Project Overview
Beamafilm is the most popular ad-free movie streaming service in Australasia, developed by curating high-quality, award-winning feature films, indie movies, documentaries, and television shows aimed at educating and inspiring audiences rather than entertaining them. Unlike other conventional movie streaming services, Beamafilm operates on a library partnership business model that allows its more than 20 million public and university library users to view the entire collection using their library membership cards. Non-library members have access to the movies through a 30-day free trial and a $7.99 per month subscription package.
Accessible through mobile devices, TV, and browser interfaces, the platform also has separate applications for iOS, Android, Apple TV, and Chromecast for large-screen viewing. Apart from the basic streaming service, Beamafilm has several specialized tools for institutions like citation options, clips, audio transcripts, link sharing, and statistics to help manage their collection. There is a separate Beamakids+ section that allows parents to monitor what kids watch. The catalog includes more than 2,000 movies and documentaries from around the world with a significant Australasian focus and serves as the ideal streaming platform for discerning movie fans.

Project Challenges
- Most of the movie streaming platforms stream movies with commercial breaks or advertisements and pop-ups. The team needs to build an ad-free, distraction-free, and uninterrupted premium film streaming platform.
- Independent films that are made domestically are more difficult to find than mainstream content. The team needs a solution to help users find relevant films that are handpicked or specially selected.
- It is difficult to deliver a consistent streaming experience across devices, TVs, smartphones, tablets, and desktop devices by handling various screen sizes and network conditions. The team needs a platform where users can watch the content smoothly across devices.
- Beamafilm offers users to access and stream content using memberships provided by libraries or educational institutions. The team needs a solution to integrate library authentication systems to ensure secure verification and specific content access permissions.
- To maintain and synchronize user data such as favorites, watch history, video clips, and citations across multiple devices, the team needs a solution to enable users to interact with content beyond simply watching it.
- Most streaming platform which provides thousands of movies and episodes in the catalogue fail to optimize content discovery and streaming performance. The team needs a platform that should grow along with the volume of content without affecting the users’ streaming experience.
