Why I built it

I found information about NAZA scattered across cinemas, festivals, distributors, ticketing pages, press releases and social-media posts. People interested in the film kept asking where they could see it, while new screenings were appearing country by country.

Rather than wait for a central resource to appear, I built one.

The goal was practical: create a live, continuously updated global screening schedule that could gather fragmented information in one place, verify it as carefully as possible, and make it useful to audiences around the world.

Simplified overview of the AI-assisted workflow I built using ChatGPT and Notion to maintain the live global screening schedule.

The workflow

I maintain the schedule through a largely automated workflow built around ChatGPT and Notion, with my review and verification before I publish information.

1. Discovery – screening leads are found through web research, cinema and festival listings, distributor announcements, press coverage, alerts, social media, and submissions from viewers.
2. Verification – leads are checked against the strongest available source, with preference for official cinema, festival, distributor and ticketing pages. Conflicts, missing details and uncertain dates are marked TBC rather than presented as confirmed.
3. Structuring – ChatGPT helps turn scattered source material into a consistent country-by-country format, normalize dates and locations, identify missing information, and flag items that need further checking.
4. Publishing – verified information is added to the Notion master schedule, which serves as the live public page you are reading.
5. Continuous updating – as screenings are added, changed, sold out, postponed or clarified, the schedule is revised so that the public version remains current.
6. Audience feedback – viewers can surface new screenings, corrections and missing information, which are treated as research leads and checked before publication.

What is automated, and what is not

Automation helps me with research organization, comparison, formatting, consistency and speed. It does not replace my judgment. I do not add screening information blindly from an automated feed. When sources disagree or a venue has not published enough detail, I say so in the schedule.

That is why I use labels such as TBC, include links to source pages, and add notes asking readers to confirm directly with a venue before travelling.

Why this matters

I created this project independently; it was not commissioned by the filmmakers, distributors or any cinema. I built it to fill an information gap around a film whose international reach, public interest and subject matter made a centralized resource useful.
