\n

Award-winning actress Jennifer Esposito is branching out into NFTs in a big way. Known for her influential roles in Spin City, Crash, Taxi and more, Esposito is set to make both her directorial and crypto-art debut all in one with feature-length film NFT, FRESH KILLS<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Seeking to support underrepresented voices and empower artists, Esposito has entered her name into the weird wide world of NFTs with this latest endeavor. Set to go up for sale on OpenSea from Feb. 3-5, the FRESH KILLS<\/em> NFT collection \u2014 which came together to support female-driven content created by female directors \u2014 will be presented in collaboration with award-winning Barcelona-based female NFT artist, Gala Mirissa<\/a>, and platinum award-winning musician and producer Mike Gonek<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe NFT space to me is freedom. Freedom for the artist and freedom for the people who take part in the journey of that NFT,\u201d said Esposito in a statement. \u201cHaving these incredible artists step forward and give their support not only to my film but also to female-driven content made by female directors is magical. This kind of collaboration through NFTs is the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

While photography and music have slowly but surely been finding a foothold in the digital art-dominated NFT market, few have attempted to onboard film onto the blockchain. As we recently witnessed Julie Pacino successfully fund her forthcoming film I Live Here Now<\/em> through a sizeable NFT sale, Esposito is now aiming to accomplish a similar feat, on possibly an even larger scale with FRESH KILLS<\/em>.<\/p>\n

FRESH KILLS<\/em>, billed as a gripping drama, tells the story of the loyal women of an organized crime family that dominated some of the boroughs of New York City in the late 20th century. The film stars Annabella Sciorra, who played Gloria Trillo on the critically acclaimed TV show \u201cThe Sopranos,\u201d and is written from the perspective of women within organized crime.<\/p>\n

The forthcoming NFT collection \u2014 sale time and total supply TBA \u2014 will offer unique pieces that combine kinetic visual art with original music based on the film\u2019s screenplay. Early supporters of the film that decide to purchase a FRESH KILLS NFT during the three-day sale will be eligible to receive extra perks such as executive producer credits, red carpet premiere invites, visits to set, and even a cameo on the film.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
