Change is inevitable. Blockchain technology is a decentralized system with the potential to transform the way we connect with one another, how we exchange value, and the distribution of power. DISRUPT will examine what that could mean for society, and explore the human emotions around change.

Story
Mission Statement
Disrupt is directed and produced by a woman. Much of the narrative will be carried by female, minority, and under privileged perspectives. Part of the storyline includes how fresh skills such as creative thinking, collaboration, and inclusion will have a larger impact on this emerging industry.About The Project
We’re in an era of unprecedented change. Technology is advancing exponentially which has an enormous affect on individuals and society at large- for the better, and worse.
Journey with us as we learn about the potential benefits and concerns about an emerging technology: blockchain. By learning how blockchains are decentralized systems that can be used to alter society as we know it, we will examine the varying ways humans approach change. In this film, we will explore how some people resist technological advances, and why some believe it will be a tool to lead us into a new consciousness. Through interviews with representatives of the old world and the new world, we will study disruption in a small town, in a company, in a nation, in a family, on a farm. We’ll start by looking at two drastically different locations:
East Wenatchee, WA. Apple Capital, and arguably, Bitcoin Mining capital of the world. What are the locals thinking about, talking about? How does this new technology relate to them?Don’t mess with my power rates. Don’t mess with my views. Don’t mess with my neighborhood. I don’t want my way of living to change.
Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. Crypto and Blockchain startup hub of the world. What are the business leaders thinking about, talking about, how is this new technology relevant?
Our old economic structure is failing us. Our centralized culture is dividing us. Time for a radical change. This tool brings a sea of possibilities to help new consciousness to emerge.
Along the way we meet a variety of thought leaders; an economist, a skeptic, a rural farm worker, a municipal commissioner, a psychologist, a tech crusader, a futurist.
We will examine the good, the bad and the hopeful of the technological era we are entering and learn about innovations beyond our wildest imagination.
We will ask questions about how blockchain technology might disrupt industries like journalism, agriculture, medicine, voting, social good. This is NOT a “techy” promotional film. This is a story about people, and how they approach change.
We will showcase some of these ideas in a cinematic, simple, beautiful and inspiring way.
DISRUPT will present a variety of opinions and perspectives, aimed to engage and inspire, leaving the audience with a feeling of hope and the spark to discover more.
INFORM SIMPLY ~ INSPIRE HUMBLY ~ SPARK SELF DISCOVERY
THE STYLE
Voortex will bring awareness to the technology of the future in the most accessible way possible: through our own human emotion.
Disrupt will be different. We promise not to bore you with graphs and technological animations. Think how What the Bleep Do We Know tackles the complex topic of Quantum Physics but presents it in a tangible, entertaining way, where you don’t have to be a mathematician to appreciate.
Disrupt will have mass appeal. Think of how The Secret takes an intangible concept like the Law of Attraction, and brings it to the mainstream.
There will be some talking heads, but they will be fascinating talkers, with scripted scenes by professional actors to depict complex future ideas in a simple, engaging way.
Targeted for broad, commercial appeal, the audience will be visually and emotionally entertained while they discover our future world. With the Voortex style that captures human emotion through gorgeous, professional cinematography, we will capitalize on the blues and golds of the natural world.DISTRIBUTION
In partnership with blockchain pioneer Dave Carlson, we are reinventing how films are marketed, shared, and contributed to across the world.BLOCKCHAIN APPROACH
By utilizing a decentralized peer-2-peer sharing solution, one distribution channel will look like a form of mining. We will use a crypto reward system as an incentive mechanism to reward every peer who aids in the sharing. In doing this, you will become part of our distribution network/ecosystem, while collecting tokens that you can redeem for cool stuff.YOUR SUPPORT
