MISSION
Most of us have heard of Bitcoin. Few of us understand what makes it tick. Bitcoin is changing the world, however the ideas driving these changes aren’t the easiest to understand. The Bitcoin Executor will be a feature film that aims to tell a good story and provide viewers with a satisfying cinematic experience while seamlessly introducing them to the basic concepts surrounding Bitcoin.
STORY
The Bitcoin Executor won’t be a documentary, but rather a fiction film that weaves Bitcoin related material into a traditionally crafted narrative. The story follows a young economics professor named Ken who receives a request triggered by a dead man’s switch set up by Dr. Dean Sinautra, a colleague and friend who had mysteriously disappeared months earlier. Although philosophically opposed, Ken takes on the task of personally delivering a set of Bitcoin hardware wallets to Dean’s chosen heirs. In the process Ken attempts to find clues that could solve the mystery of Dean’s disappearance. The discoveries made along the way force him to question the things he thought he knew so well.
