Filmhero is a self-distribution platform that allows Independent Filmmakers to monetize their films while advocating a social impact and interactive dialogue between filmmakers and film lovers.

The users of our platform can help support the filmmakers and support the cause by streaming, licensing, downloading and hosting screenings for Independent Films.

Problem

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.

Challenges

We have a very small team and 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 and needs to be redefined more clearly. Therefore, I am trying to lead and restructure the team to keep everyone on their toes and make sure we stay on top of things.

Design Approach

We prioritized the business requirements into categories with the consensus from our team. We delegated the task among our small design team and developed iterations after iterations until we received our result all done within a month.

I came up with the design approach for filmmaker and admin dashboard through analyzing other dashboards and approaching mine design a little bit differently and technical looking.
