In addition, the site also has the basic functions of a social network where the user can meet new people and make new friends.

It was founded by Alisson Patrício and Thais Lima, and it was launched on April 1, 2009.

[1] Filmow allows all users, whether registered or not, to access any title information from the website database, making it a free for research, where anyone can seek information (cast, trailers, posters, reviews...), but only those who register the site can set up a profile and enjoy all the social functions.

[2] Furthermore, users can also share their opinions about the movies, series and novels through assessments on each title's own page.

The project started very small, without foreign investment, and the work done in their spare time, with all the programming done by Alisson, but when the site began to grow they called their friend Wanderson Niquini to join the project with them and help in spreading the website.
