised Investment Group (DIG), the parent company of XYZZY, celebrated their thrilling partnership with BRON. They announced plans to create an NFT collection that will accompany BRON's animated series 'Gossamer,' which consists of eight half-hour episodes.

'Gossamer' draws its inspiration from the acclaimed young adult novel by Lois Lowry, known for titles like The Giver and The Willoughbys. The series boasts a star-studded voice cast featuring Academy Award winner Forest Whitaker alongside talents like Thomasin McKenzie, Vera Farmiga, Richard E. Grant, Wilmer Valderrama, Alanna Masterson, and the debuting Courtney Rosemont.

The series' musical direction will be led by Grammy Award-winning artist and producer Timbaland, along with his longtime collaborator Gary Marella, who co-founded Beatclub. They are set to curate music for 'Gossamer' that draws from the talents of various Beatclub artists, producers, and songwriters.

The animated series 'Gossamer' will launch alongside a collection of 10,000 NFTs featuring the show's adult characters. To add an interactive layer, a play-to-earn game inspired by the series will also be in development, positioning it as one of the pioneering series to debut in theatres, on TV, and within the Web3 landscape at the same time.

'This NFT project is truly tailored for the big screen,' stated Aaron L. Gilbert, CEO and Chairman of BRON Media Corp. He elaborated on the connection between the 10,000 'Gossamer' NFTs and the movie series, emphasizing that audiences will engage with the same beloved characters across both the screens and in the NFT collectibles. 'This is an unprecedented intersection of Web3 and mainstream media,' he added.

XYZZY, with a focus on creating blockchain-based games, NFT digital assets, and tokenized ownership opportunities, plans to leverage its expertise for this unique Hollywood NFT initiative, collaborating with DIG's international Web3 advisory capabilities.

The objective of this collaboration is to push the boundaries of multimedia with a futurist approach for BRON Digital, marking the beginning of a concerted effort to incorporate blockchain technology into Hollywood's creative processes.

Haydn Snape, the founder and CEO of DIG and a Web3 consultant for BRON Media Corp, will oversee all strategies related to NFTs and tokenomics. He indicated that the 'Gossamer' collection will consist of 10,000 NFTs and confirmed that a play-to-earn game based on the series is in the works.

'With blockchain technology, we can reimagine audience engagement with content,' detailed Snape. 'DIG has successfully guided numerous sectors through transformative change, and being able to apply this knowledge for a celebrated Hollywood studio is tremendously exciting. We’re integrating elements of decentralization—tokens, gamification, and metaverse-centered strategies—into the entertainment industry.'

Early supporters who linked their digital wallets to the 'Gossamer' landing page (gossamer.world) were rewarded with a dynamic NFT known as the 'Gossamer Seed,' which is designed to evolve visually over time within their wallets.

At the moment of the mint, fans were unaware of the full potential this free NFT would provide. However, within just two hours, all 10,000 'Gossamer Seed' NFTs were claimed on OpenSea, reaching a floor price of 0.15 ETH with a trading volume exceeding $100,000, thus establishing the Gossamer NFT collection as a highly sought-after item.

The full utility of the 'Gossamer Seed' NFT will unfold as the 'Gossamer' world expands. Fans will need to stay updated with announcements through the 'Gossamer' Twitter account ( @gossamer_world ) to complete various challenges that will unlock the complete benefits of their 'Gossamer Seed.'
