It features comprehensive databases for films, actors, and genres, allowing users to explore trending titles, search for favorites, and dive deep into cast filmographies—all wrapped in a fully responsive, custom-styled interface.

Access to thousands of movies and TV shows with detailed metadata, including ratings, release dates, and plot summaries sourced via API.
Robust search functionality allows users to find specific titles, while genre-based filtering helps discover new content based on mood.
Dedicated pages for actors and directors (People Page) displaying biographies and known-for credits, linking the entire cinematic universe.
The primary challenge was managing the vast amount of data from the API and presenting it in a visually consistent manner without relying on CSS frameworks. Maintaining responsive grid layouts for movie posters across different screen sizes using only custom CSS required precise media query management.
MovieLoom honed my skills in vanilla CSS layout techniques (Flexbox & Grid) and interacting with complex third-party REST APIs. It demonstrated the importance of component reusability when building content-heavy applications.
