Free Money

2023 | Feature film, Full length feature | Director: Rain Rannu

When the bank refuses your loan application what do you do? Would a lottery ticket be helpful or instead a few thousand Bitcoin that were floating around in your tech box ten years ago? Story about crypto, investing and everything in between.

Part satire, part fast-paced comedy, part drama — loosely based on the real-life events during the crypto and investment craze of the last few years where every taxi driver is an investment expert, money has no price and everything can only go in one direction — up. But what happens when the crisis hits?
