Renowned futurist and two-time Emmy Award winner Marcie Jastrow will host a first-of-its-kind panel at this year’s Venice International Film Festival, featuring a conversation about the role of blockchain and immersive technologies in the evolving attention economy.
The panel will explore how technology can bring people together, create economic opportunity, and drive innovation. Participants will learn how new technologies and tools, including AI, blockchain, real-time, social, and immersive formats, can provide IP owners and creators with alternative platforms for community building, funding, distribution, and revenue. Jastrow will also explore how memecoins and their inherent branding drive wealth redistribution, democratization of money, and financial empowerment. She will discuss her revolutionary plan to legitimize memecoins and establish true brand ownership and distribution through IP, restoring credibility and economic opportunity around these thriving communities. A full description of the panel can be found here here.
Jastrow brings decades of experience at the intersection of technology and entertainment. She most recently joined Fohm, where she devoted her expertise to advising on new memecoins like Girls Club, a female-centric offshoot of Matt Furie’s “Boy’s Club,” a comic book series that has produced some of the internet’s most popular memes and generated billions of dollars in value for meme tokens inspired by the series. Jastrow’s mission to build communities is driven by her dedication to empowering women in entrepreneurship and technology. Her ultimate goal is to harness the transformative power of these communities to advance the industry, addressing critical challenges like legitimacy, security, and equitable access.
“This opportunity is the culmination of years of developing innovative technologies that are moving the industry forward,” said Jastrow. “We are now at a pivotal moment in the attention economy, where communities are looking for legitimate initiatives to create real change. I am honored to share my insights on how seizing this moment can unlock unprecedented value and economic opportunity.”
Known for her ability to bring teams and workflows together to make projects of any size succeed, Jastrow has been one of technology’s great connectors over the past few decades, even as that technology has changed dramatically, partnering with leaders like Netflix, Amazon, Disney, Fox, Paramount Pictures, and Technicolor. Today, she’s building new connections between the more traditional content tech world and memecoins, serving as an advisor to Girls Club and other meme tokens like BRAINLET, K9 Finance DAO (KNINE), LTD, Neiro and Ginnan.
