## Story

AMC launched YEAH! at SXSW in March 2013 as a movie-rental service focused on classic genre films. Movies included interactive extras such as interviews, trivia, and quizzes that appeared inside the player without obscuring the film.
I owned the frontend architecture and integrated Brightcove for streaming, chapter navigation, and editorial tooling, alongside Facebook identity and sharing features. Working with a five-engineer frontend team, we connected the film experience to hundreds of interactive elements per title.

## Achievements

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