Template Details
This repository is a minimal WordPress theme built around a fictional movie/series blog site. The theme uses custom post types to manage news articles and reviews (films or series) separately, making it suitable for a film and TV site structure centered on content categorization.
The template layer relies on the WordPress plugin Timber and uses the Twig template engine to organize views; for styling, gulp compiles Sass into plain CSS, with livereload configured for automatic refresh during development.
The project README states that the theme is not currently deployed, and the screenshots provided in the repository (homepage, review page, category archive, tag archive, author archive) come from a local preview. The repository was created in 2017 and is licensed under MIT.

License & source material
Usage conditions & limitations
Free to use · keep license noticeThis entry covers the free version under the MIT license in the public repository; the free scope applies to that version's code and does not imply that external services or third-party assets are free.
Must comply with when using
- You may use, modify, commercialize, and distribute this version's code for free.
- When distributing copies or substantial portions of the code, retain the original author's copyright notice and the full MIT license notice.
- The code is provided as is; warranties and limitations of liability are governed by the original license and applicable law.
Additional costs & items to verify
- Demo images, fonts, icons, and other third-party assets must be checked under their respective licenses; the code's MIT license alone cannot be used to judge them.
- External services such as domains, hosting, databases, payments, or AI may incur additional fees.
- The theme must rely on the third-party WordPress plugin Timber to render Twig views; you must install and activate the plugin yourself before use, otherwise the theme will not work properly.
- Styles require compiling Sass to CSS via gulp and livereload is configured, so a Node/gulp build environment and execution of the compilation process are required before use.
- The project is not yet deployed; the screenshots in the repository are only a local preview and do not mean it can be used directly in a production environment.
