trailer is looking interesting.
I'm glad media attention is growing to document the development of bitcoin and its community (also for historical purposes).
You're planning several episodes on bitcoin or just one documentary?

I think we'll cut into one full piece taking it all the way from inception to the current state of bitcoin. We'll cover satoshi, mining, speculation, cyptography, network effects, the Libertarian argument, prohibition such as gambling and drugs, VCs entering the market, the new entrepreneurs, and future applications. I think the variety of people interested in bitcoin is the most interesting part.

After this, we could do a 6-episode series. I was thinking about covering one start-up from bitcoin concept to funding to team formation to product development to marketing. It could bitcoin startup reality series. Or it could be theme-centric episodes....bitcoin in Berlin, bitcoin and the free state project, bitcoin and gambling, etc.

Additionally, we are planning on 6 10-minute full-length interviews edited by us for each of the main participants such as Gavin, Erik Voorhees, Jeremy Liew - a top VC, a couple of the entrepreneurs, Steve Kubby - a major marijuana legalization proponent. We already have the footage, so simple enough.

Beyond our initial commitment to The Bitcoin Phenomenon and releasing the individual interviews, I can't commit to the series though. We have other shows that will take up bandwidth including DEALMAKER, TERM SHEET, TRADING DESK, AMERICAN ICON, CASE STUDY, and STATECRAFT. Here's what we're thinking with these shows:
