Film Festival Jury Screening Portal Development for Billings

A private jury screening needs to preserve which film edition a reviewer saw and how their notes relate to it. Replacing a film asset should not silently change that review context. We help Billings, Montana festival teams connect approved media, individual juror work and organizer access rules in a maintained screening portal.

Our Inspire Film work, recorded in Spain, combines adaptive playback, captions, live screening rooms and member features. It provides relevant streaming-platform evidence. Jury assignments, private notes and film-edition review would be new requirements. Curiosive accelerates implementation with AI under engineer review and remains a long-term product partner as festival operations and the screening product evolve.

Identify the screening edition before collecting review notes

Start with approved assets and the film records the festival team maintains. Decide when a submitted asset becomes a screening edition and what a later replacement means for existing reviews. A title alone may not identify the version a juror watched. Keep that reference visible wherever notes are saved or reviewed. The festival owns its media approvals, jury process and evaluation criteria; the portal implements those agreed relationships.

Relevant work: Inspire Film streaming and member experiences

The published Inspire Film case describes a React and TypeScript platform on Supabase and PostgreSQL. Bunny Stream provides adaptive film and course playback with captions, while LiveKit supports live screenings and events. Memberships, Stripe checkout, administration and guided experiences connect to the platform. The project is recorded in Spain. This demonstrates maintained video and member workflows; jury assignments, private review notes and edition-specific festival decisions would be separately scoped for Billings.

Define individual notes and organizer review separately

Agree which notes belong to a juror and which actions make them available to the intended organizer or panel. A saved draft, a submitted review and a festival decision have different meanings. Review a juror assigned to only part of the program and an assignment that later expires. If scoring or panel comparison belongs in the product, define those festival-owned rules explicitly. An asset replacement should follow an agreed policy for earlier notes instead of silently moving them to another edition.

Review private access and playback recovery together

Assess supported devices, browsers and approved caption assets alongside the viewing-access model. Define what an unauthorized or expired assignment shows at the screening destination. Review an unavailable video and interrupted playback while a juror is drafting a note. AI accelerates familiar interfaces and integration work; engineers review edition references, account boundaries and saved-state recovery. Any specialized content-protection or watermarking requirement needs its own implementation assessment and acceptance criteria.

Review juror notes after an approved film asset is replaced

For a new engagement, bring approved film assets, screening editions and juror and organizer roles. Proposed acceptance examples: notes identify the edition reviewed; a replacement film follows the agreed revision rule; only an authorized juror reaches the intended private screening; and an unavailable asset has a clear recovery state. Include an expired viewing assignment and a saved note during playback interruption. These are proposed jury-portal checks, not claims about historical Inspire Film jury tools, festival decisions or content-protection guarantees.

A product partner through the next festival cycle

Juror questions and organizer feedback reveal where assignments, playback and review tools need improvement. We work through a shared backlog with agreed acceptance examples and reviewed releases. Monthly AI-accelerated development starts from $2,000, with scope, capacity and operating responsibilities agreed in writing. Curiosive LLC collaborates remotely with Billings teams through agreed Mountain-time review windows, with engineering led from Ankara. The partnership continues as the festival develops its screening and review product across future programs.

Questions

The things people ask before starting.

Can you build a private jury screening portal for a Billings festival?

Yes. Bring approved media, screening editions and juror and organizer roles so we can scope viewing and review together.

Does Inspire Film include festival jury review tools?

Its Spain-recorded case covers adaptive playback, captions, live screenings and member features. Jury assignments and private review notes would be new work.

Can notes remain attached to the film edition actually reviewed?

That can be an agreed requirement. We define edition identities, replacement rules and how organizers interpret earlier notes.

Can you maintain the portal for later festival programs?

Yes. Continuing work can cover playback feedback, assignment changes and organizer tools through a shared backlog.
