As the tech sponsors for the 2010 and 2011 New York Asian Film Fests, we designed and built their iPhone app. It serves as a digital festival guide, with a complete schedule of events which can be bookmarked or shared. Additionally, Caravan added features to connect the audience to the social media resources for NYAFF and Subway Cinema, the team behind the fest. The app serves their blog and twitter feed, lets users interact with the fest directly, and subscribe to their newsletter.

Though there was little existing architecture, the app needed to support film and venue information that was constantly being updated and allow the organizers to promote specific films on the fly. We devised a lightweight content updating webservice, which constantly provided the app with new content and purchasing information. Additionally, special screenings and events with featured guests could be flagged remotely and highlighted in the app.

For the 2011 update, Caravan reskinned the app to promote the new year's films and venues. It also received the high-res treatment and our standard maintenance and support.
