Today we have the co-founders of Virtue Animation, Bob Bacon and Josh Wagner. It's a web3 animation studio producing innovative, high quality IP for the metaverse. A former EVP at Disney and Paramount Pictures joined forces with the former corporate marketers of Anheuser-Busch and Lyrical Lemonade to create a studio dedicated to building a platform for original IP by leveraging the tools of blockchain technology. Their first creative endeavor is Basemint Gang, an irreverent satirical cartoon focused on NFT rejects finding their path to becoming authentic degens.
