Case Study: Christian Cinema achieves 24–48 hour film uploads and global cloud delivery with Aspera

Powering the aggregation of Christian movies on a custom VOD platform

Christian Cinema, founded in 1999 and now home to the largest selection of faith-affirming films online, moved thousands of DVD titles to a custom, cloud-based VOD platform. To do this it needed a fast, secure and easy-to-use way for filmmakers and distributors to send large files (commonly 8–12 GB) over the WAN—traditional FTP and shipping drives were too slow, unreliable and cumbersome.

Christian Cinema integrated Aspera On Demand and the Aspera SDK into its content management system, using Aspera’s FASP protocol and browser plugin to enable high‑speed, secure uploads from anywhere. As a result filmmakers can submit, encode, set pricing and have titles live on the site within 24–48 hours, with enterprise-grade encryption and reliable transfers that scale globally.
