Ken Loach is getting into the NFT game.
The twice Palme d’Or-winning director is partnering with viral photo site and streaming platform Platinum VIP Lounge to enter the NFT space with a line of blockchain collectibles that will explore elements of Loachian filmmaking.
Each token in the Official Cathy Come Home NFT 1000 will have a unique graphic of Loach and accompanying quote taken from one his films relating either to anti-imperialism, the plight of the working class, or left-wing politics.
“I’m absolutely thrilled to be teaming with my good friends at Platinum VIP Lounge on my first set of NFTs,” said Loach. “Ever since I bought my first Bored Ape NFT last year I’ve been looking to put my own name on a collection and I simply cannot wait for fellow NFT enthusiasts to get their hands on these super cool tokens.”
In a call with Benelux & Airlines, Platinum VIP Lounge founder Chaz Fortune said he was “absolutely pumped” to be launching an NFT collection with “his favourite movie director in the world,” describing it as a “real dream come true.”
“We have no doubt that this set — featuring inspirational, thought-provoking and politically-rousing lines from films such as I, Daniel Blake, Land and Freedom and The Wind that Shakes the Barley — will sell out in no time,” he added. “Vive la NFT revolution!”
