Moana takes on water, Evil Dead Burn opens soft, and the weekend's only overperformer is the one original in the field – plus what it means for filmmakers.
For Filmmakers
Most shorts vanish when the festival run ends. On PREVO they get a permanent home and an audience that keeps showing up.
I feel lucky to have Laid Bare placed next to so many bold, unique films from new creative voices. The PREVO team have curated and supported some serious emerging talent.

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.

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.
