And as TV Tracker and Variety Insight, we built the film and television industry’s largest database of film and television metadata. In 2022, Luminate was created to fulfill the vision to be entertainment’s preeminent data and insights company, unleashing access to the most essential, objective and trustworthy information across music, film and television.Who we areOur work isn’t just powerful — it’s prescient.
