Sneak

Find out what survived the wringer.

Private screenings for unfinished films

Your friends lie to you. Not on purpose: they were there, they know what you meant, and they cannot unsee the cut you sent last month.

Show the film to a panel of strangers instead: general viewers, editors, working filmmakers, or a mix. Real people, every one of them vetted by hand.

Screeners are paid for every card they write.

People, not models

Every word in your report was written by a person who watched your film. No AI, no exceptions.

What to expect

Four steps, no surprises.

  1. 01

    Submit the cut

    Title, runtime, a link. Nothing else. We do not show viewers your synopsis before they watch, because the reaction you are paying for is a stranger’s cold reaction, not one primed in advance.

  2. 02

    Ten strangers watch it

    Independent viewers, no connection to your production, watching in a minimal player built for one thing. We measure whether the film was actually watched, not just opened.

  3. 03

    They fill out the card

    Structured questions, anonymous answers. Where their attention went, what they thought it was about, the image they still remember, and the one nobody else asks: what would you tell the filmmaker not to change.

  4. 04

    You get the report

    Not a spreadsheet. One document: the attention curve laid against your runtime and every viewer’s words printed whole, exactly as they wrote them.

What comes back

A report, not a rating.

No star score, no leaderboard, nothing public. One document, written by the people who watched, and it is yours alone.

Illustrative numbers. Yours will be real.

Attention across runtime

00:0006:0012:00

Drawn from what people actually watched, second by second, not from what they remember. Where the bar drops is where you lost them, and it is usually not where you expected.

An illustration of the shape. Hover or focus a bar for its detail. Your curve will be your own.

And then, in their own words

What they thought it was about

What they would not change

The image they still remember

Where they stopped paying attention

How the ending made them feel

Printed whole, one viewer at a time. Nothing summarised, nothing averaged, nothing generated. Where two of them read your film differently, you get both.
