Beyond the Box Office: CriBX and the Future of Entertainment

Picture yourself in a futuristic wonderland, a realm that feels like a blend of a space station and a sky-high sanctuary. You gaze in awe at this extraordinary location, seemingly suspended in the heavens, far above the fluffy clouds that drift below.

Standing on the helipad beside the trusty helicopter that whisked you here, you take your first steps into this extraordinary place. Your eyes are drawn upward to a colossal “Welcome” sign above the entrance, extending a warm and inviting greeting.

As you venture inside, a delightful realization dawns upon you: this haven is a shrine to the magic of movies. Wherever your eyes wander, you’re met with captivating film posters and interactive screens, each one a beckoning invitation to lose yourself in the enchanting world of cinema. It’s a film lover’s paradise, and you’re about to embark on a thrilling journey through the captivating realms of motion pictures.

Could this be merely a figment of the imagination? Or does it exist as a tangible reality?

We boldly declare that this is not a mere fantasy, but a genuine manifestation brought to life within Somnium Space, a virtual reality platform endowed with the remarkable ability to forge genuine and enduring experiences.

Who created this place?

CriBX

CriBX is an innovative virtual entertainment ecosystem poised to redefine the very essence of how audiences engage with the realms of film, games, and music. As we delved into our research, preparing for this article for the Somnium Times, we underwent a revelation. It became apparent that right here an exceptional application of the Metaverse emerged right before us.

At the heart of CriBX’s mission lies the fundamental belief that a film transcends being a mere one or two-hour experience on a random evening at the cinema. Rather, films are complete universes, immersive realms where you can linger and explore long before the main narrative unfolds, and continue to dwell within even after its conclusion.

This concept has inspired a distinctive mission: to provide captivating experiences that will enthrall audiences on a global scale.

Imagine a world where you can step out of the movie theatre and into a virtual world based on that film IP, interact and become the characters, own them, use them and explore a more intimate creative narrative outside the boundaries of the finished film.

When you read through the whitepaper you realize how multi-faceted and ambitious the vision is. One example: CriBX, as part of their Film Crib streamer and virtual cinema platform, aims to build hundreds of virtual cinemas across the metaverse, virtual worlds full of narrative storytelling, across multiple platforms. Not for a select few, but for the entire world to enjoy and to immerse in.

Film Crib

The futuristic blend of a space station and a sky-high sanctuary in Somnium Space, which we started this article with, is one of Film Crib’s virtual cinemas. Film Crib is an emerging filmmakers streaming platform with over 150 award winning short films, including 12 Academy Award films, Top Tier Festival winners such as Cannes, Berlin, Sundance, SXSW.

Furthermore, as a platform, Film Crib contains exclusive interviews with established Academy Award, Golden Globe, BAFTA and Emmy award winning film practitioners who have worked in all departments of film production TV shows and a host of amazing films such as Aquaman, James Bond and From Dusk Til Dawn, to name a few.

Film Crib’s mission extends beyond delivering groundbreaking experiences to global audiences; it also serves as a nurturing ground for budding filmmakers, granting them a haven where their creations are duly recognized and rewarded.

This unwavering commitment to champion emerging talent is further underscored by their goal to invest in original Film Crib content, and to aid young, gifted filmmakers in monetizing their intellectual property.

Games, NFTs, and More

You might ponder, what lies beyond the confines of ticket sales at the box office? The straightforward response is this: an entire cosmos brimming with possibilities. However, to see these possibilities materialize, it demands not only vision but also unwavering dedication and an unrelenting focus.

Well-crafted and enthralling films serve as the quintessential catalysts, propelling us into a realm of deeper exploration and immersion, be it through interactive games, NFTs, live events, or any other avenue. This is precisely what audiences crave. They yearn to be dazzled, not content with mere one-way entertainment but seeking an all-encompassing experience.

Film Crib and other avenues by CriBX are aiming to deliver just that.

The Technology

At the heart of it all lies Web3, harnessed through blockchain technology (Polygon). This foundational layer establishes a transparent and secure framework, enabling CriBX to seamlessly introduce its array of offerings.

Another pivotal component in this ecosystem is the CRI3X Token, a fungible cryptographic asset residing on the blockchain. Its evolution will see it emerge as the primary utility token, serving as a means for incentivization, facilitating in-game acquisitions, granting access to ticketed events, and a plethora of other applications.

Oasis Meta Games

The immersive world, complete with its interactive interface and extensive catalog, has been created by Oasis Meta Games and harnesses the formidable power of the OMG Engine. The base structure itself, the sky-high sanctuary/film lovers paradise, has been meticulously designed by Creepy Cat, Unity/Unreal store publisher and senior environment artist.

Furthermore, the cinema operates on a multiplayer basis, enabling numerous individuals to simultaneously partake in the cinematic experience. When a movie is chosen, it commences for all virtual cinema attendees, and when paused or rewound, these actions are synchronized for everyone present. In the event of tardy arrivals, latecomers will miss the beginning but seamlessly join the ongoing viewing experience. For those desiring an individual cinematic journey, a solo viewing mode is readily accessible.

Crucially, the cinema’s extensive catalog is linked to the CriBX backend, drawing movie listings, associated information, and even webpages containing trailers directly from CriBX’s servers. This integration streamlines CriBX’s management of both their web2 and web3 movie catalog, consolidating it into a single, convenient hub.
