Artcab
Project Overview
ArtCab is a breakthrough web application in the ecosystem of film development and film production. ArtCab simplifies the complex process of collaboration and crew-building in the process of filmmaking by enabling filmmakers to have access to the widest range of talent pool around them. Through fluent ideation and effortless networking, ArtCab tries to enhance both the quantity and quality of film production amongst those who care less about film reception and more about film-making. The platform hosts filmmakers from all specializations and is the most convenient networking tool ever built for independent filmmakers. With ArtCab, independent filmmaking shall never be the same again.
The Task
