SVOD SERVICE

Docsville

A documentary-focused SVOD service with innovative discovery features.

About Docsville

The documentary streaming service, Docsville, is the brainchild of award-winning journalist and former editor of the BBC’s Storyville, Nick Fraser and producer Lawrence Elman. Their vision was to create an immersive experience for the documentary community that hero quality content over quantity. Each month, Docsville users can dive into a curated, themed selection of feature documentaries alongside articles, short content and daily Pop Ups.

Challenge

Docsville approached Magine Pro seeking a partner that could offer exceptional tech solutions and more; they required an experienced company that could help grow their business and young brand. And in addition, they sought a partner who could bring to life their vision for a documentary-focused VOD streaming service, one that offered innovative solutions that ultimately enhanced the user experience and eased the discovery of great content.
