Hi.

I wanted to write some slick, punchy pitch about why Cinemacoon is exactly what YOU need, so everyone would be amazed and pay me immediately — but that turned out to be pretty hard.

First, I'm terrible at marketing.

Second, Cinemacoon was never meant to please some particular target audience.

It's always been a personal project, an embodiment of my vision for a harmonious way to explore world cinema. And it mostly rests on three turtles:

• comprehensive statistical coverage, because everyone loves ratings and lists, right? RIGHT??
• access to subtitles, the best way to experience cinema exactly as it was meant to be seen.
• a beautiful, convenient space that ties the first two together.

Honestly, for a long time there was only the first one, living in various spreadsheets I'd been keeping since the 2000s. But by the time I decided to make a website in 2022, I was already deep into translation work. And later, my friend and designer Alex sailed in on the third turtle.

There might be more of them someday. The project keeps growing, and I hope it keeps growing further. If you want to be part of that — follow along on Boosty and Telegram, send feedback and suggestions, or just send good vibes, or whatever.
