HMNTY Studios needed a way to put paid film work in front of San Diego creatives. We built the platform over a single weekend: three connected portals, an AI matching engine, real accounts, live on their own domain. A first group of real creatives and businesses signed up the day it went live.
HMNTY Studios is a nonprofit film studio in San Diego. They had the problem every creative industry has: the work exists, the people exist, and the two find each other through whoever happens to know whoever. HMNTY wanted a system that surfaces real, paid work to real creatives without reducing anyone to a line item.
The constraint was the interesting part. This could not be a prototype with fake data in it. It had to be a working product, on their domain, with real people signing up, by the end of the weekend.
Live on HMNTY's own domain with real creatives and real businesses on it. It went from an empty repository to a populated, working platform in under two days, and then straight into the hands of HMNTY's own developers with a written runbook and a full audit of what to build next.
This is the fastest thing the studio has ever shipped, and the clearest answer to what "and the software behind it" actually means.
