Description
We aim to develop a strong community of storytellers that will work together to create the navite web3 cinema format.
These films will not just be shot at DCL, but will be premiered at the STUDIOLAND…
We also want to add a podcast studio, bringing already established podcasts to record their shows in DCL , as well as new talents looking forward to sharing their stories.
Anyone with a good story to tell, will be welcomed at the STUDIOLAND.
In both cases the intention is to invite the audiences to participate in the recordings of the podcast and the premiers of the films, and through this expand the DCL community.
We are WOW LAND, a group of content creators that got together in 2002, that are web3 enthusiasts and want to create the first audiovisual hub inside DCL.
Regarding films and series, through DOC LAND ( www.doclandfilms.com ) we don’t only have the recognition of the industry as independent producers, but also of the audiences and festivals. From Grammys, to the Oscars to the first prize at the Montreal Film Festival.

We also create podcasts through POD LAND ( www.podland.com ). Two of our most successful shows are related to crypto/web3 and gaming.
