VionLabs presents the winners of their first Film & TV Hackathon!

After 48 hours of hacking a unanimous jury named the team behind “Movie Lingo” victorious.

When the members of the jury gathered they found a clear winner among the contestants:

“MoviLingo merges two areas – learning a language and film/TV – that are incredibly influential in our day-to-day lives. They have captured an existing behaviour and developed it into a digital tool – in a simple, fun and useful way. Members of the jury see a huge global potential in the idea and the service; not only for consumers, but also for business to business. There is a need to develop the business model for the service, but the idea itself of helping people learn a language by watching their favourite film or TV show is brilliant. It combines commercial values with real human needs, which in turn creates social values for individuals, society and companies”, says Anders Bjers, Chairman of the jury. Movie Lingo is Günay Mert Karadogan, Gustav Westling and Victor Guerrero.
