The company
Film, television and publishing.
James Notaris founded Sovereign Truth Media to bring the 2008 financial crisis and the rise of Bitcoin to the screen and the page. An attorney and CPA, he worked in finance throughout that period, and the company's work reflects that experience.
The company owns its projects outright, with no co-financiers, liens or third-party approval rights. Buyers and distributors work with a single rights holder.
Current slate
The Bitcoin Rebellion
2008 destroyed confidence in banks. 2009 built their replacement. The Bitcoin Rebellion tells the full eighteen-year history of Bitcoin as a feature film, a television series and a novel.
Television series
All ten Season One scripts are complete and production-ready. The season runs from the 2008 collapse to Wall Street's adoption of Bitcoin.

Novel
A 120,000-word novel with 169 footnotes. It serves as the source material for the film and series, and its footnotes document the history behind the story.

Approach
Independent development
The company develops its projects internally, which keeps creative decisions with the people closest to the material.
Full ownership
Sovereign Truth Media holds all rights to its work, which simplifies licensing, distribution and acquisition.
Factual foundation
Each project starts from the public record. Composite institutions stand in for real banks, and the novel's footnotes cite the sources.

His story is an insider’s account of how a small group of rebels, misfits, and engineers didn’t just predict the future of money. They built it.
