CastTrack

A filmography app for prestige TV and film fans who follow specific actors across their careers — surfacing every upcoming project, where to stream their work, and 'if you loved this, try this' recommendations grounded in that actor's pattern.

Target user

Prestige TV and film fans who follow specific actors (Jon Bernthal, Viola Davis, etc.) across their careers

Features
  • Track list of actors with auto-updated project news, release dates, and where-to-watch links
  • Cross-service streaming availability that shows which platform has their back catalog today
  • Career-pattern recommendations like 'you watched Punisher, here are five other Bernthal-tier performances'
  • Cast reunion alerts when actors from a show you watched reunite in a new project
Why now

Jon Bernthal's The Bottoms is in active development at FX a decade after the original film; streaming fragmentation makes actor filmographies hard to track, and prestige-TV fans are increasingly following stars rather than shows.

Monetization
4/10

Letterboxd Pro proves cinephiles will pay ~$19/yr for advanced features and ad removal, but KinoTrack gives the same core value free, making paid differentiation hard for a late entrant.Paid subscriptions • LetterboxdKinoTrack — Track Films. Follow People. Discover More.

Longevity
5/10

Streaming fragmentation and star-driven prestige TV are durable, multi-year tailwinds; downside is that streaming-availability data is licensed (JustWatch API) and can shift, while fandom-of-actors trends are cyclical.JustWatch & Reelgood Alternatives for Letterboxd UsersLetterboxd: Revenue, Worth, Valuation & Competitors 2026

Feasibility
6/10

KinoTrack is built on TMDB (free) plus their own trailer/notification layer, so the MVP is clearly buildable; the hard part is licensing reliable streaming-availability data and building a recommendation graph that beats Letterboxd's.KinoTrack — Track Films. Follow People. Discover More.
