Cinemated
No One Understands Your Movie Taste Better Than Us
Tech: Flutter · TensorFlow · MySQL · Firebase
Find movies that actually match your mood
Cinemated learns your taste and serves watchlists you will actually finish.
The Problem
Streaming platforms push the same trending titles to everyone. Genre filters are too broad and ignore what people actually love about a film. Recommendation engines often repeat the same actors or franchises, creating decision fatigue. Users want suggestions that feel tailored to their vibe in the moment.
The Solution
Cinemated lets movie fans build a taste profile and get mood-aware lists so they can pick a film quickly and feel confident it fits the night.
Target Audience
Movie lovers who've experienced the ultimate defeat: scrolling through endless options only to give up and watch TikTok. They want recommendations that feel personal, not algorithmic. For the people tired of decision fatigue, and now want a service that understands "I want something like my favorite film, but for tonight's specific vibe."
Market Opportunity
Streaming options keep expanding, and so does choice paralysis. Personalized discovery is now a key differentiator for media platforms. A standalone companion app can serve cross-platform viewers who want smarter picks than any single service provides.

Engineering Reflection
If starting over, I’d add evaluation metrics early to compare recommendation quality across cohorts. I’d also separate taste vectors from UI preferences so tuning the model doesn’t break personalization features.
