--  Arabian Camels, an NFT community revolutionizing the film industry, today announced the pre-sale of the Antara Movie NFT. Pre-sales will begin on January 14, 2022, with integration from the cryptocurrency exchange, MoonPay, enabling individuals to buy Ethereum from its official website, to enable NFT purchases.

The private pre-sale minting on January 14, 2022, will only be available to the inner circle of the Arabian Camel Club. Thereafter, whitelist spaces will start to become available to the public. To get access to the whitelist, aspiring NFT buyers can join the Arabian Camel Discord community to get access to the historic NFT drop. Following this historic minting, the Antara Movie NFT will be the first NFT that allows a buyer to digitally part-own the rights of a $50M Hollywood film. Furthermore, ownership rights will entitle holders to parts of the film's box office and streaming revenues. NFT holders can also get up to 80% yield on their NFTs from yield farming during film production, which is only possible due to an exclusive DeFi partnership between Arabian Camels and Swapp Protocol.

Arabian Camels are bending perceptions in terms of the brand strategy and how they offer exclusivity and value to their holders. Due to the symbology behind the Camels and the new era they represent, some Art Galleries around the world are expressing very strong interest in being able to also sell the Antara Movie NFTs as physical prints, with digital backing. This would enable large mantle piece canvases to be described as the first paintings in history to provide DeFi Yield functionality, and represent part IP ownership in a Blockbuster Hollywood Swords and Sandals Epic. The film “Antara” is set to make history as the first major film to be produced by an NFT, while Arabian Camels will be the first NFT community to produce and part-own the rights to a $50 million Hollywood production.

"The impact that Arabian Camels will have on Hollywood is immense. This is an exciting and revolutionary move that will inject a whole new lease of life into the movie business,” said Josef Brandmaier, Producer.

 “SC Films supports filmmakers making the artist journey to realize a film's full commercial potential. ‘Antara' is the first Hollywood-budgeted film as an NFT. Antara is innovative and disruptive to the established order of financing which is controlled by a small oligopoly in Hollywood—the democratization and decentralization is long overdue," said Matthew Joynes, Producer.

The image for the Antara Movie NFT is an Arabian Camel 2.0 that includes a distinct Hollywood clapper at the top right corner of the image. For more information on how to own an Antara Movie NFT and join the Arabian Camels club, please visit www.ArabianCamels.io.

The movie is the long overdue true story, about one of the most revered Knights in all of Arabic history - Antara Ibn Shaddad. He was born as a black slave in the Ancient Arabian Desert, and eventually won his freedom. He then went on to become not only the most dignified knight, but one of the most sagacious and respected poets in all of Arabic history. The production of the movie was meticulously put together with the help of professors of Arabic Literature from Oxford, Cambridge, Yale, and the School of Oriental and African studies, meaning it's not another Marvel movie. The story of Antara is reminiscent of both Alexander the Great and Romeo and Juliet. His story has been told repeatedly for the past 1,500 years. Antara rose to stardom in the 6th century, not only due to his character and prowess on the battlefield but, also, due to his miraculous talent as a poet. His poetry was held in such high regard, that it was sewn in gold, and suspended on the Kaaba in Mecca before the days of Islam. . To this day, if one studies Arabic Literature in Oxford or Cambridge, the poetry of Antara is still studied and revered.

The film was originally set to be shot in Neom, Saudi Arabia; however, Abu Dhabi, as a modern tech hub, has also shown a keen interest in hosting the production of the film. Currently, the production team is assessing which Middle Eastern region is ideal for the film's crew and production.

Celebrity Endorsements Combined with a Grassroots Community Movement

Seeing the immense value in cryptocurrency and community-funded movies, celebrities across Hollywood are buying the Antara Movie NFT. Many producers, actors, actresses, and financiers are buying the Arabian Camel NFT and joining the ‘Caravan'. Many people join the Arabian Camels community as it leads the way into the future of Hollywood.

