Proposal description
$30M Feature Film | Every Cast Member, Crew Member, every Extra, every Vendor Paid in DASH
The DASH Treasury funds conferences, booths, social media, speaking engagements, and business development — all designed to answer one question:
This proposal is the result of those marketing efforts.
Gamble Entertainment Group (GEG) is a working independent film production company with a commitment to using DASH’s financial rails for production financing of, "The Package, The Prophet 'n The Pumpkin" (PPP);
A $30M dark pulp-noir action thriller, filming in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil and Paris, France under a trilateral US–France–Brazil co-production structure.
As a condition of employment, every single line item on the $30M production budget is paid in DASH.
No exceptions.
Cast. Crew. Extras. Every vendor. Every attorney. Every caterer. Every location owner. Every person or independent contractor employed by the production across three countries.
First dollar in: DASH. First dollar out: DASH.
The Numbers:
What the Treasury Is Being Asked to Fund:
Not the film. -- The treasury is not financing a movie.
It is financing the documentation that proves that using the DASH financial rails infrastructure model for film production works — to the world, on camera, permanently — the public proof of concept that turns one production into an industry movement.
GEG funds the $30M independently: Via structural partnerships, private equity, foreign pre-sales, and our intl. co-production partnerships’ cultural film incentives.
The treasury ask of ~8,816 DASH over 10 cycles (~882 DASH/month = 12% of superblock) funds exclusively DASH ecosystem deliverables:
The Deliverables:
The Contrast With Conference-Based Marketing:
DASH teams do excellent work at conferences — and the results speak for themselves. Tech stack integration with new partners. Organic social exposure. That work matters.
But consider what GEG’s employment hires for PPP directly delivers that no conference can:
A booth reaches hundreds of people who are already in the crypto world. PPP reaches 1,000+ people who have never heard of DASH — and requires them to download the wallet as the condition of their employment.
Brazilian locals working as crowd scene extras. A Parisian prop master. A Salvador catering company. These are not conference attendees.
These are working people, across 3 continents, whose first experience with digital cash is their morning paycheck.
That is not a marketing campaign. That is adoption at institutional scale. Documented on camera. On-chain. Permanent.
The Window:
Cannes Marché du Film opens May 12, 2026.
The DASH & GEG partnership announcement must precede GEG's arrival. The April 21 superblock is the only funding cycle that makes Cannes possible.
The timeline (first 3 month Milestones) — how this unfolds:
Every one of GEG's 10 monthly tranches is gated to a verified deliverable update published to Dash Watch and the DASH Forum before the next tranche is submitted.
No delivery, no next payment.
The ask — in plain numbers:
~8,816 DASH total across 10 monthly cycles at ~882 DASH/month — 12% of the monthly superblock.
Coexists with every currently funded project on the leaderboard. Does not defund maintenance. Adds adoption infrastructure that no maintenance budget can replicate.
This is an investment in the proof that DASH financial rails work for optimizing film productions — documented, filmed, delivered, and permanently on-chain.
THE BOTTOM LINE
Every other marketing proposal in this treasury asks DASH to go find institutional adoption.
That institutional adoption is here.
I will respond to every substantive comment in this thread.
PPP is the spark plug.
DASH is the engine.
The revolution is inevitable.
~8,816 DASH. 10 cycles. 102.8x leverage. $30M on-chain. The revolution starts April 21.

The DASH Treasury funds conferences, booths, social media, speaking engagements, and business development — all designed to answer one question:
- How do we get real-world institutional clients using DASH as real money?
This proposal is the result of those marketing efforts.
Gamble Entertainment Group (GEG) is a working independent film production company with a commitment to using DASH’s financial rails for production financing of, "The Package, The Prophet 'n The Pumpkin" (PPP);
A $30M dark pulp-noir action thriller, filming in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil and Paris, France under a trilateral US–France–Brazil co-production structure.
As a condition of employment, every single line item on the $30M production budget is paid in DASH.
No exceptions.
Cast. Crew. Extras. Every vendor. Every attorney. Every caterer. Every location owner. Every person or independent contractor employed by the production across three countries.
