YEAH! launched at SXSW in March 2013 as AMC's streaming movie rental service at YEAHTV.com, built around classic genre films with hundreds of in-player extras (interviews, facts, quizzes) shown without covering the movie. Facebook login was required, and I owned the frontend architecture while we headed toward launch.

I integrated Facebook for identity and sharing and Brightcove for streaming, chapter playback, and back-office editing. Each title carried 400+ interactive elements, and five frontend engineers sat between AMC's creative team and the backend so the film and the extras could share one player surface.

Achievements

  1. Designed and built the frontend architecture for an interactive movie player.
  2. Integrated Brightcove for streaming, chapter playback, and back-office editing.
  3. Implemented Facebook API features for identity, sharing, and in-player content.
