The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures announced that artists Nikolai and Simon Haas will issue limited-edition NFTs to benefit the museum’s access, education and programming initiatives. The NFTs will be available via an OpenSea auction from Oct. 20-25.
The Nft design is inspired by the Academy Museum Pillar Award, which was also created by the Haas brothers. The annual award honors philanthropists who support the museum, and was given to Academy Museum chairs Bob Iger, Annette Bening and Tom Hanks at the museum’s Opening Gala on Sept. 25.
The NFTs are moving renderings of the Pillar Award combined with quotes from film industry leaders sourced from The Future of Cinema, which is the exit gallery in the museum’s three-floor core exhibition Stories of Cinema. Each quote is minted in five different colors. The first grouping to be issued, comprising of five Nfts, will feature a Whoopi Goldberg quote:...

Exclusive: Syfy’s Tzgz weekly late-night animation block has given a straight-to-series order to The Summoner, from Stoopid Buddy Stoodios and writer, actor and New Yorker cartoonist Charlie Hankin.
Greenlit for 10 three-minute episodes to premiere next year, The Summoner is a 2D-animated series based on the short film from Hankin about Rory and his challenging roommate.

This sounds potentially useful, but it isn’t—the Summoner has a tenuous grasp of English and only summons the most useless shit.
“The Summoner is a perfect example of how we’re experimenting with content for Tzgz by continuing to add smart stories from unique voices, but also playing...
