How Will Rapids Grow?
Simon is tasked with building strategic partnerships for future business growth, bridging the gap between Rapids customer and product.
Simon comes with a wealth of experience in the filming Industry, and has spent the last four years directing Carmarthen Bay Film Festival BAFTA Short Film, BAFTA Cymru and IMDb qualifying festival in the heart of Wales UK.
In May, Rapids is heading to Wales and will be attending the Festival. CBFF has gone from strength to strength over the years. From their first festival in 2012, they have gone from 35 submissions to well over 1000 from 70 plus countries for our 2020 festival. Not only have the submissions increased over the years, but the number of filmmakers and festival patrons attending has as well and at this time Rapids will be demonstrating one of our newest developments in and around the event.
Rapids Network offers huge potential for film creators like Simon, such as the use of NFTs and at the same time we’ll be exploring the possibilities of a decentralized ticketing system on the Rapids Blockchain for future events and more.
