Project Overview

Dolphin Boy is an Iranian animated feature film that tells an emotional and adventurous story set beneath the sea. A Turkish media company acquired the rights to distribute the film in Turkish cinemas and needed a high-quality, informative website to introduce the film to local audiences and cinema networks.

I was responsible for developing a custom WordPress website to showcase the film’s synopsis, characters, visuals, and promotional materials. The goal was to create a responsive, visually engaging platform that reflects the movie’s emotional depth and appeal to both kids and families.

Color schemes and typography reflect the undersea world and the magical theme of the movie.

Film Synopsis

Dolphin Boy tells the story of a baby who, after surviving a plane crash, is raised by dolphins. Believing he is one of them, he eventually discovers that he is human and begins a journey to find his real mother. Along the way, he encounters secrets from the past, battles a sinister octopus with plans to dominate the sea, and uncovers the truth about his family and their connection to a mysterious underwater formula. Supported by his dolphin brother and new human allies, Dolphin Boy learns the power of love, family, and courage.

Outcome

The website played a key role in the film’s promotion across Turkish cinemas, offering an official online presence for audiences and cinema partners to explore. It successfully delivered a professional image of the film while maintaining a whimsical, child-friendly interface. The custom WordPress backend enabled the team to update screening times, media assets, and news as needed.

Let’s build something powerful together.
