Viktoria Robotika official selection for music 2024 Financial Literacy Film Festival

Image
Viktoria Robotika  (featuring Dee Wolf) “ETHernal Gas Blues”  Currently residing in Spain  (previously lived in Los Angeles) Why did you want to create this project?  This song was written in response to the unreasonably high transaction (“gas” in crypto terms) fees on the Etherium (ETH) network. At the time of composition, the ETH gas fees cost several hundred dollars for simple transactions, which was often higher than the value of the cryptocurrencies that I wanted to invest in or sell. This limited my ability to make certain financial transactions, so channeling that frustration into a song was very cathartic. Why is it important for people to see this? “ETHernal Gas Blues” is a satirical song that recounts the errors that people may make when they first begin to invest in cryptocurrencies, and provides helpful guidance on how to avoid these mistakes. It promotes financial responsibility in a wholesome and humorous manner, without glorifying materialism.  In addition to the lessons

Official Selection 2024 - Dollars That Make Sense animation short film

Image
  Dollars That Make Sense  This animated film was Produced by Elizabeth Killough (Co-CEO of the UnTours Foundation) and Rich Hoffmann (Founder and Director of 215 Timelapse) outside of Philadelphia, PA, USA with a small team of origami artists, musicians, and animators. Over a trillion dollars sit in foundation endowments most often working against those foundations’ very missions. It’s an outlandish system that foundations use only 5% of their assets annually to address their missions, investing the other 95% with no regard to their missions losing a tremendous opportunity for more impact.  Where else in life is 5% considered  enough? By bringing the numbers to light through this fun film, we hope to gain the attention of  foundations and donors to change this paradigm. Foundations are praised for the good things they support. But people need to see the dark side of foundations and inspire foundations to activate the other 95% to fulfil their missions and help solve the crises our pla
