(New York, NY –February, 2022) – Noise, the arthouse feature film that takes the audience through one man’s psychedelic trip into his past, played at The Angelika Film Center (18 West Houston Street). The film is through the lens of director and editor Jean-Louis Droulers, who captured the footage over five years growing up in South Florida when he was 17, until he turned 21. Amongst his friends is a young Brandon Flynn, who later went on to star in the hit Netflix series, 13 Reasons Why.
The film, which is funded by bitcoin, will be providing change in bitcoin for all tickets purchased. This will allow New Yorkers to buy bitcoin with dollars over the counter in NYC for the first time.
Jean Louis has gone through many iterations over the last few years in post-production as an experiment that was never intended for release until it was discovered by Zack Weiner and Joe Gallagher, who helped carry it into completion and produced its release through the Bitcoin Movie Club. The film, which is funded by bitcoin, will also only accept bitcoin as payment for tickets.
The VIP guests included star of NOiSE Ella Jordan, Jesse Pimentel (‘Resident Evil’), Director/Producer Mark Rapaport, Former City Council Candidate and lawyer Maria Danzilo, The Honorable Dion Powell, award-winning director Chris Von Hoffman, Tik Tok star glamdemon2004, and The Bachelor contestant Sharleen Joynt
The film starts in the present day, told through a handheld music video of a day in the life, before rewinding to explore Jean Louis’ checkered past through a constantly revolving door of new characters as he delves deeper into a drug binge constantly interrupted by the monster that is NOISE, whom we finally meet after a near death experience in the final act of the film. The end of boyhood. The beginning of something new, a death that gives way to a rebirth.
Jean Louis takes us into a world we wouldn’t otherwise see if not for a young kid with a camera strapped to his face, creating a new language, capturing life without context, without any conception of what a film is, or what the industry demands of one.
After the film concluded, Zack Weiner took the floor to speak about the next steps for the Bitcoin Movie Club. “Bitcoin Movie Club will never do crypto, or whatever NFT, instead we constantly bring movies to Bitcoin’s economy for the simple reason that movie financing remains stagnant after a century plus of innovation in every other moviemaking aspect.”
Bitcoin Movie Club is the marriage of politics and entertainment. Bitcoin represents opportunity. Bitcoin represents a leveling of the playing field as far as access. This opportunity needs to pushed to the absolute maximum.
