Four steps from your hard drive to the big screen.

Get selected
PremiereMe curates films into themed screening nights based on genre, tone, subject, audience, and runtime.
Invite your community
Selected creators invite friends, family, collaborators, fans, and supporters.
Premiere together
Creators share the theater, see their work on the big screen, meet other filmmakers, and build new relationships.
More than a screening.
PremiereMe creates a physical space for creators to celebrate their work, discover new collaborators, and build meaningful creative communities. Each event is designed to feel like a real premiere, not simply a room rental.
See your work on the big screen
Real theaters, real projection, real audiences — the way movies are meant to be seen.
Meet filmmakers and collaborators
Every night is programmed to introduce you to people you'll want to work with next.
Build a real local creative community
Recurring nights across NYC and NJ so you keep running into the people who show up.
