DCP CREATION

Cinema-ready delivery for short films and features. Made by a human.

You’ve finished your film. Now it needs to play on a cinema screen exactly as you made it. We create Digital Cinema Packages (DCPs) that meet festival and exhibitor standards, so your film looks and sounds right in any theatre, from your local festival to a full theatrical release.

What’s Included

  • SMPTE or Interop DCPs, built to festival and exhibitor specifications

  • Accurate colour conversion from your Rec.709 or P3 master to DCI-XYZ

  • 5.1, 7.1 or stereo audio, correctly mapped and checked for sync

  • Encrypted DCPs and KDMs for premieres, press screenings and distribution

  • Quality control playback, checking every frame and every audio channel before delivery

  • Delivery your way: USB, or secure digital download

DCP Creation for Film Festivals & Cinemas

A DCP (Digital Cinema Package) is the standard format cinemas and film festivals use to screen films. It’s a set of files with your picture, sound and subtitles, encoded to strict DCI specifications. If your film is screening in a cinema, it almost certainly needs one. If the DCP isn’t built correctly, it can be rejected, or play with the wrong colour or missing audio.

WHAT IS A DCP?

WHY CHOOSE A HUMAN?

Automated DCP services are fast, but they don’t watch your film. We do. Every DCP we deliver is played back and checked frame by frame and channel by channel by people who make films themselves. If something’s off in your master, we’ll catch it and tell you before it reaches a festival programmer.

Send us your master: a ProRes or similar file, plus audio stems and subtitles.

We prep & convert: colour, audio mapping and specs to suit where it’s screening.

Full QC playback: every frame, every channel.

Delivery: on USB or by secure download, ready for the festival or cinema.

HOW IT WORKS

LET US HANDLE YOUR DCP

We’re filmmakers, so we know what’s at stake when your film hits the big screen. A rejected DCP or a colour shift on premiere night isn’t an option. You’ll work directly with us from file prep to final delivery, with clear pricing and no surprises.
