Film.io is a decentralized filmmaking ecosystem, placing Hollywood decision-making into the hands of creators and fans. Film.io leverages blockchain technology and fan collaboration to provide filmmakers with an end-to-end solution for creating, funding and distributing their projects.

## What is $FAN?

The $FAN Token is a fundamental element of the Film.io platform, acting as a governance token. It allows holders to vote on various aspects of film projects on the platform, influencing decisions from development to distribution. By holding $FAN Tokens, users get a say in the filmmaking process, ensuring a community-driven approach to content creation. $FAN stakes mark your place on the allow list for NFT drops and crowdfunding campaigns for projects. Soon $FAN will be used to boost projects, to donate to creators, as in-app currency, and much more.

## Who owns Film.io?

Film.io is owned by the Global Creativity Foundation, an ownerless, charitable organization, that supports the democratization of the global filmmaking industry by:

* Empowering fans to greenlight the movies and TV they want to see, govern the Film.io ecosystem, and have an active voice in the new filmmaking industry.

* Providing creators with access to an inclusive, success-oriented environment where their work is supported by fans and validated through meaningful data.

Together with the Film.io DAO, the Global Creativity Foundation provides a structure that helps ensure that the Film.io project operates in a fair and inclusive way and is not subject to the same centralized powers that have controlled the filmmaking industry for the last 100+ years.