First dollar in: DASH. First dollar out: DASH.
The Numbers:
- 1,000+ unique DASH wallet activations across cast, crew, extras, and vendors in 3 countries
- $7.5M in open-market DASH buy pressure from Brazil and France co-production incentive conversions
- 102.8x leverage — every 1 DASH from treasury = 102.8 DASH in total on-chain production exposure. The highest leverage ratio in DASH treasury history.
- $900K–$1.5M in banking fees eliminated — redirected to the screen
- A 10 month pre-production through post-production schedule of daily documented on-chain DASH payroll permanently recorded on the blockchain
What the Treasury Is Being Asked to Fund:
Not the film. -- The treasury is not financing a movie.
It is financing the documentation that proves that using the DASH financial rails infrastructure model for film production works — to the world, on camera, permanently — the public proof of concept that turns one production into an industry movement.
GEG funds the $30M independently: Via structural partnerships, private equity, foreign pre-sales, and our intl. co-production partnerships’ cultural film incentives.
The treasury ask of ~8,816 DASH over 10 cycles (~882 DASH/month = 12% of superblock) funds exclusively DASH ecosystem deliverables:
The Deliverables:
- Coordinated Deadline, Screen Intl., and Variety trade press announcement — DASH positioned as the film industry's new financial rail. Global filmmaker community awareness of adopting new cost saving & crew morale boosting daily payment infrastructure.
- Cannes Marché du Film mission (May 12–20, 2026) — co-production agreements signed after Cannes unlocks the $7.5M incentive conversion cascade. This is the ignition point for the full $30M DASH buy pressure event.
- 5-episode "Paid in DASH" docuseries — A-list Cast receiving DASH on camera, unscripted. Daily testimonials from local crew hires and extras re: their experience w/ DASH. Full perpetual rights to DASH Core Group. No advertising budget could ever come close to replicating this.
- Industry white paper — "The First Crypto Film Production" — licensed to the DASH ecosystem
- DASH Hosted virtual set days — live from Salvador, open to the entire DASH community
- Raffle drawing for DASH community to WIN invitation to set travel arrangements
- 10 months of sustained buy pressure throughout the course of each stage of production
- 2027 Press opportunities and DASH awareness leading up to - and throughout - the marketing (red carpet premiere) and distribution/release of the film.
The Contrast With Conference-Based Marketing:
DASH teams do excellent work at conferences — and the results speak for themselves. Tech stack integration with new partners. Organic social exposure. That work matters.

The Window:

The DASH & GEG partnership announcement must precede GEG's arrival. The April 21 superblock is the only funding cycle that makes Cannes possible.
The timeline (first 3 month Milestones) — how this unfolds:
- A Trade press announcement in Deadline, Screen Intl., and/or Variety positions DASH as the film industry's new financial rail — sent to the worldwide filmmaking community before Cannes opens
- May 12, 2026 — Cannes Marché du Film — GEG arrives with all potential co-production partners preemptively aware of the partnership requirements to convert funds on-chain.
- Those international co-production partners (Brazil and France) willing to contractually adopt DASH financial rails are identified and vetted.
- Signed contracts trigger the beginning of the $7.5M Brazil and France incentive conversion tranches flowing into DASH on open markets — sustained, documented, organic buy pressure over 10+ months
Every one of GEG's 10 monthly tranches is gated to a verified deliverable update published to Dash Watch and the DASH Forum before the next tranche is submitted.

Discussion: Should we fund this proposal?

No comments so far?
Be the first to start the discussion! |
Vote for my proposal which will lock up another ~580,000 dash in masternode collateral, greatly reducing monthly selling pressure, make dash a better investment and store of value, all of which will improve price, rank, and global adoption.
Most crew and extras will likely convert their DASH to fiat right away - how does that affect the buy pressure numbers?
What happens if the $30M external financing doesn't come through?
Also - where can I see GEG's previous work?
And broader context: the treasury is tight right now, and there are people already building on Dash who need consistent support. How does this fit into that picture?
