Overview
Dionysus Studio is the brainchild of a group of accomplished
Hollywood moviemaking and finance professionals.
We want to use Blockchain to open the inner workings of the
Hollywood boardroom, enabling people from all walks of life to
participate in the exciting world of entertainment production.
Our goal is to bring Hollywood movies and network television
shows onto the Dionysus platform so we can fund projects
while they are still in the pre production phase.
Before we explain how Cinema tokens and our funding
platform work, we’ll cover how the Ethereum cryptocurrency
and Blockchain work together to enable our investors to get
in on the ground floor of financing the latest and most
exciting Hollywood projects.
The backbone of our idea is the Cinema token, a new form of
cryptocurrency that will fund these projects or lead to other
tokens created later for specific projects. The Cinema token is
tradeable, just like Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies such as
Ethereum, on whose platform the Cinema token is built.
The Cinema Token will allow Dionysus members to effectively
be Virtual Producers on the Dionysus Platform.

Cryptocurrency
Overview
Almost everyone has heard of Bitcoin, the first cryptocurrency.
Bitcoin was introduced to the world in 2009.
Bitcoin was invented by Satoshi Nakamoto, who described a
new form of currency that uses cryptography to control its
creation rather than agovernment.
Bitcoin “mining” is the process of decoding the underlying
algorithm to create more Bitcoin. Mining Bitcoin is a
competitive and complex process, and requires highly
specialized equipment and programming tools to make it
profitable—or even possible.
This extreme level of dificulty prevents just anyone from
creating an unlimited number of Bitcoins, which would result
in a rapid decrease in value.
Bitcoins are bought and sold on exchanges, just like any “real”
currency such as US dollars, Japanese yen or British pounds
sterling. The exchange rate for Bitcoin can change based on
demand.
As of this writing, the exchange rate varies from about $3200
to $3600 US dollars to 1Bitcoin. One of the earliest Bitcoin
transactions recorded was 10,000 Bitcoins for two Papa
John’s pizzas. At today’s exchange rates, those two pizzas
cost the buyer at least $23 million in lost growth.
Since the introduction of Bitcoin, several other
cryptocurrencies have been introduced. The most promising
of these is the Ethereum Ether, which can be used to create
tradeable digital tokens such as the Cinema token from
Dionysus.Studio.

Advantages
of Cryptocurrency
Cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum Ether run on decentralized
platforms known as blockchain. Blockchain is a shared global
infrastructure that can move value between parties.
The Ethereum blockchain has two groundbreaking capabilities:
It keeps an encrypted perpetual record of every transaction
performed anywhere in theworld.
This perpetual record also tracks the ownership of all
units of thecryptocurrency.
Second, the blockchain technology supports the use of “smart
contracts” which can be used to create markets, store records
of debts or promises and move funds in accordance with
instructions such as the terms of a contract.
Because no single party has control over the records or
transactions of cryptocurrency and blockchain, there is no
capacity for nefarious parties to commit fraud.
Applications on blockchain run exactly as programmed
without any possibility of downtime, censorship, fraud or
third-party interference.
As a result, user data remains secure and private, but
decentralized so it is not subject to corruption or single
point failures.

Advantages
of Cryptocurrency
This unique combination of technologies enables
Dionysus.Studio to attract studios and production houses,
fund film and TV projects and receive royalties quickly,
securely and privately.
Tokenholders could participate in exciting Hollywood projects
that would otherwise be closed to them by using Cinema
tokens and the Ethereumblockchain.
Cinema token owners may also have the opportunity to
trade tokens for memorabilia or experiences associated with
the movie or TV projects launched. This may include
clothing or prop items that appeared onscreen or visits to
selected production sets.
Using Ethereum, companies like Dionysus.Studio can create
tokens and contracts to fund projects and bring them to
fruition.
All of this is possible without requiring lawyers, centralized
arbitrators, clearing houses or having to trust any party you
don’t know.
Presently, there are more than
92,000,000
ether in circulation. The daily trading
volume averages about $1billion.
1Ether =$120
Ethereum is the second most valuable
cryptocurrency available today, with a
market cap of more than $12 billion dollars

Dionysus Studio’s
Business Objectives
We’re about democratizing Hollywood, and
giving a platform for the people to crowdfund
and support their favorite film and TV projects,
without the lack of accountability and
burdensome fees of traditional
Now, even without the
usual deep pockets of
Hollywood moguls,
millennials and
cryptocurrency investors of
any generation can have a
seat at the table and help
determine which worthy
projects get the funding
needed for production.
The reins of financing entertainment projects
have been held in the hands of a few executives
in Hollywood and New York, but with Cinema
tokens, anyone anywhere in the world can
become part of the exciting world.
Because the funding for new
film and TV ventures has
been controlled by a handful
of network executives and
the top streaming sites, the
independent filmmaker with
a smaller scale but
potentially highly profitable
project frequently gets
overlooked in favor of
Hollywood blockbusters and
franchise projects.

