Enter the Summer ShowcaseFor Filmmakers Summer 2026
For the first time, the Showcase opens to filmmakers everywhere – every genre, students and professionals alike, documentaries included. Our earlier competitions were student-only; this is our first open call at real scale.
Subscribers vote the finalists through. From there, films go to industry judges – the agents, producers, and executives who can actually move a career. Spring's panel came from UTA, HarperCollins Productions, and Media Talent Group.

Read Receipts · Vol. One
Our new column reads the weekend's numbers closely – a record-breaking opening from a director barely out of his teens, and the lesson it holds for every independent filmmaker.
Close Up · Vol. Two
A struggling actor auditions strangers to replace the father he just lost – Wes Clark's riff on Miike's Audition. Botello refuses to let a loud premise upstage him.
Editor's Note
Two filmmakers in their twenties just outgrossed a franchise giant. Ryder McNeal on why that is even better news for independent film.
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.

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.
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 — the Summer Showcase has a July 5 deadline, 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.
