Case Study: The JESUS Film Project reaches millions and boosts viewer engagement with Brightcove Video Cloud

Brightcove Helps Bring The JESUS Film Project® to Millions Via the Internet

The JESUS Film Project distributes JESUS, a two-hour docudrama based on Luke that has been translated into over 1,000 languages and shown worldwide since 1979. Facing a shift from decades of physical media to making online video its primary distribution channel, the organization needed a simple, robust solution to reach a global audience with varying technical limitations and to gain better viewership analytics.

By adopting the Brightcove Video Cloud platform, The JESUS Film Project simplified multi-platform distribution, improved reliability and performance, and gained more accurate viewer metrics. As a result engagement rose sharply—over 10% of online viewers watched an hour or more without interruption—and the project now averages about 46,438 monthly views from 182 countries, with fewer technical support requests.