How the Cinema
Token Sale Works
The official ICO will launch after the
PRE-ICO phase ends. 1100MM total
Cinema tokens will be available for sale
for a period of up to 365 days. Any
unsold tokens will be burned out of
circulation
Producers will have the first opportunity to
purchase sub-project tokens. This would be
the equivalent of a private presale in
standard ICOs. Producers will be able to
purchase at a discount below the amount
that will eventually be sold to the public.
A portion of profits made from
projects will be used to purchase back
Cinema tokens and remove them
from circulation.
After producers have the opportunity to
purchase sub-project tokens, boardmembers
and assistant producers will have their
opportunity before the public does.
The Cinema crowdsale will be divided into
two segments. One sale occurring within
the borders of the United States via a
REG-D ofering and a simultaneous token
ofering sale via the Bahamian Company
Dionysus
Cinema.
Executive producers, who arelooking for
funding can submit project proposals for film
and television onto the Dionysus platform.
The submission will createa sub-project
token specifically toraise the capital needed
for theproject.
The private presale will endin approx. 65
days or when 300MM tokens are sold out.
After that the PRE-ICO begins and it will last
an additional 30 days. There will be 300MM
tokens available in this phase.
Dionysus will raise capital initially
through the private sale of
300,000,000 Cinema tokens . The
private sale will be the lowest
possible entry price.

You can purchase tokens by
transferring Ethereum Ether
(ETH) to the address
announced on
dionysus.studio beginning
on the day of the token

timeline in this table. 2
Billion additional Cinema
Tokens will be locked in
smart contracts and will
only be released in two
phases. 1 Billion when the
price reaches $20 and the
second when the price
reaches $40.
If fewer than 1,100,000,000
tokens are sold during the
crowdsale phase, the
remainder will be pulled out
of circulation.
After the initial sale period ends,
Cinema tokens will be listed on
various cryptocurrency
exchanges. Cinema Tokens are
built on Ethereum and use the
ERC223 Token Standard Interface,
ensuring the owners’ ability to
trade them on any platform that
allows ERC20 token trading.

STUDIO
TOKEN
14white paper version1.0
Unique Two Token
Business Model
Dionysus Studio will operate on two types of Tokens:
Cinema Tokens and Project Tokens
Cinema Tokens are provided to the public in a crowdsale. Possession of
Cinema Tokens entitle token holders to various levels of control in deciding
which projects receive funding. The highest level of token holder, Producers,
are able to pitch their own ideas. Cinema Tokens are DEFLATIONARY and will
be eliminated from circulationas they are used in some cases.
Project Tokensare issued by the holders of Cinema Tokens when they have a
project that they have greenlit. Project tokens act as securities, and entitle the
holders to access a portion of the profits of the completed film.

In recognition of the collaborative environment needed to create great films,
Dionysus will build several platforms to allow interaction among our community
members.
Writer’s Guild will be a forum where writers will be able to post their
screenplays/treatments/stories to the platform. In order for Virtual Producers
to view the content posted to the Writer’s Guild, they must stake their tokens to
the level of a Virtual Producer to open the area. Virtual Producers may negotiate
with writers for the rights to produce their screenplay in Cinema tokens. Once
negotiated, the parties enter into a smart contract where they will move to the
next area the Virtual Producer Hall.
Virtual Producer Hall will be a forum where Virtual Producers seek support from
other Virtual Producers on projects they are trying to push through to the
Boardroom. Virtual Producers have access to the Writer’s guild’s
screenplays/stories/treatments so long at their tokens are staked at the required
level.
The Boardroom is the area where projects arrive to receive development phase
funds. The development phase includes creating or refining the script, getting
talent attached and figuring out the exact budget needed.
The development phase funds may come from various sources.
• Development Phase Buckets
• Direct Investment
• Investment by the platform itself.
Development Phase Buckets are special funds created for the specific
purpose of developing projects coming to the platform. Development phase
buckets can be partially funded by the platform itself or by the Dionysus
community. The buckets are created to mitigate overall risk since projects are
considered very risky at this stage. Only certain projects make it to the bucket.
These are selected by an internal algorithm. Projects within a development
bucket may have 100% of their development phase funded or partially funded.
For partially funded projects the balance of the development must come from
either direct investment or by the platform itself.
Dionysus Platform
16white paper version1.0
Direct Investment – this fund is created so the community can directly invest
in developing a specific project. These investors are paid back once the money is
raised covering the entire necessary budget.
Platform Investment – On select projects, the platform itself may invest into
the film’s development phase. These investors are paid back once the money is
raised covering the entire necessary budget.
Development Phase – Once the funds are secured in the boardroom phase, the
development phase begins. This is when the Dionysus team begins using its
resources to develop the project with a professionally written script that is ready
for production, determine the budget, find attachments and if possible get LOI
for distribution.
Main Stage - Once projects complete and come out of the development phase
they are ready to proceed to the Main Stage. Project Tokens are created and are
held in escrow via Smart Contracts for the different parties involved. The tokens
would essentially represent the parties prorate equity share of the project. Those
parties include the party that submitted the original story, the virtual producers, the
development phase funders, the production team and the public investors. The
project tokens that are available for sale to the public are the tokens allocated for
investors. The revenue generated from the sale of project tokens would need to
equal the budget of the film. Once this amount is raised, the development phase
funders are reimbursed and the project goes to the production phase.
Production Phase – The production will be handled by preapproved production
teams. Initially the productions will be hand selected by the Dionysus platform. As
the platform grows, production teams would need to stake Cinema tokens in order
to be considered as options for producing Dionysus content.
Dionysus Platforms

platform.
VIrtual Producers
Virtual Producers need to stake Cinema
tokens to view the
screenplays/treatment/stories posted to the
bulletin board area by the Storytellers.
Virtual Producers may make an offer in Cinema
tokens for the rights to produce the screenplay.
The Cinema Tokens will be sent to a smart
contract and then converted to USD and
deposited into the storytellers’s account to abide
by the Writer’s guild rules. Once a deal is made
a smart contract will be created to reflect the
terms of the offer.
The smart contract is called a Project Smart
Contract and it will be the base smart contract
that will receive all the funding to produce the
project and will also ultimately be the contract
that receives the proceeds from the box ofice.

