Case Study: New Day Films builds a modern streaming and e-commerce platform with Kalamuna

New Day Films modernizes streaming for 100+ co-op members with Kalamuna

New Day Films, a filmmaker-owned cooperative distributing educational documentaries, faced the challenge of modernizing its outdated DVD-based website to compete in the streaming era. Their complex business model required a platform capable of handling sophisticated licensing, various streaming durations, and access control for institutions. Kalamuna was engaged to build a unified solution that could consolidate content management and e-commerce.

Kalamuna designed and developed a bespoke Drupal platform with a sophisticated streaming and authentication system. The solution provided a modern, accessible user experience with both light and dark modes, enhanced content discovery, and gave filmmakers their own dashboards for analytics and promotions. The new site streamlined operations, reduced hosting costs, and provided the technical foundation needed for New Day Films to successfully compete with major educational distributors.