1. All crew & extras will be given the Zebec Card which spends their DASH as their local fiat (Euro & Brazilian Real) + when onboarded, they will ALL be advised to the advantages of holding in DASH and utilizing DASH for all things moving forward. We will have a specific DASH team that provides onboarding guidance. 1 Person for our executive C suite partners, 2 people for our CAST & Department heads, 2 people for our entire below-the-line Crew(s), 2 people for our army of EXTRAS, and 2 people to service our host of Vendors.
2. The very first milestone will be our WORLDWIDE DASHxGEG Partnership announcement PRESS RELEASE in the TRADES signifying the 1st film production utilizing CRYPTO FINANCIAL RAILS, paying crew DAILY using DASH. Which will create massive institutional awareness all throughout Cannes. This immediately re-enforces this DASH conversion requirement for vetting all intl. production partners (Fr & Br). that will trigger their $7.5M conversion. If I'm unsuccessful raising the full $30M then the budget is adjusted to what I can successfully raise. With potential cast interested, we have a very strong foreign presales position, so - there's that. But, worst case scenario, if I fail on all fronts, and only the first milestone is met - then DASH Tranche financing stops. Each stage offers the necessary KEY INTEREST POINTS for verification. After Cannes, I lock the Intl. Co-Pro contracts. After contracts are locked, $7.5M conversion starts. After $7.5M conversion, solidify our Cast, then Start pre-sales to all foreign territories, and any interested institutional (Hollywood) partners, from there, my private equity can easily handle the rest.
3. My lastest film is currently selling (international territories) in Cannes. The film is available on all streaming platforms here in the US & Canada, on April 14th.

And honestly, I don’t understand why you can’t start raising funds for the film first, and then ask for such a large amount of DASH
It spends pages upon pages talking about your PPP movie - shooting locations, actors, financing etc., but then you say "GEG is NOT asking the DASH Treasury to finance the $30M production" At the same time, you write about "the chicken-and-egg problem of film finance" and how "When the DASH treasury’s first tranche arrives in GEG’s production wallet" (pg 32), it will solve that problem. So, which one is it? Are we helping you finance your movie or are we not?
Ah, it's about using Dash as payment rails. According to your own calculation, this will save you $900K–$1.5M (pg 4). Shouldn't that be enough incentive to just do it? Why do you need another six-digit bribe from the Dash DAO on top of that?
Is this whole proposal basically about a press announcement, a 5-part docuseries and a white paper?
I'm also wondering about the many other people you include in your proposal:
Zebec
"GEG is approaching Zebec for a co-financing commitment of approximately $1.5M" (pg 12)
Who have you talked with? What was the result? Can they confirm?
DIF
"Terms negotiated directly with DIF supervisors before the masternode vote." (pg 28)
You are expecting a $300k direct investment from the DIF there. I thought we're not investing in your movie? Who have you talked with? What are the terms? Can they confirm?
DCG
"Full perpetual rights to DASH Core Group for all platforms" (pg 25) and "DASH Core Group reviews blockchain data accuracy" (pg 27)
Who have you talked with? Will they be available? Can they confirm?
Joel Valenzuela
"GEG will reach out directly to Joel before any formal submission of this proposal to confirm his level of interest and availability." (pg 26)
Have you done that? What did he say? Can he confirm?
Dash team
"We will have a specific DASH team that provides onboarding guidance." (comment above)
You mentioned 9 specific positions there. Who is this team? Have they agreed? Can they confirm?
Thx for taking the time to look through the full proposal.
RESPONSES TO YOUR:
2nd Paragraph: Yes. The most difficult challenge for me will be the OBVIOUS - convincing these Intl. PRODUCERS to ABANDON the legacy banking rails and commit to using DASH's FINANCIAL RAILS -- to do this... The mantra of "Don't trust - Verify" - is essential here. I won't ask them to TRUST ME, they can simply VERIFY my DASH Partnership. On-chain - Proof that DASH is documenting the proof of work that DASH's financial rails can/will replace the banking system - for all films - everywhere. To get the ANNOUNCEMENT in the TRADES, (these Editors) will also need to VERIFY my claims, that DASH supports the GEG Partnership to evangelize the film community with proof of PPP.