create a social medial strategy to draw
attention to their project. Getting the
development phase funds is required in
order to move the project to the
development phase and then onto the
Main Stage.
Main Stage

MAIN STAGE
The main stage is the area where projects
can get funded by the public. Projects will
essentially each have their own ICO. Each
project will have its own project token and
will be disbursed between the original
storyteller, the Virtual Producers, the
development phase funders, the Production
Company, the investors and the Dionysus
platform.
The token has multiple utilities.
First and foremost, the token will
represent a share of interest in the
project.
These project tokens, at the discretion of
the Dionysus platform, may give special
offers in exchange for the them.
Dionysus may get creative in their
offers and offer things like tickets to
the screening of the film, merchandise,
autographs and evenonset visitation
during filming.
Once funding is reached.Dionysus
will return the development phase
capital along with initial return of
investment promised.
The project will move towards the

This allows Dionysus participants to leverage the experience and
talent of established film professionals who have been carefully
vetted by the Dionysus corporate team, while allowing existing
film production companies to benefit from the dynamism and
creativity unleashed by the Dionysus platforms
Eventually, the size of the project assigned to the film production
company will depend on the amount of Cinema Token they have
staked - production companies that have acquired and staked
more Cinema Tokens will be able to work on larger projects
Cinema Tokens staked by the production company will be held as
collateral in a Smart Contract, until the film project has been
successfully produced and completed
Depending on the terms, the film production company will
receive cash compensation and / or Project Tokens which
represent equity in the future of the film

acquire content licenses that give them rights to watch a film
These content licenses will be implemented with cryptographic
keys and Smart Contracts, restricting the number of times or the
amount of time available for a viewer to watch the content
Movie studios can directly use Cinema Tokens to purchase content
licenses for showing films supported by the Dionysus Studios

Dionysus will collect data on our users’ funding patterns: the type of films funded by
various geographic, financial, gender and racial demographics.
This data will be provided free of charge to virtual producers on the platform.
Individuals who are not at an Virtual Producer or higher status of CinemaToken
holding can purchase access to this data via a subscription fee payable in
Cinema Tokens.
This data is invaluable to screenwriters and other creatives who wish to target their
work to particular markets, or who wish to know what topics are exciting to
moviegoers at the moment.
Dionysus’ proprietary machine learning algorithms leverage neural networks and
Random Forest decision trees to optimally identify trends in movie funding, allowing
those in our network to have their finger on the pulse of the movie funding
community.
We have already developed Machine Learning techniques using two layer

If the future, Smaller budget projects that are not greenlit by the Dionysus executives ,
may still be produced if enough Funder token holders exercise a veto on the

Glossary
27white paper version1.0
Cinema Tokens: The tokens ofered by Dionysus Studios in the ICO/STO crowdsale. Cinema
Token holders will exercise power over which projects are approved by Dionysus Studios.
They can also pitch their own ideas to the Dionysus community and to Dionysus investors.
Project Tokens: Tokens issued on a per project basis for films that have been approved by
Dionysus Studios. These tokens act as securities for the people funding the film, and entitle
their holders to a share of the profits of the film.
Boardroom: The area where projects are looking to raise funds for the
development phase. The boardroom is where the virtual producers meet and
direct the public towards funds that will help get the development funds their
project needs.
Main Stage: A platform that allows investors to purchase Project Tokens in films being
produced by DionysusStudios.
Maria’s List: A portal for advertising open positions on films being produced by Dionysus
Studios. It acts like an “Angie’s List” for Dionysus films.
Writer’s Guild: An area of the Guild Board where storytellers’s must join in order to post
to the bulletin board area. This area is where the lifecycle of a project begins.
TakeTwo Exchange: A digital exchange for ProjectTokens.
Dionysus Connect: A social network for members of the Dionysus creative community,
attracting screenwriters, performing talent, directors,etc.
Virtual Producers are Cinema token holders that help move the project forward through
the Dionysus platform.
Funders are Project token holders who bought their way into a project on the Main Stage.
Production Company is the film production company that is hired to produce the film
project. The production company may be the Dionysus platform or it may be a third party
hired for the job.
Risk of Losing Accessto Cinema Token Due to Loss of Credentials
The purchaser’s Cinema Token may be associated with a Cinema Token account until it is
distributed to the purchaser. The Cinema Token account can only be accessed with login
credentials selected by the purchaser. The loss of these credentials will result in the loss of
Cinema Token. Loss of credentials associated with any third party and or digital wallet
containing and or controlling Cinema Token will result in loss ofCinema Token. Best practices
dictate that purchasers safely store credentials in one or more backup locations geographically
separated from the working location.
Risk Associated with the Ethereum Protocol
Cinema Token and the Cinema Token network are based on the Ethereum protocol. As such, any
malfunction, unintended function or unexpected functioning of the Ethereum protocol maycause
the Cinema Token network or Cinema Token to malfunction or function in an unexpected or
unintended manner.
Risk Associated with Purchaser Credentials
Ether, the native unit of account of the Ethereum Protocol, may itself lose value, which could have
a negative impact on the functioning of the Cinema Token network. More information about the
Ethereum protocol is available at http://www.ethereum.org.
Any third party that gains access to the purchaser’s login credentials or private keys may be able
to dispose of or misappropriate the purchaser’s Cinema Token.
To minimize this risk, the purchaser should guard against unauthorized
access to their electronicdevices.
Risk of lack of adoption or use of the Cinema token Network
While Cinema Token should not be viewed as an investment, it may potentially (but likely will
not) have utility value over time. That value may be limited or nonexistent if the Cinema Token
network lacks use and adoption.
Risk of Dissolution of the Cinema token project
It is possible that, due to any number of reasons, including, without limitation, an unfavorable
fluctuation in the value of Ether (or other cryptographic and fiat currencies), decrease in the
utility value of Cinema Token, the failure of business relationships, or competing intellectual
property claims, the Cinema Token network may no longer be a viable business and the
Company may dissolve or the Cinema Token network may fail to launch.
Risk Disclosure for
Cinema Token
Crowdsale Last Updated February 1,2018

