Your film, ready for the big screen.

I make DCPs — the Digital Cinema Packages that festivals and cinemas screen from — for short and feature films. Arabic subtitles, encryption and KDMs included when you need them.

For filmmakers submitting to El Gouna, Red Sea IFF, Cairo IFF and festivals worldwide. Delivered online.

Every DCP fits one of two standard frames. I make sure yours is the right one, so nothing is cropped or letterboxed twice.
