The CineWorld Film Festival is an annual event held by Sarasota Film Society. This 501(c)3 organization promotes education and the art of cinema. Their annual celebration of film has grown each year and required a more efficient means of selling tickets.
 

The Challenge:

The issue with this particular project is that the SFS had an existing and proprietary website that did not allow for easy expansion. In addition, ticket transactions for over 20 films at two separate locations, showing over 7 days at various times, needed to not only be available for sale online but also integrate seamlessly with their Point of Sales System.

Tickets were also required to be available for sale at two different pricing fees - one price for society members and another price for non-members.

Our Solution:

Rooks Advertising  decided that the best solution for the Sarasota Film Society was to create an open source sales system written in PHP. The benefit of moving away from Cold Fusion was two fold - First, it cut down on hosting costs and second, it allows for a system that can be more easily worked with for future development.

The Result:

After implementing this new online ordering system, the client saw record online sales.