Risk of Unfavorable Regulatory Action in One �or More Jurisdictions
Blockchain technologies have been the subject of scrutiny by various regulatory bodies around
the world. The functioning of the Cinema Token network and Cinema Token could be impacted
by one or more regulatory inquiries or actions, including, but not limited to, restrictions on the
use or possession of digital tokens like Cinema Token, which could impede or limit the
development of the Cinema Token network. Funding film and TV projects is a core business of
the Company, have been, and will likely continue to be, the subject of scrutiny by various
regulatory bodies around the world. The legal ability for the Company to operate the Cinema
Token network in some or all jurisdictions could be eliminated by future regulation or legal
actions. In the event that it is not
legal for the Cinema Token network to operate in a jurisdiction, the Company will cease
operations in that jurisdiction. There is a serious risk that the Company will be unable to operate
if regulation makes it dificult to do so.
Risk of Alternative, unoficial Cinema token Networks
Following the sale and the development of the initial version of the Cinema Token platform and
Cinema Token network, it is possible that alternative networks could be established, which utilize
the same open source code and open source protocol underlying the Cinema Token network.
The oficial Cinema Token network may compete with these alternative, unoficial Cinema
Token-based networks, which could potentially negatively impact the Cinema Token network
and CinemaToken.
Risk of Weakness or exploitable breakthrough in the Field of Cryptography
Advances in cryptography, or technical advances such as the development of quantum
computers, could present risks to cryptographic tokens and the Cinema Token platform,
which could result in the theft or loss of Cinema Token.
Risk of an unfavorable fluctuation of Ethereum Ether (“ETH”) and other currency value
The Company team intends to use the proceeds of the Cinema Token sale to fund development
of the Cinema Token network. The proceeds of the Cinema Token sale will be denominated in 12
ETH, and converted into other cryptographic and fiat currencies. If the value of ETH or other
currencies fluctuates unfavorably during or after the sale, the Company team may not be able to
fund development, or may not be able to develop the Cinema Token network in the manner that
it intended or promised.

Risk Disclosure for
Cinema Token
Crowdsale Last Updated February 1,2018
Risk of Insuficient Interest in the Cinema token or distributed Applications
It is possible that the Cinema token will not be used by a large number of businesses, individuals,
and other organizations and that there will be limited public interest in the creation and
development of distributed applications. Such a lack of interest could impact the development of
the Cinema Token network and therefore the potential uses or utility of Cinema Token.
Risk that the Cinema Token Network, As Developed, Will not meet the expectations of the Purchaser
The Cinema Token network is presently under development and may undergo significant changes
before release. Any expectations regarding the form and functionality of Cinema Token or the Cinema
Token network held by the purchaser may not be met upon release for any number of reasons,
including a change in the design and implementation plans and execution of the Cinema Token
network.
Risk of Theft and Hacking
Hackers or other groups or organizations may attempt to interfere with the Cinema Token
network orthel availability of Cinema Token in any number of ways, including, but not limited to,
denial of service attacks, Sybil attacks, spoofing, smurfing, malware attacks, or consensus-based
attacks.
Risk of Security Weaknesses in the Cinema Token Network Core Infrastructure Software
The Cinema Token network consists of open-source software that is itself based on open-source
software. There is a risk that the Company team or other third parties may intentionally or
unintentionally introduce weaknesses or bugs into the core infrastructural elements of the
Cinema Token network interfering with the use of or causing the loss of Cinema Token.
Risk of an Illiquid Market for Cinema Token
There are currently no exchanges upon which Cinema Token might be resold and such
exchanges may never exist. If ever exchanges do develop, they will likely be relatively new and
subject to poorly- understood regulatory oversight. They may therefore be more exposed to
fraud and failure than established, regulated exchanges for other products.
Risk of Uninsured Losses
Unlike bank accounts or accounts at some other financial institutions, Cinema Tokens
associated with a Cinema Token account are uninsured. In the event of loss or loss of utility
value, there is no public insurer, such as the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or private
insurer, to ofer recourse to the purchaser.
Unanticipated Risks
Cryptographic tokens are a new and untested technology. In addition to the risks included in this
Risk Disclosure, there are other risks, including those that the Company 0cannot anticipate. Risks
may further materialize as unanticipated combinations or variations of the discussedrisks.

