Build Movie-Centric OTT Platform

I’m setting up a dedicated OTT service that streams movies only, with a catalogue that leans heavily toward comedy and action titles. The project’s first phase is to get a solid, scalable MVP online that covers the core user journey end-to-end:

• Secure user authentication (email, social log-in, password reset, token refresh)
• Fast, intuitive search that can filter by genre, title, actor or release year

Everything should be cloud-ready, mobile-responsive and built with modularity in mind so I can bolt on extras such as a recommendation engine later without a full rebuild. A clean, modern UI, adaptive bitrate streaming and a lightweight admin panel for uploading new films and managing metadata are all expected as part of the baseline.

Code quality matters—well-commented, with clear setup instructions and a short video walkthrough of the deployment process so hand-off is smooth. If you’ve launched similar movie platforms before, I’d love to see a quick demo link in your proposal.
