Management Commentary
Dorian Banks, Chief Executive Officer of LGL said, “In 2022, I believe that we will start to see NFTs being introduced to several aspects of our everyday lives, with the entertainment being no exception. While the intersection between the moving image and NFTs is not necessarily new, it was virtually unknown outside of the cryptocurrency and blockchain space until recently. As well-known Hollywood figures continue to join the cast and crew of the GenZeroes Series, the NFT-driven approach to producing and distributing original media is receiving unprecedented validation in many different ways. We are pleased to be at the forefront of the first NFT-based live-action series and it is wonderful that prominent industry publications such as Deadline are continuing to cover LGL’s latest developments.”
