FilmHero Dashboard
FilmHero is an Indie Film Platform for Independent Filmmakers
to showcase their film on the FilmHero platform
My Role
I supported the team in graphic/visual designs, UX/UI as well as supporting the team in Social Networking events.
The Backstory
FilmHero was started by movie gurus and enthusiasts, especially in indie films. FilmHero is a platform built for independent filmmakers so they can monetize their films while advocating for social impact and change through an interactive dialogue between filmmakers and film enthusiasts.
The users of our platform can help support the filmmakers and support the cause by streaming, licensing, downloading, and hosting screenings for Independent Films.
The Challenge
-
Traditionally, most independent films were screened exclusively at film festivals around the world, but filmmakers weren’t earning enough money for their work. Approximately 60,000 Indie films are produced each year worldwide. The films were only seen by a fraction of potential audiences.
-
We have a very small team with a tight deadline, which created a lot of constraints with the amount of work that had to be done to deliver the designs and implementations of the product design. Because we have a small team, sometimes the team structure gets a little bit lost, and information needs to be redefined more clearly.
-
One of the main challenges we faced was that there were not very many Indie Filmmakers who received a lot of traction for their films, and that was always the question of whether or not their film would be able to reach a larger audience.
-
These questions arose during our research:
-
Will film lovers appreciate Indie Films?
-
Will film lovers pay money to watch it on the FilmHero platform?
-
Will film lovers pay per film on the FilmHero platform, or will they pay for a monthly or yearly subscription?
