Roadstead and NFTs: A New way to watch movies?
Instead of users trading digital art, they can buy and rent limited copies of films through Roadstead, which works similar to a digital video store.
Currently, the only Roadstead NFT film is Chime, which is available for rental by creating an account and clicking on the film’s rental page.
The rental process is simple: select a movie, opt for a day’s rental for $4.50 or a week’s rental for $10, and pay in yen.
Exploring the film Chime
In Chime, audiences follow Matsuoka, a former chef who reluctantly becomes a cooking instructor. When one of his students begins exhibiting violent behavior triggered by a mysterious sound, chaos erupts and quickly spreads.
Known for his talent for creating tension, Kiyoshi Kurosawa infuses even ordinary scenes with suspense. The film’s brilliance shines through in its sound design: although the titular “chime” remains inaudible, its eerie presence is felt through recurring musical cues, heightening each noise.
As viewers delve into the disturbing world of Chime, they will not only encounter Kurosawa’s signature brand of horror, but also explore the new concept of NFT movie rentals, marking a significant evolution in film distribution.
