Social-first movie streaming platform development

Our team partnered with the client to design and develop a convenient, stylish, and social-first platform that allows users to watch and share movies across devices — from TVs to laptops. More than just a streaming tool, the platform was built to connect film lovers and empower creators to showcase their work.

The platform blends entertainment with community. Users can follow friends, create watchlists, recommend films, and even watch movies together — creating shared experiences in real time. Filmmakers also gain a dedicated space to distribute their work and engage with audiences directly.

We kicked off the project with desk research to understand streaming behavior, user expectations, and social media habits. The insights shaped an interface that feels intuitive, warm, and familiar — focusing on interaction, connection, and seamless playback across platforms.

Our designers crafted a cohesive UI and interaction system tailored for both casual viewers and indie creators. Illustrators contributed custom visuals to give the platform personality, while our developers ensured smooth performance across web and smart devices.

The final result is a visually rich, socially-driven platform that makes watching content more engaging — whether you're alone or watching together from afar.
