The growing Gala Film community is absolutely loving the action-horror anime series “Ghosts of Ruin,” available to watch now absolutely free on the web3 film platform that’s changing the way we experience video content.
This show is visually stunning and packed with action, drawing you deep into a future world of neural reality gaming where things aren’t as they seem.
Something terrifying and sinister is lurking within the massive game of Ruin. Its corporate creators will stop at nothing to launch with success, ensuring the world that everything is safe as they prepare for the Tournament of Ruin, an event that brings one hundred of the world’s most famous gamers together in heavily publicized competition.
For Aiden, a former member of Team Risen, something went terribly wrong. Somehow, the game got a little too real, leaving the young man hospitalized and fighting for his life. But this is what the Ruin founders don’t want you to know. Sweeping Aiden’s situation neatly under the rug, they held a contest to bring in a new player in the 11th hour. This is where Lee comes in. He’s learning fast, but Prism worries that he can never fill Aiden’s shoes.
It’s almost time for the Tournament of Ruin to begin, and Team Risen will sink or swim with the help of a classic gamer who’s only just begun to learn the ropes of neural reality.

In the short time since the platform’s launch, Gala Film has already released some incredibly exciting content that addresses some of the most relevant topics in the Web3 world.
David Bianchi’s gritty sci-fi series, RZR, explored the possibilities and pitfalls of neurally implanted computers in a dystopian world of surveillance and black market tech intrigue. RZR actress Mena Suvari even received a Primetime EMMY® nomination for her performance, marking a first for web3 entertainment.
Following such an amazing platform debut series, we know you’re hungry for more cutting edge video content that gives you more. Now we have entered the “Ghosts of Ruin” era.

Is this where we’re headed?
Can they show Lee the ropes in time to win?
What are the creators of “Ruin” trying to hide?

We are thrilled to announce the completion and results of Gala Film’s first two Theater Node governance votes. Marking a significant milestone in our journey towards a more decentralized and community-driven platform, our community of Theater Node operators has spoken, and their decisions will play a crucial role in shaping the future of $FILM tokenomics.
The Votes
The two governance votes focused on key aspects of $FILM tokenomics:
Maximum Boost for Film Projects
Distribution Method for $FILM Tokens
Voter Participation
We extend our heartfelt thanks to all Theater Node owners who participated in these votes. A total of 249 Theater Node operators cast their votes, with a total of 508 participating Theater Nodes. This strong turnout underscores the dedication and engagement of our community, and we hope to further increase the involvement and engagement of our valued Theater Node operators in the future.
Results
Vote 1: Distribution Method
With 58% of the votes, the community has decided to keep the current distribution method based on the prior day’s activities. This means that the daily minting of $FILM tokens will continue to be determined by the previous day’s ecosystem activity.
Vote 2: Film Boost Reward
With 43% of the votes (winning share), the community has chosen to set the Film Boost at 3X. This decision means that once a film reaches the Boost cap, each view will count as three views when calculating daily $FILM distribution.
Next Steps
These decisions will be incorporated into the Gala Film Litepaper and applied to the platform. We believe that these choices will foster a more dynamic and rewarding ecosystem for all participants.
We are immensely grateful for your continued support and participation in shaping the future of Gala Film. Together, we are building a more empowering film industry.
Stay tuned for more opportunities to have your voice heard in upcoming governance votes. Your participation is crucial in our journey to revolutionize the world of film through the power of blockchain technology.

Paths to Rewards
Today we’re happy to announce that following a successful platform launch, platform distribution rewards are officially live.
If you’re participating on any level in the Gala Film ecosystem, you’re likely to start seeing POPCORN! rewards in your account. When the $FILM token launches within the coming months with its initial Token Generation Event, you’ll gain the ability to convert all your POPCORN! to $FILM, and from then on you’ll start receiving $FILM directly for all the actions described below.
Check the Gala Film Litepaper for additional information about Gala Film rewards, including allocations, long term plans and reward boost opportunities for owning various early adopter NFTs!
You can now get rewarded for…
Supporting the Ecosystem
In the decentralized world of entertainment, anyone’s success is everyone’s success, so rewarding platform support is paramount to Gala Film. Whether you’re bringing new audience members by sharing your favorite episodes with friends and family, watching the latest episodes of your favorite series, or unlocking exclusive content through Mystery Boxes, you deserve to be rewarded for your time and attention.
According to the Gala Film Litepaper, a portion of $FILM is allocated to a pool called “Ecosystem Supporting Behaviors.” With launch, this pool will consist of 12.5% of total $FILM, but each year as the platform grows toward total decentralization, this pool will increase by ~1%.
This reward pool observes a point system to allow certain actions to qualify the user for a greater share in the pool. The list below includes the initial qualifying actions that will result in $FILM rewards from this pool.
Owning Moments
When you hold Moment NFTs from a Gala Film production, expect regular rewards that are dependent on the number of platform views for your content. When you own a RZR NFT Moment (no matter the episode), you’ll be qualified for rewards whenever any episode from the RZR series is viewed!
Because Moments are pieces of curated Scenes, when you complete a Scene, you’ll get a reward boost for all the Moments within that scene.
If you manage to collect all completed Scenes from RZR, you’ll get the MAX Boost for all your Moments.
In the Gala Film Litepaper, the reward portion allocated to owners of Moment NFTs is called the “Content Incentivization Mechanism.” This portion of $FILM is divided among publishers/creators and viewers of Gala Film content.
With the initial platform launch, 17.5% of $FILM rewards are allocated to this reward pool, and each year as Gala Films grows toward total decentralization, that percentage will increase by ~2%.
Rewards for Filmmakers
Filmmaker $FILM rewards are also considered part of Content Incentivization, with a portion of this allocation used to reward the visionary creators and artists who make Gala Film productions a reality.
With the future Gala Film Pitches update, it will become possible for anyone in the community to submit film projects or ideas, calling the Gala Film community to gather in support with their $FILM and essentially crowdfunding the future of decentralized cinema!
Operating a Theater Node
The Gala Film DePIN is powered by the operators who contribute computing power in exchange for rewards. Video content is delivered in real time using a state-of-the-art DCDN (Decentralized Content Delivery Network) with Theater Nodes at its core.
As described in the Gala Film Litepaper with the initial platform launch, active operators of Gala Film’s Theater Nodes share in 17.5% of the total $FILM rewards allocated. As the platform continues to grow toward total decentralization, this percentage will increase by ~2% per year.
Additionally, 2.5% of $FILM is awarded to Gala Founder’s Node operators for their role in supporting the backbone of the entire Gala ecosystem.
If you are interested in Theater Node operation to enhance your potential rewards while supporting the growing Gala Film ecosystem, you can purchase a license here.
Join the Next Generation of Film
After many months of tireless work from across the various Gala teams to make this all possible, we’re extremely excited to finally see the fruits of our labor enjoyed by the community. Not only can we offer awesome exclusive film and series content absolutely free, but we can promise a rewarding and gamified experience that will take you deeper.
If you haven’t started watching RZR yet, check out the first two episodes now and we think you’ll be just as hooked on Grimm’s dark story as we are.
