Tribeca Shortlist is a premium SVOD service from Lionsgate Entertainment and Tribeca Films. In contrast to other services, Tribeca Shortlist offers a smaller catalog of movies handpicked by actors, filmmakers and other industry insiders.

10 Songs

04 Share. Listen. Enjoy.
Concept, Art Direction, Visual Design, UX

10 Songs is a simple concept based on fond memories of making cassette mixtapes for friends. Nowadays, it's hard to capture that same spirit. I started thinking about what a modern day equivalent could look like and 10 Songs came about as a way to make sharing music meaningful again.

Currently in development.