  • 3. Overview Dionysus Studio is the brainchild of a group of accomplished Hollywood moviemaking and finance professionals. We want to use Blockchain to open the inner workings of the Hollywood boardroom, enabling people from all walks of life to participate in the exciting world of entertainment production. Our goal is to bring Hollywood movies and network television shows onto the Dionysus platform so we can fund projects while they are still in the pre production phase. Before we explain how Cinema tokens and our funding platform work, we’ll cover how the Ethereum cryptocurrency and Blockchain work together to enable our investors to get in on the ground floor of financing the latest and most exciting Hollywood projects. The backbone of our idea is the Cinema token, a new form of cryptocurrency that will fund these projects or lead to other tokens created later for specific projects. The Cinema token is tradeable, just like Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum, on whose platform the Cinema token is built. The Cinema Token will allow Dionysus members to effectively be Virtual Producers on the Dionysus Platform. Before we explain how Cinema tokens and our funding platform work, we’ll cover how the Ethereum cryptocurrency and Blockchain work together to enable our investors to get in on the ground floor of financing the latest and most exciting Hollywood projects. 3white paper version1.0
  • 4. Cryptocurrency Overview Almost everyone has heard of Bitcoin, the first cryptocurrency. Bitcoin was introduced to the world in 2009. Bitcoin was invented by Satoshi Nakamoto, who described a new form of currency that uses cryptography to control its creation rather than agovernment. Bitcoin “mining” is the process of decoding the underlying algorithm to create more Bitcoin. Mining Bitcoin is a competitive and complex process, and requires highly specialized equipment and programming tools to make it profitable—or even possible. This extreme level of dificulty prevents just anyone from creating an unlimited number of Bitcoins, which would result in a rapid decrease in value. Bitcoins are bought and sold on exchanges, just like any “real” currency such as US dollars, Japanese yen or British pounds sterling. The exchange rate for Bitcoin can change based on demand. As of this writing, the exchange rate varies from about $3200 to $3600 US dollars to 1Bitcoin. One of the earliest Bitcoin transactions recorded was 10,000 Bitcoins for two Papa John’s pizzas. At today’s exchange rates, those two pizzas cost the buyer at least $23 million in lost growth. Since the introduction of Bitcoin, several other cryptocurrencies have been introduced. The most promising of these is the Ethereum Ether, which can be used to create tradeable digital tokens such as the Cinema token from Dionysus.Studio. 4white paper version1.0
  • 5. Advantages of Cryptocurrency Cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum Ether run on decentralized platforms known as blockchain. Blockchain is a shared global infrastructure that can move value between parties. The Ethereum blockchain has two groundbreaking capabilities: It keeps an encrypted perpetual record of every transaction performed anywhere in theworld. This perpetual record also tracks the ownership of all units of thecryptocurrency. Second, the blockchain technology supports the use of “smart contracts” which can be used to create markets, store records of debts or promises and move funds in accordance with instructions such as the terms of a contract. Because no single party has control over the records or transactions of cryptocurrency and blockchain, there is no capacity for nefarious parties to commit fraud. Applications on blockchain run exactly as programmed without any possibility of downtime, censorship, fraud or third-party interference. As a result, user data remains secure and private, but decentralized so it is not subject to corruption or single point failures. 5white paper version1.0
  • 6. Advantages of Cryptocurrency This unique combination of technologies enables Dionysus.Studio to attract studios and production houses, fund film and TV projects and receive royalties quickly, securely and privately. Tokenholders could participate in exciting Hollywood projects that would otherwise be closed to them by using Cinema tokens and the Ethereumblockchain. Cinema token owners may also have the opportunity to trade tokens for memorabilia or experiences associated with the movie or TV projects launched. This may include clothing or prop items that appeared onscreen or visits to selected production sets. Using Ethereum, companies like Dionysus.Studio can create tokens and contracts to fund projects and bring them to fruition. All of this is possible without requiring lawyers, centralized arbitrators, clearing houses or having to trust any party you don’t know. Presently, there are more than 92,000,000 ether in circulation. The daily trading volume averages about $1billion. 1Ether =$120 Ethereum is the second most valuable cryptocurrency available today, with a market cap of more than $12 billion dollars 6white paper version1.0

  • 11. Dionysus Studio’s Business Objectives We’re about democratizing Hollywood, and giving a platform for the people to crowdfund and support their favorite film and TV projects, without the lack of accountability and burdensome fees of traditional Now, even without the usual deep pockets of Hollywood moguls, millennials and cryptocurrency investors of any generation can have a seat at the table and help determine which worthy projects get the funding needed for production. The reins of financing entertainment projects have been held in the hands of a few executives in Hollywood and New York, but with Cinema tokens, anyone anywhere in the world can become part of the exciting world. Because the funding for new film and TV ventures has been controlled by a handful of network executives and the top streaming sites, the independent filmmaker with a smaller scale but potentially highly profitable project frequently gets overlooked in favor of Hollywood blockbusters and franchise projects. 11white paper version1.0
  • 12. How the Cinema Token Sale Works The official ICO will launch after the PRE-ICO phase ends. 1100MM total Cinema tokens will be available for sale for a period of up to 365 days. Any unsold tokens will be burned out of circulation Producers will have the first opportunity to purchase sub-project tokens. This would be the equivalent of a private presale in standard ICOs. Producers will be able to purchase at a discount below the amount that will eventually be sold to the public. A portion of profits made from projects will be used to purchase back Cinema tokens and remove them from circulation. After producers have the opportunity to purchase sub-project tokens, boardmembers and assistant producers will have their opportunity before the public does. The Cinema crowdsale will be divided into two segments. One sale occurring within the borders of the United States via a REG-D ofering and a simultaneous token ofering sale via the Bahamian Company Dionysus Cinema. Executive producers, who arelooking for funding can submit project proposals for film and television onto the Dionysus platform. The submission will createa sub-project token specifically toraise the capital needed for theproject. The private presale will endin approx. 65 days or when 300MM tokens are sold out. After that the PRE-ICO begins and it will last an additional 30 days. There will be 300MM tokens available in this phase. Dionysus will raise capital initially through the private sale of 300,000,000 Cinema tokens . The private sale will be the lowest possible entry price. 12white paper version1.0

