Hey HN,<p>I'm one of the founding engineers of Prescreen. We're disrupting the movie distribution space by bringing new movies directly to consumers via streaming online.<p>For consumers, we feature a single new unseen movie each day. The movie remains on Prescreen for 60 days. Customers who purchase the movie have a 48 hour period to view the movie once they start watching.<p>For independent filmmakers, we provide a launchpad to getting distribution. Films are like startups in many ways - you get a bunch of great people together and work your ass off to produce an awesome product. Then comes the hard part - generating enough interest in the film to get distribution, which is analogous to getting enough traction to land series-A funding. Prescreen provides an initial audience for the film, and more importantly, provides insights into the addressable market.<p>We produced our MVP in about 3 months with 3 engineers, leveraging a bunch of newer tech including MongoDB, the Lithium PHP framework, and Cloudfront.<p>Would love your feedback on the product and the space.<p>https://prescreen.com<p>Regards,
Tyler