3rd Paragraph:
Yes. I would use it anyway - IF, and ONLY IF, I COULD easily GET OTHERS to agree to abandon the banks. Imagine the exponential difficulty that would require without some form of proof - some validation from the very crypto rails I'm proposing to utilize. Crypto has a risky & sketchy reputation - to non-crypto holders. I have to overcome this barrier/ignorance. The best way to do this is to verify a legitimate partnership with the DAO.
Yes. This whole proposal basically about a press announcement, a 5-part docuseries and a white paper, saving up to $1.5M in banking fees, and activation of 1,000+ wallets - to prove that the film industry should abandon the banking system all together.
(Eg. When the DIGITAL revolution began, everyone said, the film industry (filmmakers) would never abandon using actual FILM - When filmmakers realized the infinite amount of 'takes' they could try, without the insane LAB PROCESSING FEES... Well, the film industry abandoned KODAK & FUJI film altogether. It's a rare thing when a filmmker uses actual film today. If given the opportunity, I will prove that DASH will do to the banks - what Digital Cameras did to KODAK & FUJI film labs. Like everyone else, the old-timers/doubters first need to see the proof that it can be done - before they make the switch).
RE: ZEBEC:
I will — but Zebec is the offramp, not the onramp. The sequence matters. First I need to identify and secure my on-chain asset partner — the blockchain network whose rails the entire production will run on. That decision is what I'm here to make with the DASH community. Once that partnership is established and announced, I approach Zebec — or any of the other available payroll infrastructure providers — as the conversion and distribution layer. Zebec, Rise, Bitwage, Toku — these are all viable offramp options. What they all have in common is that they work best when the upstream asset partnership is already locked and publicly credible.
And it stands to reason that whichever payroll infrastructure provider we partner with should recognize the long-term growth potential here. This isn't one production. GEG has a nine-film slate beyond PPP. Every filmmaker who watches this model work — morale boosting daily crew payments, no wire fees, instant settlement across three countries, no local currency conversions — has a reason to migrate on-chain. The production company that proves it first becomes the case study every other production points to. The payroll provider that powers it first becomes the default infrastructure for an entire industry shift.
But none of that happens without securing the on-chain asset partner first.
That's what I'm asking DASH to be.
RE: DIF
Sven commented and suggested, I'm too late to approach the DIF, so perhaps in the future. Thus, this funding will specifically be for the "deliverables" above. With the KPI's for each milestone monitored.
RE: DCG:
I would hope that they would comment here and let me know. A few DCG members have provided their questions in the forum, so... Hopefully, they'll articulate their interests in doing so.
RE: JOEL VALENZUELA
I have not, yet, had any confirmation from Joel. I did reach out to him again (YESTERDAY) via/commenting on his latest 'X' re-posting of Zebec.
"Joel Valenzuela @TheDesertLynx Apr 6
Checking off every box possible until the decentralized, private, digital cash economy is real for the whole world.
We're getting close!"
RE: DASH TEAM:
These would be PRODUCTION HIRES (direct from the DASH community) recommended by the DASH community. People who would be most competent in onboarding people who've never even heard of DASH, or how to utilize a crypto wallet. (Ideally, they would be based in France and Brazil - to save travel costs)
Any additional questions: Please don't hesitate.
The goal for me is not just to make a film - it's to have proven financial rails that provide transparency to my investors & pays my crew daily, so that I can make my entire library of scripts without ever dealing with a bank again.
You talk about all kinds of partnerships and agreements, but not only don't you have any of them in the bag, you haven't even talked to the people involved. How can we trust that you deliver on a proposal, when you can't even do your homework before you post one?
No, commenting on someones X repost, stumbling into someone on a forum thread or asking people in your proposal to contact you first is not "reaching out". You need to actively get to their inbox. DM people on chat apps, email them, you even mentioned LinkedIn yourself - looks like you haven't done any of that. If they want to work with you, even if it's just a preliminary commitment, an LOI or so, bingo, you can talk about a partnership! If they don't or you haven't heard back, then don't put it in your proposal! No, you cannot hold off talking to a key part of your proposal (Zebec) until after the proposal has passed. Yes, sequence matters. You need to have your ducks in a row BEFORE you post it.
