The Life Saving Film Only Blockchain Could Deliver Donald Griswold

One documentary. A 4.9-star rating. A kidney community of millions waiting to see it. And nine major studios; Amazon, Apple, HBO Max, Hulu, Disney, Paramount+, Peacock, Showtime, and Stars that all said no. So Donald stopped asking for permission. In this episode, Lauren Weymouth sits down with filmmaker Donald Griswold to unpack how he's using Stuff.io, a blockchain platform backed by Mark Cuban and Snoop Dogg, to distribute Abundant directly to the kidney community, bypass the $50M Hollywood P&A machine, and prove that true digital ownership changes everything for independent artists. One in nine Americans is affected by kidney disease. This film could reach every one of them and no traditional streamer could make that happen. Because on a streaming platform, you have a license. On blockchain, you own it. And as Donald says "you can't give it, if you don't own it." If you're a filmmaker, a creator, or a founder who's been told your project is too niche, this episode is your proof of concept. This isn't just a film launch. It's a manifesto.
