Film and longevity. Who’s building this?

Introducing Jellyfish DAO!

We’ve got an exciting interview lined up for you with Daniel, a member of the team. Let’s dive straight in 🌊

Ambrosia: #1 – What is JellyfishDAO? What’s your mission?

Daniel: Jellyfish DAO is where science, longevity, and storytelling collide. We're on a mission to challenge the world's perception of aging through the power of cinema and popular media. Our community is committed to creating positive film depictions to shed light on the ongoing fight against aging.

Ambrosia: #2 – What traction and progress have you had so far?

Daniel: We are in production on a documentary feature film called AgeLess and in late development/early prep on a narrative feature film called Last Generation to Die. We have built a strong team of filmmakers, longevity professionals, and blockchain experts and are building a web 3 studio for make movies on Longevity. We finance our operations through selling NFTs and NFT holders in turn get special access to the process. Revenues from the films go back into the DAO. A complete breakdown, including team members is on our website.

Ambrosia: #3 – Who’s on the team?

Daniel:

  • Filmmakers - Daniel Sollinger (Immortality or Bust), Aimee Schoof (Tesla), Isen Robbins (Marjorie Prime), Tim Maupin (Last Generation to Die - the short), Madalina Bellariu, Galia Barkol

  • Longevity - Laurence Ion (Vita DAO/Vitalia), Keith Comito (Lifespan.io)

  • Web 3 - Victor Forissier, Guy Bahat, Ewan Dawson

  • Finance - Adam Gries

  • Coms - Kirill Delikatnyi, Erin Magennis

Ambrosia: #4 – How do you fit into the longevity media landscape? What differentiates you?

Daniel: We are seasoned filmmakers who want to fight the dystopian portrayals in movies with a positive view of an abundant future.   

Ambrosia: #5 – Do you have any examples of content you have produced?  

Daniel: I have examples from individual members (Tesla, Marjorie Prime, Immortality or Bust, Clean). We have made over 100 movies between us, but the DAO is new and it is in production on its first project called AgeLess - A documentary on the scientific advancements in Longevity.

Ambrosia: #6 – We saw you were recently at the Vitalia popup longevity city - Did you meet many interesting people and teams working on longevity?  

Daniel: Many we knew. Many we met. A lot of activity has grown out of our presentation at Vitalia.

Ambrosia: #7 – What do you think of the intersection of Crypto / Decentralised Science (DeSci) and longevity?

Daniel: I think everything, everything, everything will be tokenized in the future and we love being on that first wave of it happening!

Ambrosia: #8 – Do you have any predictions about the longevity industry in coming years? What is most exciting to you at the moment (companies, research etc)?

Daniel: I think the first step is to take the best care we can of the body we have and the tools to do that are getting ever more advanced and accessible. We spent the morning with Peter Diamandis and he was telling us about his company, Fountain Life, which I think is the type of company we will see more of in the future catering to extending healthspan in a deliberate way. Of course, also exciting is the work of Aubrey De Grey, David Sinclair, George Church, Liz Parrish, and Bryan Johnson.

Ambrosia: #9 – What's coming up on your roadmap?

Daniel: We will be doing a Juicebox campaign in April and a token launch hopefully by the end of the year. Last Generation to Die will go into production and we will start lining up other projects that fit our mission.

Ambrosia: #10 – How can our readers learn more and keep up to date with your progress?
