The transaction and record-keeping process for movie contracts was extremely antiquated. Microsoft Excel, and even hand-written notes created by cinema staff, were often used. The approach to editing movie contracts terms, balancing financials, and monitoring contracts were simply not efficient.

I worked remotely and onsite in Chatsworth, California with the Product Team and stakeholders from Decurion, including the:

Working very closely with the VP of Systems Strategy during the iterative process to audit the product requirements, and ensure that the film contracting process was completely heuristic, I designed several variations of the UI that aligned all aspects of the movie contract process, allowing users to easily create, edit, share and monitor those financial records. During the two-week sprint, it was an interesting challenge to learn about the intricacies of the movie contract "renting" process. Before this project, I knew nothing about what goes on behind the scenes of the movie cinema business. This was a crash course.

Users of the app can customize the way they view relevant information based on various sorting and filter options. Sorting movies by whether they are playing in cinemas or not, for example, allows users to view the status of movie contracts, forecast contract terms, and adjust contract terms based on ticket sales.

A cinema cannot play a movie in its theaters if a movie contract hasn't been created. The screen (below) shows and example for when this occurs.

The screen (above) displays the movie contract terms over the first four weeks of a movie actively playing in theaters, and allows the user to edit and/or settle the contract with the respective major motion picture studio.
