What if watching a film didn’t have to be a solo experience?
That’s the question behind WatchRoom—a new platform aiming to redefine how audiences engage with films in the digital age. Founded by Praise Ordu, WatchRoom is launching its first-ever live premiere with It’s Over, marking the beginning of a new kind of shared cinematic experience.
Instead of passive streaming, WatchRoom introduces a live, synchronized viewing environment where audiences from different locations can watch the same film at the same time—reacting, engaging, and feeling every moment together in real time.
The debut film, It’s Over, is a deeply emotional romance/drama starring Aarya Babbar and Rayya Labib. Set over one intense evening, the story follows a couple navigating the painful unraveling of their relationship—moving from denial to confrontation, and ultimately, acceptance. It’s a story that resonates universally, exploring the question: how do you let go of someone who once meant everything?
But beyond the film itself, this premiere is an experiment.
Can digital audiences reconnect with the feeling of watching together?
Can creators build deeper, more direct relationships with their fans?
Can live, shared experiences become the future of online cinema?
WatchRoom is betting on “yes.”
By combining live premieres, real-time audience interaction, and direct monetization, the platform offers filmmakers a new way to distribute their work—one that prioritizes connection, community, and shared emotion over isolated consumption.
This first premiere is just the beginning.
If successful, it could signal a shift from passive streaming to collective digital experiences—where distance no longer limits how stories are felt.
For Praise Ordu, this isn’t just a product launch—it’s a proof of concept.
A test of whether audiences are ready to return to something we’ve quietly lost in the streaming era:
the feeling of experiencing a story together.