Projects begin production. TBD TBD TBD TBD TBD Cinema tokens go on presale on TBD at dionysus.studio. There will be 300,000,000 Cinema tokens available in presale. The official launch date will be TBD The presale will end on TBD or when the 300,000,000 tokens have been sold. Anyunsold tokens will rollover to the pre ico crowdsale. Dionysus management will update the website with the exact number of tokens sold at the conclusion of the sale. After the sale Dionysus will seek to get the token listed for sale on major cryptocurrency exchanges. Announcements regarding the initially funded production projects will occur during TBD. The Dionysus team will publish regular updates on the success of film projects, potential token oferings and individual film projects. You can purchase tokens by transferring Ethereum Ether (ETH) to the address announced on dionysus.studio beginning on the day of the token sale. Note that the exact ETH price maychange based on the exchange rate of ETH to USD. The purchase ofCinema tokens is a smart contract supported by the Ethereum platform. 13white paper version1.0
  • 14. All Cinema tokens have been pre-mined and willbe issued according to the timeline in this table. 2 Billion additional Cinema Tokens will be locked in smart contracts and will only be released in two phases. 1 Billion when the price reaches $20 and the second when the price reaches $40. If fewer than 1,100,000,000 tokens are sold during the crowdsale phase, the remainder will be pulled out of circulation. After the initial sale period ends, Cinema tokens will be listed on various cryptocurrency exchanges. Cinema Tokens are built on Ethereum and use the ERC223 Token Standard Interface, ensuring the owners’ ability to trade them on any platform that allows ERC20 token trading.

  • 15. Unique Two Token Business Model Dionysus Studio will operate on two types of Tokens: Cinema Tokens and Project Tokens Cinema Tokens are provided to the public in a crowdsale. Possession of Cinema Tokens entitle token holders to various levels of control in deciding which projects receive funding. The highest level of token holder, Producers, are able to pitch their own ideas. Cinema Tokens are DEFLATIONARY and will be eliminated from circulationas they are used in some cases. Project Tokensare issued by the holders of Cinema Tokens when they have a project that they have greenlit. Project tokens act as securities, and entitle the holders to access a portion of the profits of the completed film.

  • 16. In recognition of the collaborative environment needed to create great films, Dionysus will build several platforms to allow interaction among our community members. Writer’s Guild will be a forum where writers will be able to post their screenplays/treatments/stories to the platform. In order for Virtual Producers to view the content posted to the Writer’s Guild, they must stake their tokens to the level of a Virtual Producer to open the area. Virtual Producers may negotiate with writers for the rights to produce their screenplay in Cinema tokens. Once negotiated, the parties enter into a smart contract where they will move to the next area the Virtual Producer Hall. Virtual Producer Hall will be a forum where Virtual Producers seek support from other Virtual Producers on projects they are trying to push through to the Boardroom. Virtual Producers have access to the Writer’s guild’s screenplays/stories/treatments so long at their tokens are staked at the required level. The Boardroom is the area where projects arrive to receive development phase funds. The development phase includes creating or refining the script, getting talent attached and figuring out the exact budget needed. The development phase funds may come from various sources. • Development Phase Buckets • Direct Investment • Investment by the platform itself. Development Phase Buckets are special funds created for the specific purpose of developing projects coming to the platform. Development phase buckets can be partially funded by the platform itself or by the Dionysus community. The buckets are created to mitigate overall risk since projects are considered very risky at this stage. Only certain projects make it to the bucket. These are selected by an internal algorithm. Projects within a development bucket may have 100% of their development phase funded or partially funded. For partially funded projects the balance of the development must come from either direct investment or by the platform itself. Dionysus Platform 16white paper version1.0
  • 17. Direct Investment – this fund is created so the community can directly invest in developing a specific project. These investors are paid back once the money is raised covering the entire necessary budget. Platform Investment – On select projects, the platform itself may invest into the film’s development phase. These investors are paid back once the money is raised covering the entire necessary budget. Development Phase – Once the funds are secured in the boardroom phase, the development phase begins. This is when the Dionysus team begins using its resources to develop the project with a professionally written script that is ready for production, determine the budget, find attachments and if possible get LOI for distribution. Main Stage - Once projects complete and come out of the development phase they are ready to proceed to the Main Stage. Project Tokens are created and are held in escrow via Smart Contracts for the different parties involved. The tokens would essentially represent the parties prorate equity share of the project. Those parties include the party that submitted the original story, the virtual producers, the development phase funders, the production team and the public investors. The project tokens that are available for sale to the public are the tokens allocated for investors. The revenue generated from the sale of project tokens would need to equal the budget of the film. Once this amount is raised, the development phase funders are reimbursed and the project goes to the production phase. Production Phase – The production will be handled by preapproved production teams. Initially the productions will be hand selected by the Dionysus platform. As the platform grows, production teams would need to stake Cinema tokens in order to be considered as options for producing Dionysus content. Dionysus Platforms 17white paper version1.0

