Inside ICUNI

Find your crew. Make films that travel.

ICUNI is a cinematic-first directory for actors and filmmakers, backed by one shared dataset so the community stays transparent and easy to maintain. Discovery, a playful weekly voting game, and a card-deck project tool all live together to help you assemble a lineup, define ambition, and notify the right creatives without turning the platform into another bloated production database.

Philosophy

Sheets as the single source of truth, cinematic UI instead of corporate tables, and keyboard-first navigation so it feels more like a control surface than a website.

Focus

London-first talent discovery, a weekly film-versus-film game for playful engagement, and a one-time project request tool that sends concise briefs to selected creatives.

Data Model

Single-source library

Profiles, project requests, and weekly voting pairs all pull from one canonical feed. The UI stays honest by showing missing-shot states whenever data is absent instead of inventing placeholders.

Interaction Model

HUD-style navigation

ESC unwinds UI layers back to home, A/D and W/S map to page and section traversal, and sliders plus scrollbars are styled for a luxury, cinematic feel. No emojis—only precise icons.
