About me
Jonny Zeller is a film director, entrepreneur, and storyverse architect.
And while it’s difficult to describe his work within the confines of a single genre, the soul of his vision, and more importantly the way he brings them to life, does have a common thread: 360 storytelling. If there’s a tale to be told, he’s already thinking of how to tell it through video, photo, NFTs, out-of-home, Snap/IG/FB/TikTok, experiential activations... and whatever’s coming out the day after tomorrow.

Cloud Niners

February 2022 - January 2023 (11 months)
NFT COLLECTION + STORYVERSE + LIMITED EDITION BRAND COLLAB DROPS
NFT Collection
Cloud Niners is a Web3 brand that takes shape as a collection of 5,555 generative 3D animated NFT jets wrapped in a story driven cinematic universe with a dash of marketing in the form of branded collaborations. The ever-growing community driven/immersive storyline takes holders on a mysterious digital and IRL journey with hidden unlockable rewards including unforgettable experiences, and brand partner discounts. Don’t worry, you can keep your favorite PFP right where it is and park the high-resolution animated Cloud Niners artwork proudly as your banner image. Now your PFP has a private jet…
Narrative Storyline
Our narrative follows the evolutionary tale of Satoshi Nakamoto’s 2nd or 3rd (we don’t really know) Cousin, an eccentric billionaire whose life’s purpose is that of helping others find their own feeling of Cloud Nine (well- being, happiness, excitement). More than a traditional NFT, Cloud Niners is a multi-platform expedition released through NFTs, videos, photos, cryptic clues, and much more.
Limited Edition Collaborations
The first “season” acts as a brand-safe (with a bit of an edge) platform. Companies, artists, and influencers can participate in the Cloud Niners universe without the massive costs associated with launching their own collection. Collaborations add utility for NFT holders and allow companies to authentically connect with audiences.
