The method
We don't average stars.
We read the film.
A score of 7.8 tells you nothing about whether you'll like it. So we don't use one. A human scores every film across twelve continuous axes of its actual character, then derives a colour palette from its cinematography. That fingerprint is what we match — film to film, and person to person.

Founding room preview
Not a dead catalog.
A room with signals.
This is the activity layer we will show as members log films: watches, taste matches, comments, tonight picks, and small reactions that make the service feel inhabited without turning it into noise.
Preview profiles are synthetic examples. Real room activity replaces them as the community opens.

The ritual
Friday, 9pm, no idea what to watch. We do.
One tap on Tonight reads your DNA, your mood, and the time you've got — and hands you one film. Not fifty. One you'll actually press play on.
Pick my film for tonight →Questions
How is this different from Letterboxd or IMDb?+
They log and average what crowds think. We read each film’s character on twelve axes by hand, so we can match a film — and a person — to your actual taste, not a 7.8.
What is "Movie DNA"?+
A continuous 12-axis profile (mood, pacing, weirdness, hope, stakes, humour, reality, density, warmth, auteur, intensity, era) hand-scored for 28,340+ films and computed for you from film-page choices and calibration ratings.
How does matching with people work?+
Your DNA is a vector. So is everyone else’s. We find nearby taste twins, show where you align, show the disagreements worth talking about, and suggest a shared film to start with.
Is it free?+
Yes. While we build the room, tracking, watchlists, calibration, tonight picks, and people discovery are free.
Do I need an account to start?+
No. Start on a film page by marking Seen it, Want to watch, or Not for me. We save that locally first, then ask for a magic link when you want to keep your profile.
Your movie log should
do more than remember.
Mark one film. Build a real taste signal. Let every next choice make your picks less generic.
