Norm joins prestigious team on a premium NFT documentary that will uniquely navigate back in time to the origins of NFTs and progress to the current day thrill of the space! This project will bring widespread attention to the NFT community, which in turn will translate to mainstream adoption! This film has a phenomenal creative team led by the prestigious director, Bill Guttentag, who has won two Oscars and three Emmy awards for his previous films. Bill has directed eight films for HBO and is also a Professor at Stanford University’s Business School.  In addition, the top entertainment management company, Anonymous Content is representing the project.

This project will disrupt the financial revenue model for documentary films by creating NFTs.  We will implore several techniques including working with crypto native artists to create limited edition NFTs which will then be auctioned off.  We will also NFT special “moments” from the film and sell them. We will provide utility for the NFTs by giving behind-the-scenes footage as well as a director’s cut version to the highest bidders.

Voice AI developed bleeding edge voice technology that allows for real-time voice cloning and real-time voice changing allowing any voice actor the ability to sound like a specific voice ‘source’, effectively creating speech that’s indistinguishable from the original source speaker.

Norm will be introducing Voice AI to his relationships in Hollywood for live-action as well as animated TV and Film productions, as well as to top game developers.

Voice AI technology allows an actors’ voice (source voice) to be cloned and then anyone, in any language can then speak or sing using that same ‘source’ voice, with all of the natural inflection, intonation and emotion not possible with TTS.

This allows for many incredible advances including localization of TV and Film where a voice actor in another country, can speak and sound like the ‘source’ voice, in their native language!

In animation and game development, you can use one ‘source’ voice for each character and then any voice talent can read the script and sound like the source voice!

By the way, yes, I did say that this is all done in real-time! There is no other current tech stack that can do this breakthrough voice conversion in real-time!

Swaye has built a plug-in for streaming music services that allow fans to amplify their relationship with their favorite artists by buying actual stock in those artists!  Swaye handles fan-funded music with fan profit-sharing in a most unique, eloquent and seamless manner. 

By buying stock in artists, fans automatically become VIP members of an exclusive club with artists they love, enabling member-only perks such as live steaming concerts, limited availability clothes, the first showing of pre-released recordings and videos, amongst a host of other benefits. 

Norm is introducing Swaye for Music to music streaming platforms, iconic and established artists as well as independent artists, and is getting tremendous reception for this mechanism to turn millions of non-paying subscribers into paying fans!

Norm joins a perfectly balanced Team of legendary creative storytellers and seasoned blockchain technologists.

From Norm’s introduction and belief that this would be a “Match Made in Orthopedic Health Heaven”, the acclaimed Hospital for Special Surgery signs Letter of Intent (LOI) for close collaboration between HSS and Sports Engineering! Congratulations to both Teams!  We are on a mutual mission with the intent to collaborate in research, development, and commercialization efforts related to sports safety and injury reduction.

Sports Engineering’s purpose is to transform performance footwear by shaping, redistributing, and managing horizontal shear and rotational force.  Our patented technology limits the horizontal shear forces within the foundation of the shoe, to improve performance and protect the athlete. Chronic injury may result from overuse and fatigue resulting in poor or changing biomechanics. We believe a byproduct of our SmartSpring suite will help to reduce fatigue and allow consistent biomechanics, thereby mitigating ankle and knee injuries.

Rock & Roll Fantasy Camp was founded by legendary agent turned producer and promoter, David Fishof over 20 years ago. 

The Rock & Roll Fantasy Camp is an interactive musical event, that takes place in various locations worldwide involving various Rock Stars on various dates.
