01
The challenge
Movie sites are usually data tables with posters. I wanted Cinenest to feel like cinema itself — full-bleed art, staged transitions, and a browsing flow that feels like flipping through a collection rather than filtering a database.
02
What I built
Dynamic routing per film, GSAP-driven page transitions, live search over the TMDB catalog and a bespoke visual system. Deployed on Vercel and open to explore — hit the Visit button.
