Mediact is a transmedia studio working at the intersection of film, technology, and storytelling. We develop original content, build cinematic brand campaigns, and create scalable digital experiences. We’re building our new website — and we want it to feel less like a website, and more like a film. We’re looking for a developer who’s excited about that challenge. THE OPPORTUNITY Build something you’ll actually want in your portfolio. This isn’t a template job. You’ll be building a high‑end, interaction‑driven site from scratch — working directly alongside our designer to bring a cinematic vision to life.

The kind of work that stands out in a portfolio — not just another landing page. Key Responsibilities Responsive website — built from provided designs across desktop, tablet, and mobile Cinematic page transitions — smooth fades and dissolves, not standard navigation Custom interactive cursor — inspired by the Mediact pen‑nib logo mark Scroll-based animations — elements that reveal and respond as you move through the page Video & rich media integration — performant loading, high visual impact Hover states and micro‑interactions — the details that make a site feel premium SKILLS WE’R LOOKING FOR You don’t need to know everything — but these matter. Strong foundation in the following: React or similar framework GSAP or animation libraries Scroll-based animation (e.g. ScrollTrigger) Responsive layout / mobile‑first thinking Attention to timing and motion detail Nice to have (not required) Smooth scroll libraries (e.g. Lenis) Performance optimization for media heavy sites Interest in film, design, or interactive storytelling Experience with Webflow or headless CMS WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR A builder who cares about craft.
