For Filmmakers Summer 2026

Summer Showcase

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.

See what it looks like: the Spring 2026 awards show, the winners, and the full nominee slate.

Read Receipts · Vol. One

When a Twenty-Year-Old Topped the Box Office

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

Phillip Botello in Casting Dad

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

A Hopeful Weekend in Hollywood

Two filmmakers in their twenties just outgrossed a franchise giant. Ryder McNeal on why that is even better news for independent film.

For Filmmakers

Your film deserves more than a festival weekend.

Most shorts vanish when the festival run ends. On PREVO they get a permanent home and an audience that keeps showing up.

  • A premiere, with your name and cast tagged to your network
  • Editorial coverage – The Weekend Read, First Frame, Close Up
  • A competition judged by people who can actually hire you
  • You keep the right to sell your film directly yourself
