NFT-Funded Film, Backed by A-list Director Soderbergh, Seals Historic Global Sales Agreement – Crypto Adoption on the Rise?
Who says NFTs are dead? ‘Calladita / The Quiet Maid' - a movie funded by the sale of non-fungible tokens (NFTs), set to premiere at the Tallinn Film Festival - has secured a global sales deal.
