An afternoon, a public calendar, and no backend

Pineapple with film-strip leaves and a green cocktail — open-air cinema artwork

Warsaw runs a free open-air summer cinema festival every year — 120-plus screenings across 20 parks, all season. There was no easy way to check what was showing tonight, near you, from a phone. So I built one.

It pulls the festival's public calendar feed, matches every film to its poster and details automatically, and answers one question: what's playing, where, tonight.

The idea took shape on a walk with the dogs, thinking it through out loud with Gemini. That conversation became the brief I handed to Claude Fable 5, running on the small AI setup I've put together for myself out here. By evening it was live.

No team, no sprint, no client brief. Just an afternoon, pointed at something worth fixing. That's most of what this studio is, these days.

If you're building something similar and want a second pair of hands, or just want to see how far an afternoon like this can go, I'd like to hear about it.
