Case Study: Seattle Int'l Film Festival – How to Tame a Filmgoer's Everest
For avid filmgoers, the Seattle International Film Festival is the Everest of events. With nearly 500 screenings in three weeks, just reading the guide is a challenge – to say nothing of actually figuring out which films will fit in your schedule.
In 2001, Evolution Workshop took this challenge on, creating a spec database that offered all the information available in the festival catalog along with photos, trailers and order forms – all in a searchable, sortable, digital format that allowed users to rank films; compare their choices in color-coded calendars; select screenings and ticket quantities; print schedules, membership forms and ticket orders; and email their selections to friends.
The result was a user-friendly, stand-alone application that could be downloaded from the web or distributed in cafes, brewpubs and mailers. A few sample screenshots are below – click for larger images.