Most recently, Larsa Pippen, TV personality and Brand Advisor for Swapp Protocol, has joined the Camel Club.

“As a female entrepreneur in tech and digital currency, I am totally inspired by the Antara Movie NFT concept, along with the ‘Antara' storyline itself. The Arabian Camels have completely redefined the boundaries of what is possible with NFTs and DeFi,” Pippen says."

Ayo and Teo, the famed duo of dancers and musicians, have also joined the Arabian Camels Club and collaborated with them to create an official Camel Song which is to be sold as an NFT. The famed artists appear in Fortnite and Just Dance, and have appeared in music videos for Usher's "No Limit" and Chris Brown's "Party". Their song "Rolex" peaked at number 20 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and has almost a Billion views on YouTube. The Camels plan on incorporating the famous and viral ‘Globglogabgalab' sample music that was sampled in Kanye West's Remote Control song, on his Donda album. Donda initially scored the most first-day streams for an album in 2021 on both Apple Music and Spotify. The Globglogabgalab music has gone viral 3 times before. It is set to do so again, but this time with the Camels.

Before the public are allowed to mint the Antara Movie NFT, a private pre-sale minting for the Antara Movie NFT will take place on the 14th January. The minting session will only be available to the inner circle Arabian Camel Club before opening up whitelist spaces to the public. Antara Movie NFT holders will get part ownership of the IP rights of the $50 million Hollywood war epic, “Antara.” The Antara Movie NFT seeks to grant buyers up to 50 percent of the intellectual property rights to “Antara” for 3 to 5 years.

The Antara Movie NFT is drawing wide interest from celebrities and NFT enthusiasts alike. Members from the Arabian Camel NFT community will share in the ownership of the film's intellectual property, get roles in the movie, credit as producers, and join the production team for exclusive gatherings on the set in the Arabian Desert with the cast and crew. The differentiation of this NFT project is its real-world utility, separating itself from the typical NFT projects of 2021, inflated by hype alone. The Arabian Camels are now becoming a powerful symbol of what is achievable when crypto communities join in numbers, united by a common vision.

The Arabian Camels envision merging movies and NFTs with DeFi, Gaming, and the Metaverse. The community believes it can extract future value from the boo ming transmedia space and simultaneously share those entertainment properties with the Arabian Camel community. Prospective film distributors would pay the owners of the Antara Movie NFT to distribute the movie in theaters and/or streaming channels, which is expected to the Arabian Camel community into millions of dollars in real-world value. 

Entering the Metaverse in Collaboration with vEmpire

Arabian Camels has also collaborated with Dominic Ryder, CEO of vEmpire, whose token has recently rocketed 1500 percent and reached a market cap of $100 million. Dominic Ryder's protocol is in the process of designing and creating the Antara Play-To-Earn game, which has already gotten the attention of some prominent venture capital firms. The multiplayer raiding game is expected to plant the Arabian Camels brand and the Antara IP firmly into the metaverse and add another layer of value for Arabian Camels' holders. The game is set to bring fun and reliable income to thousands of players in developing countries and will run off a scholarship model. The Arabian Camels NFTs will be a commodity within the game. In conjunction, they will also be launching their very own gaming token, the in-game currency that is set to be listed on major cryptocurrency exchanges.

vEmpire (http://www.v-empire.digital/), a project dedicated to restoring fairness to the Metaverse, has partnered with The Antara Universe to develop the official Antara strategy game based on the upcoming $50M “Antara” feature film, the first Hollywood Movie in history supported by NFTs. The Antara film is part of a broader transmedia rollout by the Arabian Camels community, and also includes the “Antara Strategy Game,” developed by vEmpire. Both Antara IP and vEmpire understand the importance of building utility for NFT projects, so holders of the Arabian Camels and The Founding Soldiers, vEmpire's NFT series, will automatically qualify to be gifted tokens for the official Antara game via an airdrop. 

