The director, Zach Ingrasci, has expressed his excitement for the project. His vision for the film is to make Ethereum more accessible and understandable for the world.

“By highlighting diverse stories from the global network of developers, founders, and end-users, we can create an emotional and human record of Ethereum’s journey. From the inspiring Axie Infinity gamers in the Philippines supporting their families during COVID to the tireless developers making Proof of Stake possible, there already is a bountiful garden to explore.” – Zach Ingrasci, Director, Ethereum: The Infinite Garden
