The Challenge
The Gotham Film & Media Institute, one of America's oldest and most respected independent filmmakers' organizations, has been a cornerstone of the film community for decades—providing support, education, and resources to creators at every stage of their careers.
Over many years, The Gotham's digital operations grew organically into a large, interwoven network of custom-built, legacy applications. Developed primarily by a solo technical lead, these systems accumulated significant technical debt: aging codebases became difficult to maintain, security vulnerabilities emerged, and integrations between core services grew increasingly fragile.
As member needs evolved and expectations for seamless digital experiences rose, The Gotham faced urgent technical hurdles - ranging from unstable payment processing to slow, error-prone user interfaces. Without strategic modernization, the risks of downtime and data loss threatened their ability to serve their community.

Through a tightly collaborative partnership, we stabilized key systems, reduced risks, and supported ongoing operations during critical event cycles.
