Watch

New films premiere on PREVO every Thursday, year-round. No off-season. Every one screened by a person before it lands.

02

Leave your notes

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.

03

Get them seen

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.

Questions

Things peopleask us.

Anything we missed? Email submissions@prevostreaming.com and a real person will write back.

What do I get for $5.99 a month?

All of it. 150+ short films streaming right now, new films premiering every Thursday, and no ads anywhere. You also get weekly issues of The Weekend Read, our digital magazine covering the best (and occasionally weirdest) stories coming out of entertainment; a vote in every seasonal competition we run; the ability to leave Notes on any film, the best of which we pass along to the team behind it; and access to our original productions, including our Behind the Scenes interview series. The first seven days are free.

What kind of films are on PREVO?

We screen every film before it reaches the catalogue, which means that if you see a film on PREVO, it is here for a reason. No festival record of any kind is required, and it has no bearing on whether a film is accepted, but the vast majority of our films have already screened at festivals and found a loving, in-person audience. Our goal is to make sure they keep generating the love they deserve.

How often do new films show up?

New films premiere every Thursday, year-round. Sometimes that is one film, sometimes it is five or more. The number changes. The standard does not.

How long are the films?

Most of the catalogue runs between five and fifteen minutes, but we have no runtime requirements of any kind. We even have a handful of features and series on the platform.

What are Notes?

In Hollywood, when a producer gives feedback on a film, that process is called giving notes. You can do exactly that on PREVO, and we pass the best ones along to the teams behind the films.

In practice, it looks like leaving a comment in the box underneath any film. Notes is just our term for it. Your feedback can be positive or negative, and as specific or as general as you like. All we ask is that you keep it respectful.

Why do I have to be a subscriber to vote?

Every competitive element of PREVO is designed with one intention in mind: to make sure films and their filmmakers walk away with real evidence behind them. It is why we only select some films for competition. It is why the winners are chosen by juries made up of people who work in Hollywood and watch films get greenlit every day. And it is why you have to pay to vote.

Anyone can generate thousands of flimsy votes with no real weight behind them. By limiting voting to paying subscribers, we make sure every vote cast comes from someone who can watch all of the competing films, and who is invested in the outcome, even if that investment is only the price of their subscription.

What is The Weekend Read?

Our weekly digital magazine, covering the most interesting, weirdest, and most dramatic stories coming out of Hollywood. Depending on the issue, any given week might cover the latest at the box office, the behind-the-scenes story of how a lost Orson Welles film was painstakingly reconstructed, or a guest column from a director.

Whatever the issue, the goal is always the same: give you something you can take with you, whether that is to the set of your next film or to a dinner party.

What is PREVO Signal?

Our invite-only monthly newsletter, sent to development executives and producers across Hollywood, highlighting the most engaged-with and most promising films on PREVO that month. Think you should be included? Email us.

Can I watch on my phone or TV?

You can download the PREVO app on iOS or Android for full, unabridged access to everything available on the web. TV apps are coming soon. One note: a handful of features, competition voting included, are restricted to web at the moment.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. No hoops and no fees. The first seven days are free, so you can decide whether PREVO is worth it before you are charged anything.

Who is behind PREVO?

PREVO was founded by Ryder McNeal and Colt Waller, both of whom went to film school and watched it happen up close: classmates and peers made incredible short films, saw real success and won awards on the festival circuit, and then watched those same award-winning films end up sitting on a hard drive with nowhere to go once the festival run was over. They founded PREVO to solve that problem.

I made a film. How do I get it on PREVO?

Fill out our submissions form. It takes about two minutes and it is completely free. PREVO does not charge filmmakers to submit, and we do not charge them if we accept the film either.
