A community app identifying emotional triggers in movies

Movies are the best, but unfortunately there are a lot of movies that contain scenes some of us would rather not see. ReelCalm is a community based app designed to identify those harmful triggers in movies, so that those with past trauma can watch in peace.

Welcome to ReelCalm! ReelCalm is an idea I've had for quite some time. While watching a movie with my partner, we had to turn the movie off after a very disturbing scene that left her quite shaken. After conversations related to this event with other friends, I realized this was a very regular occurrence with a lot of people. The normal warnings we get at the beginning of movies are just not sufficient, so I set out to create a community of movie lovers who wish to help out others by expanding on the normal warnings, and adding more specific trigger warnings, so that you can be prepared when going into any movie night. This is also the first app I've designed and built myself, after spending 2020 learning iOS development. I hope you like it!

@theseanfarrell I was a front-line jungle fighter in Vietnam and Cambodia. Triggers are a serious problem. I wish you luck.

Thanks Al. I can't imagine what your experience must have been like, and I hope there are more and more tools at your disposal to combat the mental stress caused by that experience

This is cool! I'm really interested in both sides of this (movies & the intersection with anxiety/trauma). Great idea... Maybe an area to consider is growing into could be crowdsourcing desirable or more affirming moments in films? Sorta the "come watch this" side of the equation? I often want to find movies to watch that make me feel a certain way, but the Netflix suggestions/categories just don't really do it for me... Totally random, but (because I dig movies a lot too) I've been working on blog of movie sketches on the side during 2020 and am going to move it to instagram in a few weeks. I'm actually super bad a social, so if anyone is interested in taking an early peek or offering feedback... let me know! 1st official post on the new insta will be Feb 2nd and celebrating "Groundhog Day"... the first steps a doozy! Nice work!