In section 11 "The GEG x DASH Business Development Mission" you describe your "translator, cultural consigliere" and tell us about what co-producers you hope to win over. So you don't have any co-producers yet and nobody here has ever heard of this Linda person nor does she seem to have any experience with Dash that would qualify her to go on a paid "DASH Business Development Mission". Looks like you just want Dash to finance your trip to Cannes to the tune of $23k, but the thing is - the DAO pays without conditions, irrevocable and irretrievable. Nothing can be recouped if you suddenly forget who paid for your nice trip - and then some. So, a proposal of this size, especially coming from a complete unknown in the Dash universe, NEEDS reassurances. Escrow, a legal agreement, contingency plans, buy-in from known people - stuff like that.
Otherwise this just brings back very painful memories of the Ben Swann show or the Dash Documentary, both of which cost us a ton of money and delivered nothing.
The other thing is, even if I believe you're all sincere and won't stiff us like these other guys, I still think your expectations about the "SHOCKWAVE" (in caps) that your press announcement will cause are unrealistic. There are how many? 60 or so? movies screened at Cannes. The world's eyes will be on them, but your work is not among them. Your to date biggest work is the Mischief film, but it's not actually part of Cannes. I searched for it and the first results were trailers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yINIpMfSxMA and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nd-U394uLo They both had 29 views - not 29 million, not 29 thousand, no - twentynine. Maybe I'm looking at the wrong trailers, but if that's an indication for the popularity of your movies, you're vastly overestimating the attention anyone will pay to your press announcement. Maybe if you had an editorial article lined up in any of the major trade mags you kept name dropping, but it doesn't look like you have that either.
You say you have more movies in the pipeline. Maybe you can try again in the future with better preparation. As it is, sadly, I went from "Hey, look!" to "Hell, no!"
Massive Leverage: The proposal claims a 102.8x leverage ratio. Funding ~8,816 DASH to potentially trigger $30M in on-chain activity is an efficiency rarely seen in treasury requests.
Institutional "Stress Test": Paying 1,000+ people (crew, extras, vendors) in DASH across three countries is a powerful real-world proof of concept. It moves DASH from "speculative asset" to "functional payroll infrastructure."
Visibility: Secured placements in major trade publications like Variety or The Hollywood Reporter could rebrand DASH as a sophisticated financial tool for the film industry, a sector that notoriously struggles with international banking delays.
Adoption: A real-world, documentable, adoption event of this scale and magnitude has never been proposed in the treasury's history.
As I mentioned, my indie sci-fi film MISCHIEF upon MISCHIEF (MUM) releases tomorrow, APRIL 14th.
(see latest Forum Post for hyper-links)
So, I'm now touring a geofenced press junket; Promoting my film (with available CAST members).
Starting in: Houston, Dallas, Oakland, Washington DC, Miami, Denver, New York, San Diego, and finally here in LA.
Why does this matter to the DASH COMMUNITY?
NATIONWIDE EXPOSURE
Inevitably, I will be asked... "So, what's next...?"
The DASH Community already knows that PPP is next.
To which I would love to excitedly share & announce my upcoming partnership with DASH, and more importantly, WHY I'm making my next film utilizing DASH's financial rails (i.e., from saving banking fees, to paying my crew daily, etc.)
The MUM press junket tour is just the beginning of the awareness that I would love to bring - and this would simply set the stage for the worldwide international awareness that comes from the CANNES PRESS ANNOUNCEMENTS.
LATER THIS EVENING -- Posting here on the INSTAGRAM LIVE link with ROBG The General (26K FOLLOWERS) the DJ radio host for MAJIC 102.1 KMJQ in Houston, Texas. For those who wanna join in - comment and watch, please feel free to do so.
I'll hint at what those in this thread already know, however -
Prior to having a formal partnership, I will have to be discreet, but... if you JOIN the LIVESTREAM, please know that I'll be referencing the Proposal and the need to VOTE "YES" if I am going to be promoting DASH and the details of how I will be making my next film.
I'm here, actively trying to earn your support at the polls.