  • 19. The Dionysus Studio Ecosystem Bulletin Board Writers submit screenplays The Dionysus project life cycle begins with the writer’s guild members called “Storytellers” posting their stories for a fee to a special bulletin board that virtual producers may only view. Storytellers must join the Writer’s guild area in order to participate in the platform. VIrtual Producers Virtual Producers need to stake Cinema tokens to view the screenplays/treatment/stories posted to the bulletin board area by the Storytellers. Virtual Producers may make an offer in Cinema tokens for the rights to produce the screenplay. The Cinema Tokens will be sent to a smart contract and then converted to USD and deposited into the storytellers’s account to abide by the Writer’s guild rules. Once a deal is made a smart contract will be created to reflect the terms of the offer. The smart contract is called a Project Smart Contract and it will be the base smart contract that will receive all the funding to produce the project and will also ultimately be the contract that receives the proceeds from the box ofice. CINEMA TOKENS TO USD PROJECT SMART CONTRACT CREATED DEAL BULLETIN BOARD VIRTUAL PRODUCER BOARD MEMBER VIRTUAL PRODUCER HALL Virtual producers that have a project smart contract will need to gain the support of 5 other virtual producers. Other virtual producers commit to the project by staking their Cinema tokens into the project’s smart contract. Once enough support is received the project is moved to the next area called the Boardroom for development funding. The next step will be the boardroom for development funding. 19white paper version1.0
  • 20. BOARDROOM BOARD MEMBER Once in the Boardroom, the project will need to raise the development phase funds via various funding vehicles available. The funding vehicles available are development phase buckets, direct investment and platform investment. Virtual Producers need to collaborate to create a social medial strategy to draw attention to their project. Getting the development phase funds is required in order to move the project to the development phase and then onto the Main Stage. Main Stage (funding platform) MAIN STAGE The main stage is the area where projects can get funded by the public. Projects will essentially each have their own ICO. Each project will have its own project token and will be disbursed between the original storyteller, the Virtual Producers, the development phase funders, the Production Company, the investors and the Dionysus platform. The token has multiple utilities. First and foremost, the token will represent a share of interest in the project. These project tokens, at the discretion of the Dionysus platform, may give special offers in exchange for the them. Dionysus may get creative in their offers and offer things like tickets to the screening of the film, merchandise, autographs and evenonset visitation during filming. Once funding is reached.Dionysus will return the development phase capital along with initial return of investment promised. The project will move towards the production phase.

This data will be provided free of charge to virtual producers on the platform. Individuals who are not at an Virtual Producer or higher status of CinemaToken holding can purchase access to this data via a subscription fee payable in Cinema Tokens. This data is invaluable to screenwriters and other creatives who wish to target their work to particular markets, or who wish to know what topics are exciting to moviegoers at the moment. Dionysus’ proprietary machine learning algorithms leverage neural networks and Random Forest decision trees to optimally identify trends in movie funding, allowing those in our network to have their finger on the pulse of the movie funding community. We have already developed Machine Learning techniques using two layer feed-forward Artificial Neural Networks (shown below) similar to those used by Netflix and Amazon to accurately identify these funding trends.

  • 27. Glossary 27white paper version1.0 Cinema Tokens: The tokens ofered by Dionysus Studios in the ICO/STO crowdsale. Cinema Token holders will exercise power over which projects are approved by Dionysus Studios. They can also pitch their own ideas to the Dionysus community and to Dionysus investors. Project Tokens: Tokens issued on a per project basis for films that have been approved by Dionysus Studios. These tokens act as securities for the people funding the film, and entitle their holders to a share of the profits of the film. Boardroom: The area where projects are looking to raise funds for the development phase. The boardroom is where the virtual producers meet and direct the public towards funds that will help get the development funds their project needs. Main Stage: A platform that allows investors to purchase Project Tokens in films being produced by DionysusStudios. Maria’s List: A portal for advertising open positions on films being produced by Dionysus Studios. It acts like an “Angie’s List” for Dionysus films. Writer’s Guild: An area of the Guild Board where storytellers’s must join in order to post to the bulletin board area. This area is where the lifecycle of a project begins. TakeTwo Exchange: A digital exchange for ProjectTokens. Dionysus Connect: A social network for members of the Dionysus creative community, attracting screenwriters, performing talent, directors,etc. Virtual Producers are Cinema token holders that help move the project forward through the Dionysus platform.

