Case Study: Sundance Institute achieves real-time management of 50,000 festival photos with Reach Engine

Sundance Institute - Customer Case Study

Levels Beyond’s Reach Engine platform was selected by Sundance Institute to solve a major content challenge: the Institute needed to process and distribute nearly 50,000 photos generated during the 10-day Sundance Film Festival, replacing a fully manual ingest workflow and supporting real-time delivery across multiple devices and media.

In just five weeks Reach Engine’s rules-based workflow was deployed to import, transcode, package, deliver, archive and embed metadata into photos in real time, add search and permissions controls, and generate a tagged, aggregated archive for future use. The result was faster, more accurate operations that turned a passive photo archive into a live promotional and production tool, with plans underway to extend the solution to the Institute’s video assets.
