Erin Derham is following up 2019’s “Stuffed,” a look inside the world of taxidermy, with “To Boldly Go,” a doc which will “explore the explosion of NFTs and the digital Web3 future,” per Deadline. The film promises to dive into “a new cultural wild west” and follow “the most innovative leaders and creators in that space.”
”NFTs and Web3 seem so suspect, but in my experience, those are the subjects that need a deep dive rather than a cold shoulder,” said Derham. “They are usually on to something great. This documentary is that deep dive into the ‘why’,” she emphasized. “NFTs and cryptocurrency are officially entering the mainstream. It’s time we all understand what that means.”
In an interview with us, Derham shared, “The best advice I ever received was to try—very simple. If you don’t know how to do something, try. If you fail, Google it, and try again. There is no excuse worthy enough of letting your dreams slip away without a fight.”
The director revealed that becoming a filmmmaker was something “far out of the realm of possibilities” for her. She explained, “Filmmaking has always been in my blood, but I was my worst enemy. I had a learning disability and went to public school in Memphis, Tennessee that stifled any originality. My insecurities held me back for years until I started a minor acting career in undergrad.”
Derham’s other credits include “Buskin’ Blues” and “Julian Price.”
