Camila Russo, founder of The Defiant, is bringing Ethereum to Hollywood with the feature film adaptation of her fantastic book "The Infinite Machine."

This is the first project of its kind and is gaining speed, recently attaching Scott Free Productions (Ridley Scott's company) to produce. With these headwinds, The Infinite Machine movie is set to disrupt Hollywood in more ways than one.
