Imagine: you are a cinema programmer and every week dozens of new film trailers are released. From major Hollywood productions to promising European arthouse films — all those trailers deserve attention, but time to keep track of them all is limited. Or perhaps you are simply a passionate film lover who wants to know what's coming to cinemas. In either case, Teasy helps you stay informed without keeping track yourself.
What exactly is Teasy?
Teasy is an iPhone app and a web app, designed to make watching, rating and tracking film trailers as simple and efficient as possible. The name says it all: trailers made easy. Instead of trawling YouTube channels and distributor websites yourself, Teasy automatically brings you trailers for cinema releases from 35 channels — chronologically, without clips, interviews or TV spots.
Teasy is for professional cinema programmers who make daily decisions about which films to show, and film lovers who want to know what is coming to cinemas. Both groups can watch, save and rate trailers to look back later at what they thought.
How does Teasy work?
The concept is simple. Teasy helps you keep up with new cinema trailers from 35 channels, arranged by date. The Inbox only shows trailers you haven't seen yet. You can watch, rate and save trailers within the app. No separate browser tabs, no fragmented lists — everything in one place.
Core features of Teasy
- Keep up with new trailers: The Inbox shows unwatched trailers, newest first
- Rating system: Give each trailer a quick score from 1 to 5 stars
- Save feature: Save interesting trailers to revisit later or share in meetings
- Release calendar: See which films open in cinemas when
- Search and filter: Search by title, filter by channel or by your own stars
- Notifications (iPhone): An alert as soon as a new trailer is out
For cinema programmers
Cinema programmers face a unique challenge: they must decide months in advance which films to show, based on material that is sometimes barely available. A trailer is often the first concrete piece of content they can use to judge whether a film will work for their audience.
Teasy helps programmers by giving them a structured workflow. Instead of ad-hoc scrolling through YouTube recommendations, there is a clear Inbox with new trailers from 35 channels that you haven't watched yet. Ratings are saved, so weeks later you can look back at what you thought of a trailer.
For smaller and mid-sized cinemas — which often operate with limited staff — this is particularly valuable. It saves time and ensures that no relevant release slips under the radar.
For film lovers
You do not have to be a professional programmer to find Teasy useful. As a film lover, it's helpful to keep up with what's coming. Your rating history gives you an at-a-glance overview of the trailers you've rated and what you thought of them.
Do you mainly follow certain studios or distributors? With Teasy Premium you choose which channels are in your feed. Discovering new films becomes a pleasure rather than a search task.
What makes Teasy different?
There are of course other ways to watch film trailers — YouTube, IMDb, streaming apps. But none of those platforms is designed with managing trailers as its core function. Teasy is. The difference is in the details:
- There is no algorithm steering you towards popular content — you decide what is relevant
- Ratings are saved persistently, so you build a personal archive
- The interface is built for efficiency: as few clicks as possible, as much overview as possible
- Your stars and saved trailers are yours; nobody else sees them
- The focus is entirely on upcoming content, not on films that have already been released
The technology behind Teasy
Teasy is available as an iPhone app and as a web app in a modern browser, on a computer, tablet or smartphone. You use the same account on both. That lets you find your ratings and saved trailers when you open Teasy on another device.
Behind the scenes, Teasy follows 35 YouTube channels from studios and distributors releasing films in the Netherlands and Belgium. Teasy checks for new trailers every five minutes. They usually appear within minutes of publication on YouTube, without clips, interviews or TV spots mixed in.
Teasy: built from lived experience
Teasy was made by Kjeld Mooi, who works in the cinema industry. Keeping track of film trailers often means switching between separate studio and distributor channels. Teasy brings together cinema trailers from 35 of those channels, arranged by date. That lets you keep up without checking each channel separately.
Whether you work for a large cinema chain or run a cosy neighbourhood cinema, or you are simply someone who would rather go to the movies than sit on the sofa at home — Teasy is there for you.
