Original Soundtrack: SATOSHI “Awakened Dreams” – Play on Udio

Logline: In the face of economic turmoil and personal adversity, a visionary group of friends embarks on a revolutionary journey to create Bitcoin, a decentralized digital currency that promises to restore financial freedom and trust.

Synopsis: Satoshi is a compelling coming-of-age story that chronicles the early efforts of a trio of visionaries behind Bitcoin. Set against the backdrop of Brazil’s financial crisis in the 1990s, young Alex witnesses the devastating impact of the government’s confiscation of his family’s savings. Determined to find a better way, he moves to Europe to study computer science, where he meets Emma and Chris, who share his drive for innovation.

In London, the group grapples with the challenges of transferring money overseas and the exorbitant fees that come with it. Through their university studies and insightful conversations, they become fascinated by the potential of decentralized systems and the Byzantine Generals’ Problem. Guided by a mentor who inspires them to think beyond traditional financial structures, the trio starts to envision a new form of currency that doesn’t rely on banks.

Amidst personal struggles and a profound mistrust of centralized institutions, their innovative spirit drives them to develop Bitcoin. With a blend of cryptographic principles and the proof of work concept, they create a secure, transparent, and decentralized digital currency. The film culminates with the trio collaboratively writing the final lines of the Bitcoin whitepaper, poised to launch a financial revolution that will change the world forever.

“Satoshi: The Creation of Bitcoin” captures the relentless pursuit of innovation, the quest for financial autonomy, and the indomitable spirit of a group who dared to challenge the status quo.

Behind the Story and Scenes

“Satoshi – The Creation of Bitcoin” is an AI-made, fictitious story inspired by true events

Creating the story of “SATOSHI” was deeply rooted in the unique cultural and historical backdrop of Brazil. Home to the largest Japanese community outside Japan—a migration that began in 1908—Japanese Brazilians are an integral part of our society. The 1990 confiscation of savings and massive inflation in Brazil created the perfect story world for Bitcoin’s early principles. The narrative explores themes of emigration, financial struggle, and innovation. Some speculate that the timing of Satoshi Nakamoto’s messages suggests he might have been in Europe, inspiring the idea of Satoshi as a group of friends experiencing a coming-of-age moment through the creation of Bitcoin. This leads to its launch following the financial crisis of 2008, on a quest for financial freedom and trust.

Creating “SATOSHI” with AI was a good all-rounder of the most popular tools in AI filmmaking out there. With endless possibilities comes the challenge of making decisions. It’s easy to get lost in a multitude of cool stuff. The state of flow is real, with an overflow to posters and behind the scenes stills.

Tools Used: The film is fully AI-generated, utilizing Midjourney for image generation, Runway and Adobe After Effects for animation, Eleven Labs for voice synthesis, Runway and Pika for lip-syncing, Udio for music composition, Photoshop Generative Fill for image retouching, and Adobe Premiere for editing.
