INDY wasn’t born in a boardroom—it was built by people who have lived and breathed the cinema industry. Before INDY, the cinema software solution, it started as a services company, led by Ian and Carmen Brown, helping cinemas streamline operations and maximize efficiency. But across countless conversations with operators, one frustration kept coming up: the software they relied on was outdated, rigid, and simply not built with their needs in mind.

At the same time, Keith Walker, a software engineer, had made an unexpected career move—he bought his hometown cinema. Excited to bring new life to the theater, he quickly ran into the same roadblock: the available software wasn’t up to the task. Managing showtimes, ticketing, F&B, and day-to-day operations was harder than it needed to be, and workarounds had become the norm.

When Ian, Carmen, and Keith crossed paths, they realized they had the same vision: cinemas needed a better solution. So in 2020, INDY evolved—from a services company into a modern, cloud-based operating system designed specifically for cinemas. By 2021, the first clients went live, and INDY quickly became the backbone of theaters worldwide.

Today, INDY is more than just software—it’s a platform built by people who truly understand the business of running a cinema, and it continues to evolve to meet the ever-changing needs of the industry.
