PREVO'S MISSION
PREVO was founded with a singular mission in mind: provide a home for great indie films and provide a connection between film enthusiasts and creators alike.
Before PREVO, most independent and student films ended their festival circuit by sitting on a hard drive forgotten.
Our platform aims to change this forever by giving filmmakers the chance to let their films continue to generate buzz long after their festival runs, and by giving audiences a curated selection of the greatest independent and student films in the world.
Who We Are
Ryder McNeal, Founder
While working toward both a Film BA and Marketing BBA at Southern Methodist University, Ryder produced several short films across the nation. He soon noticed that the independent distribution model was outdated, leaving emerging filmmakers with no way to get their work noticed beyond the film festival circuit. In response, he founded PREVO to serve as the destination for filmmakers to get their work noticed and for entertainment professionals to discover the next generation of film talent.
Almost two years later, Ryder oversees PREVO full-time and particularly enjoys helping filmmakers connect with others in the industry; he is also working towards a Master of Business Administration at Southern Methodist University.
Colt Waller, Partner