The Antara film will be supported by the sale of new upcoming Movie NFTs, which will be a sequel to the original Arabian Camels NFT collection of 12,012 uniquely generated digital collectibles living on the Ethereum blockchain.  

The first iteration of Arabian Camels (Gen 1) available on OpenSea, provides added boosts and benefits for gameplay such as the ability to use Camels to conduct raids in the game. Players who don't own Camels can also effectively rent them from the NFT holders to enable more advanced & potentially higher-yielding gameplay. The upcoming Gen 2 Arabian Camels Movie NFTs will include exclusive rights to the Antara movie, allowing for shared ownership of the IP. Demand for the NFTs is expected to increase exponentially given the launch of the game and movie in the coming months. 

“vEmpire DDAO was an easy choice to partner with for our game production. vEmpire has the unique ability and experience in not just one, but across all of the major Metaverses. Alongside this, their own gaming experience and multidimensional thinking gives us a broader scope when choosing where Antara can put its roots down,” said Alexander Amartei, producer of Antara.

“It's a great honor to partner and be involved in a project that will go down in history as the first of its kind. At vEmpire, we understand that NFTs are a disruptive technology that will significantly improve a multitude of industries. Developing the official game for a historic feature film, that will change the landscape of how movies are produced, is something that we're very excited and proud to be involved with,” commented vEmpire founder Dom Ryder.

This is a monumental achievement for vEmpire as it signifies another major partnership, this time partnering with a historic project, to develop the first blockchain-based game based on the first feature film supported by NFTs. This will help vEmpire expand its reach in the metaverse and benefit from any tokens launched for the game and in-game revenue generation.

The Arabian Camels NFTs are available on OpenSea and the new upcoming Movie NFTs, soon to be released, will enable NFT holders to own partial movie rights to the film. 

More information surrounding the upcoming Antara film can be found on the official website or by joining the Arabian Camels Discord community.

--  Arabian Camels, a tight-knit NFT community revolutionizing the movie business, today announced the launch of an ‘Antara Movie NFT' in partnership with Swapp Protocol, offering a groundbreaking NFT Farming utility that allows the movie NFT holders to get an almost 100 percent APY before the movie even gets released. The ‘Antara Movie NFT' seeks to grant buyers up to 50 percent of the intellectual property rights to “Antara,” a $50 million dollar feature film. Antara is based on the life of Antarah Ibn Shaddad, an ancient Arabian knight and poet, famous for his adventurous life.

Arabian Camels will partner with Swapp Protocol to produce the world's first decentralized feature film production NFTs with DeFi capabilities. The idea behind partnering with Swapp Protocol is to enable the use of their decentralized finance products to eliminate the monetary risk associated with movie funding and revolutionize the industry.

 Swapp brings a new dynamic to the NFT project. Their vast multidimensional capabilities within the DeFi space, allows Arabian Camels to integrate the movie industry with NFT technology.  Swapp Protocol is not only the leader in decentralized finance, but also a pioneer in the NFT space. Swapp's NFT Marketplace is home to exclusive, vetted, utility based NFTs, which aim to merge the worlds of art and blockchain technology.

 “My vision was to create a system to produce films that normally cost in excess of $50M, completely risk free,'' said Alexander Amaratei, the Producer of Antara. “In addition to eliminating funding risks, this system would allow films to be owned by the fans, the NFT owners. This feat would not have been possible without Swapp's innovative NFT Farming capabilities and blockchain/cryptocurrency knowledge and platforms.”  

 Swapp's NFT farming platform will allow Arabian Camel NFT owners to earn passive income on their NFTs.  The Farming allows the films to be funded, while simultaneously providing a direct monetary benefit to those who support the project, before the theatrical release. This paradigm shift moves the control of the industry away from traditional lenders and production studios, and into the hands of individuals/fans who support the film, which Swapp coined.

