DUNKIRK, Md. – May 7, 2025 – Phictly, an app and platform for book, film, and culture-lovers, today announced that it is launching a Kickstarter campaign to fund the completion of its technology. Phictly came into existence based on the experiences of its founders, who shared a common love of storytelling and a desire to create clubs based on one book, movie, or TV show.
Phictly founders tapped into their creative efforts, designing a platform that facilitates a more engaging online book club experience. “Our premise is that people want to gather online to discuss a particular title that they are excited about right now,” explained Nyleena Aiken, co-founder of Phictly. “We thought, ‘Perhaps we are not alone in joining a book club and finding that it has been ghosted or is no longer true to its original topic of interest?’ That was the birth of Phictly. We are at the threshold of an exciting new chapter where people connect through stories, the stories they love, and create a quality community.”
Phictly also promises to fill a gap in many people’s online lives. Aiken added, “Today’s fast-paced world makes it challenging to find genuine connections with people who love the same things. Books, films, and the emotions they evoke, bring us together in ways nothing else can.”
When people plan to dive into their next book or movie, the Phictly platform helps them create a club based on that single title, transforming their love for stories into an engaging, social experience. As users log into Phictly, they choose a book, movie, or show. Next, they select the pace or timeline for the club. Then, they select preferences and tags, finally inviting friends or other Phictly users to join in on the fun.
“No more ghosted discussions, unfocused themes, or oversized clubs where your voice gets lost,” said Aiken. “Say goodbye to burnout and boredom. We chose Kickstarter because it is an innovative destination hub, where people interested in everything new and unique look for products that meet their needs.”
