FFGI Announces FFG Token – A New Chapter in Blockchain-Based Film Finance

April 16, 2025 – Raleigh, United States

Film Finance Group International (FFGI), a North Carolina-based film finance innovator, has officially unveiled its upcoming ERC-20 utility token – FFG Token (FFG).

Built to power a transparent, milestone-based film funding ecosystem, FFG Token is an asset-backed token that bridges real-world production workflows with secure, blockchain-based infrastructure.

FFG Token is scheduled to go live in the coming weeks, with a capped supply of one billion tokens and integrated governance mechanics to allow token holders to vote on curated film projects.

Backed by real-world film budgets and anchored by a proprietary on-chain accounting system, the token represents a new approach to financing indie cinema – one that aims to replace vague promises with verifiable payouts and investor control.

G. David Keaton, co-founder and managing member of FFGI and a licensed CPA, said,

“We’ve designed FFG Token from the ground up to solve the trust and transparency issues that have long plagued independent film finance.

“Our platform doesn’t just tokenize investment – it offers visibility, accountability and participation. This is infrastructure, not hype.”

Backed by infrastructure, governed by community

Unlike speculative tokens with no underlying benchmarks, FFG Token is tied to real production milestones.

Funds are allocated in phases based on verified deliverables, promoting greater accountability and reducing risk for participants.

FFGI has also structured the ecosystem with robust legal compliance in mind, including KYC-gated quarterly reporting and IP ownership through tokenized NFTs.

A significant innovation is the formation of SPV number two, which houses a separately licensable blockchain accounting system developed in-house.

Michael Dallas, development manager at FFGI and a veteran systems architect, said,

“We’ve built what we believe is the most advanced blockchain-native accounting system for film finance.

“It’s real-time, rules-based and ready to be licensed to other studios or industries. The token and the technology work together – but they also stand strong independently.”

What makes the FFG Token different

• ERC-20 compliant on Ethereum
• Fixed one billion supply – No inflation
• Project-governance enabled
• Milestone-based film funding
• Legally structured infrastructure with IP-backed NFTs
• Optional licensable accounting software via SPV (special purpose vehicle)

Multiple layers of value

At the heart of the FFG ecosystem is a clear separation between token utility, IP ownership and licensing potential.

The token funds productions. NFT tokens represent IP ownership. And the accounting software – held by a separate SPV – opens new revenue streams.

Keaton added,

“Our model is modular, but deeply interconnected. It’s designed to support creators, protect contributors and expand the use of blockchain in real, investable ways.”

Launch timeline and community

The official token launch is slated for late Q2 2025.

Leading up to the public offering, FFGI will conduct community activations through its Telegram and Discord servers and begin releasing technical documentation and project previews.

Dallas added,

“We’re building not just a token – but a culture of accountability and empowerment. We want our early community to understand how this works under the hood.”

More information – including tokenomics, governance design and licensing options – will be revealed through upcoming AMAs, dev diaries and a full launch countdown.