 The historical significance of this NFT drop cannot be overlooked.  For the first time in history, a feature film will be funded through the release of a NFT, and the Arabian Camels and the Swapp Protocol will pave the way. This NFT project will completely revolutionize and ‘de-risk' an entire industry.

 Leveraging Swapp's large real world data company helps provide insight, creating a competitive advantage as we replace the antiquated system of movie funding.  As a partner, Swapp has proven to be able to identify market opportunities and expeditiously implement/execute cutting edge solutions as seen through their NFT Marketplace, Decentralized Exchange, and Data Monetization App.

“With the power of community, speed of the internet, and dexterity of DeFi, we are generating a tectonic shift that will create waves of opportunity in the film industry.” – Tural Bayev (CEO, Swapp Protocol)

The movie is being directed by a world-class Hollywood director, who instantly agreed to join the project when they were introduced to the concept of Antara. Members from the Arabian Camel NFT community will share in ownership of the film, get roles in the movie, credit as producers, and join the production team for exclusive gatherings on the set in the Arabian Desert with the cast and crew. The differentiation of this NFT project is it's real-world utility, separating itself from the typical NFT projects inflated by hype alone. The Arabian Camel NFT is becoming a powerful symbol of what is achievable when crypto communities join forces, united by a common vision.

 The Arabian Camels envision merging Movies and NFTs with DeFi, Gaming, and the Metaverse, with a focus on community, extracting value from the booming transmedia space, and sharing the value entertainment properties with the Arabian Camel community. Prospective film distributors would pay the owners of the Antara Movie NFT to distribute the movie in theaters and/or streaming channels, tying the Arabian Camel community into millions of dollars worth of value in the real world. 

 Arabian Camels have also collaborated with Dominic Ryder, CEO of vEmpire, whose token has recently rocketed 1500 percent and reached a market cap of $100M. Dominic Ryder's protocol is in the process of designing and creating the ANTARA Play-To-Earn game, which has already gotten the attention of some prominent VC firms. The multiplayer raiding game is expected to plant the Arabian Camels brand and the Antara IP firmly into the Metaverse, and add another layer of value for Arabian Camels holders. The game is set to bring fun and reliable income to thousands of players in developing countries and will run off of a scholarship model. The Arabian Camels NFTs are now to be a commodity and have functionality within the game. In conjunction, they will also be launching their very own gaming token, the in-game currency that is set to be listed on major Cryptocurrency exchanges.

 The production of the movie was meticulously put together with the help of professors of Arabic Literature from Oxford, Cambridge, Yale, and the School of Oriental and African studies, meaning it's not another Marvel. It has a very rich, intelligent, and powerful historical appeal. It was originally set to be shot in NEOM, Saudi Arabia, but Abu Dhabi, as a modern tech hub, has also shown a keen willingness to accommodate the production, to be credited as the ones that helped to bring this epic story to the world. The production team is currently assessing which of the Middle Eastern regions can offer the best incentives and working conditions for the production.

 The story of Antara is reminiscent of both Alexander the Great and Romeo and Juliet, of the Middle East. His story has been told repeatedly for the past 1,500 years. He was a black slave in ancient/pre-Islamic Arabia, who won his freedom and became a lofty knight. He rose to stardom in the 5th century, not only due to his character and prowess on the battlefield but also, his miraculous talent as a poet.

“While other NFT projects were busy manipulating their floor price and buying up their own NFTs, the founder of Arabian Camels, stayed low-key, quietly working on building long-term quality. The result is game-changing tokenomics and strategies that enable the Arabian Camels to define a new era of the movie business,”  said Alexander Amartei, Producer of Antara, and inventor of Movie NFTs. “The Arabian Camels is the only NFT community that has managed to position itself uniquely between movies and NFTs. As a new pop culture brand, we are now ready to launch our movie strategy, gaming strategy, and token launch on major exchanges.”
