THE CHALLENGE
With Hollywood dominating the film industry on a global scale, it's no surprise that watching international content is primarily access driven which depends on personal streaming platform access. Additionally, through our research, we found that availability and awareness of international content is shaped by word of mouth, social media, and streaming platform recommendations, watching patterns influence how international content is surfaced which means, watching less international content can lead to less exposure and lastly, international content is often lumped together and buried within streaming platforms with minimal relevant filtering options.
Taking the above findings into consideration for our target users--which consist of people living in the U.S. who are interested in international film and TV, we created a solution which address increasing awareness and exposure to international content, lowering barriers to finding and accessing international content, and promote sharing and social engagement among the users.
