Reflections from Cannes: What a Ride 🇫🇷🎬

We just wrapped an incredible week at the Marché du Film during the Cannes Film Festival, and honestly, it was one for the books.

Alana was accepted into the Producers Network, which meant she got to connect with top producers, distributors, and decision-makers from all over the world. It was a chance to talk about Dirty Coin in the rooms where big things actually happen. Every conversation opened a new door — from distribution models to potential partnerships to future film markets we should be part of.

We also hosted our own event right in the middle of the Marché. The vibe was electric. What we’re doing with this film is not business as usual, and people felt that.

Thanks to the generous support of our sponsors — Celestial Management, Sangha Renewables, Paystand, and Nordblock — this indie doc got a chance to step onto a global stage. Their support helped us elevate the energy conversation around Bitcoin into spaces where it’s often misunderstood. 

We’re starting to see the shift. People from completely different industries are beginning to understand why this story matters and we got to connect with many of them in France.

We also had a ton to learn from what successful independent producers are doing right now. There’s no single path, but the bold ones are building their own systems, creating their own distribution, and going straight to their audience. That’s what we’re doing with Dirty Coin, and now we’re doing it with even more clarity and support behind us.
