BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, November 15, 2024 — Flixxo, the independent content streaming platform, has announced BullRun, a documentary by award-winning filmmaker Ana Ramón Rubio and the first film fully funded through crypto tokens, is now available at a decentralized premiere, a milestone for the film industry.
Produced by Juanjo Moscardó Rius – Cosabona Films, BullRun chronicles the cryptocurrency boom in a humorous tone and will stream exclusively on Flixxo before a later release on Amazon Prime. The film debuts following its successful run at international festivals like DOC NYC and its double win at the 2023 Berlanga Awards.
Ana Ramón Rubio, who became a day trader during the pandemic, documents her personal story from filmmaker to crypto trader in this film that was entirely funded in under 24 hours through a tokenized model. Produced during the previous bull run, the movie serves as a window for understanding the present landscape.
Now, unlike conventional film and series releases, the upcoming release of BullRun on Flixxo is now setting a new trend for future filmmakers to follow.
Ticket 3.0 on Flixxo
Flixxo offers three methods for viewing the global premiere of BullRun:
- Ticket 3.0 NFTs: Ticket 3.0 holders can watch the film and also gain access to an exclusive community, additional content and rewards. These tickets come with an NFT of a unique frame from the movie.

- Free Access via Bit2Me: New users of Bit2Me can watch BullRun for free thanks to Flixxo’s partnership with the platform, showcasing how collaborative efforts in crypto can generate value for users.
This enables users to view the premiere in the Token Gating section of Flixxo, with tickets now available.
Built on top of Polygon blockchain, Flixxo’s digital Tickets 3.0 -available on Carnaval– are fully transferable and have several perks. These include:

There is a General 3.0 Ticket and another Gold Ticket, with even greater benefits, which the investors of the movie, and therefore, holders of $BULL will also enjoy.
This unique premiere model improves the user/viewer experience, providing more than passive consumption by involving the audience in the film, its ecosystem, and opening the door to a tangible stake in its success.
Adrián Garelik, CEO of Flixxo, commented: “The premiere of BullRun on Flixxo showcases how emerging technologies can coexist with traditional models and provide a unique experience for users. Through Ticket 3.0, we take a step further towards transforming the industry, allowing viewers to be more than consumers, truly becoming part of the project and its community.”
Ana Ramón Rubio said: “The decentralized premiere of BullRun marks a paradigm shift for independent cinema, where the power of blockchain allows filmmakers to connect directly with their audience. It is a truly democratic model, as it gives the viewer-investor the ability to decide which projects are produced and distributed, creating a closer and more participatory relationship between creators and the public.”
Web3 Adoption
The release of BullRun on Flixxo premieres more than just a distribution model. The debut on Flixxo functions as a bridge to Web3 adoption, integrating NFTs into the user experience and allowing fans to access exclusive content and even gift additional tickets to others.
The combination of blockchain technology and cinema represents the dawn of a new era in the filmmaking industry. The redefinition of content consumption enables films to serve as educational tools that introduce new audiences to cryptocurrencies and NFTs.