The production company may be the Dionysus platform or it may be a third party hired for the job.
  • 28. Risk of Losing Accessto Cinema Token Due to Loss of Credentials The purchaser’s Cinema Token may be associated with a Cinema Token account until it is distributed to the purchaser. The Cinema Token account can only be accessed with login credentials selected by the purchaser. The loss of these credentials will result in the loss of Cinema Token. Loss of credentials associated with any third party and or digital wallet containing and or controlling Cinema Token will result in loss ofCinema Token. Best practices dictate that purchasers safely store credentials in one or more backup locations geographically separated from the working location. Risk Associated with the Ethereum Protocol Cinema Token and the Cinema Token network are based on the Ethereum protocol. As such, any malfunction, unintended function or unexpected functioning of the Ethereum protocol maycause the Cinema Token network or Cinema Token to malfunction or function in an unexpected or unintended manner. Risk Associated with Purchaser Credentials Ether, the native unit of account of the Ethereum Protocol, may itself lose value, which could have a negative impact on the functioning of the Cinema Token network. More information about the Ethereum protocol is available at http://www.ethereum.org. Any third party that gains access to the purchaser’s login credentials or private keys may be able to dispose of or misappropriate the purchaser’s Cinema Token. To minimize this risk, the purchaser should guard against unauthorized access to their electronicdevices. Risk of lack of adoption or use of the Cinema token Network While Cinema Token should not be viewed as an investment, it may potentially (but likely will not) have utility value over time. That value may be limited or nonexistent if the Cinema Token network lacks use and adoption. Risk of Dissolution of the Cinema token project It is possible that, due to any number of reasons, including, without limitation, an unfavorable fluctuation in the value of Ether (or other cryptographic and fiat currencies), decrease in the utility value of Cinema Token, the failure of business relationships, or competing intellectual property claims, the Cinema Token network may no longer be a viable business and the Company may dissolve or the Cinema Token network may fail to launch.

  • 29. Risk of Unfavorable Regulatory Action in One �or More Jurisdictions Blockchain technologies have been the subject of scrutiny by various regulatory bodies around the world. The functioning of the Cinema Token network and Cinema Token could be impacted by one or more regulatory inquiries or actions, including, but not limited to, restrictions on the use or possession of digital tokens like Cinema Token, which could impede or limit the development of the Cinema Token network. Funding film and TV projects is a core business of the Company, have been, and will likely continue to be, the subject of scrutiny by various regulatory bodies around the world. The legal ability for the Company to operate the Cinema Token network in some or all jurisdictions could be eliminated by future regulation or legal actions. In the event that it is not legal for the Cinema Token network to operate in a jurisdiction, the Company will cease operations in that jurisdiction. There is a serious risk that the Company will be unable to operate if regulation makes it dificult to do so. Risk of Alternative, unoficial Cinema token Networks Following the sale and the development of the initial version of the Cinema Token platform and Cinema Token network, it is possible that alternative networks could be established, which utilize the same open source code and open source protocol underlying the Cinema Token network. The oficial Cinema Token network may compete with these alternative, unoficial Cinema Token-based networks, which could potentially negatively impact the Cinema Token network and CinemaToken. Risk of Weakness or exploitable breakthrough in the Field of Cryptography Advances in cryptography, or technical advances such as the development of quantum computers, could present risks to cryptographic tokens and the Cinema Token platform, which could result in the theft or loss of Cinema Token. Risk of an unfavorable fluctuation of Ethereum Ether (“ETH”) and other currency value The Company team intends to use the proceeds of the Cinema Token sale to fund development of the Cinema Token network. The proceeds of the Cinema Token sale will be denominated in 12 ETH, and converted into other cryptographic and fiat currencies. If the value of ETH or other currencies fluctuates unfavorably during or after the sale, the Company team may not be able to fund development, or may not be able to develop the Cinema Token network in the manner that it intended or promised.

  • 30. Risk Disclosure for Cinema Token Crowdsale Last Updated February 1,2018 Risk of Insuficient Interest in the Cinema token or distributed Applications It is possible that the Cinema token will not be used by a large number of businesses, individuals, and other organizations and that there will be limited public interest in the creation and development of distributed applications. Such a lack of interest could impact the development of the Cinema Token network and therefore the potential uses or utility of Cinema Token. Risk that the Cinema Token Network, As Developed, Will not meet the expectations of the Purchaser The Cinema Token network is presently under development and may undergo significant changes before release. Any expectations regarding the form and functionality of Cinema Token or the Cinema Token network held by the purchaser may not be met upon release for any number of reasons, including a change in the design and implementation plans and execution of the Cinema Token network. Risk of Theft and Hacking Hackers or other groups or organizations may attempt to interfere with the Cinema Token network orthel availability of Cinema Token in any number of ways, including, but not limited to, denial of service attacks, Sybil attacks, spoofing, smurfing, malware attacks, or consensus-based attacks. Risk of Security Weaknesses in the Cinema Token Network Core Infrastructure Software The Cinema Token network consists of open-source software that is itself based on open-source software. There is a risk that the Company team or other third parties may intentionally or unintentionally introduce weaknesses or bugs into the core infrastructural elements of the Cinema Token network interfering with the use of or causing the loss of Cinema Token. Risk of an Illiquid Market for Cinema Token There are currently no exchanges upon which Cinema Token might be resold and such exchanges may never exist. If ever exchanges do develop, they will likely be relatively new and subject to poorly- understood regulatory oversight. They may therefore be more exposed to fraud and failure than established, regulated exchanges for other products. Risk of Uninsured Losses Unlike bank accounts or accounts at some other financial institutions, Cinema Tokens associated with a Cinema Token account are uninsured. In the event of loss or loss of utility value, there is no public insurer, such as the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or private insurer, to ofer recourse to the purchaser. Unanticipated Risks Cryptographic tokens are a new and untested technology. In addition to the risks included in this Risk Disclosure, there are other risks, including those that the Company 0cannot anticipate. Risks may further materialize as unanticipated combinations or variations of the discussedrisks. 30white paper version1.0
