Haitian films have won awards in recent years, but basic information about them is hard to come by, which keeps audiences small. Coogan and Vargas Zuleta describe the multilingual website they built in response, Kreyol gade, kreyol konprann, whose name plays on the proverb Kreyol pale, kreyol konprann, a phrase that signals both belonging and the language barriers running through and around Haitian communities.

The site catalogues films with synopses and details such as director, language, and where a title can be found. It adds a blog of reviews and interviews, a bibliography gathering sources in various formats and languages, and an invitation to collaborate.

Kreyol, French, Spanish, and English speakers can all use it. Reaching people in the Caribbean mattered to the designers, so graphics and typography were kept spare for places with slow connections. The audience imagined is film enthusiasts, researchers, and anyone curious about the industry.
