What's next →New films premiere on PREVO every Thursday, year-round. No off-season. Every one screened by a person before it lands.
Under every film there is a comment box. Tell the filmmaker what worked and what didn't – in Hollywood that's called giving notes. We pass the best ones straight to the director.
Each month, the films you watch and talk about most earn a full review in The Weekend Read, a video from us, and a place in PREVO Signal – our briefing to development executives and producers. Your notes decide who gets seen.

Each season, PREVO runs a film competition. The Summer Showcase — our most open competition yet — accepts short films of any genre from filmmakers at every level, including documentaries. Accepted films are added to the platform and put to a subscriber vote across five categories: Best Picture, Acting, Cinematography, Writing, and Music. Live tallies are visible in real time. The top-voted films in each category advance to a panel of entertainment industry professionals for final judging, with winners announced at a livestreamed awards ceremony. This summer's voting opens Sunday, July 26.
Sunday, July 26. Showcase selections are premiering on the platform now, and when voting opens, every subscriber gets a ballot – with an all-new voting experience on the way.

Email your film (or a private link) to submissions@prevostreaming.com along with a short logline and any posters or stills you have. PREVO accepts submissions from filmmakers of all backgrounds year-round — Summer Showcase submissions closed July 20, but general catalogue submissions are always open. We screen every film before it goes live and follow up within seven days.
Short films, almost exclusively — indie and student work that's been screened before it premieres here. Most submissions come through film festivals, which means the catalogue skews toward films that have already been recognized somewhere. You'll find drama, documentary, experimental work, and everything in between. If it's good and it fits, it's on PREVO.
