DCPs for filmmakers, by filmmakers.

Founded by a filmmaker who knows firsthand what a flawless theatrical presentation demands — and builds every DCP like his own film is the one on screen.

Start a Project Our Story

The Founder

Built by someone who's been there

The DCP Works was founded by Thomas Verdi, an independent filmmaker and founder of The Film Fund, who understands the importance of a flawless theatrical presentation. As a filmmaker himself, Thomas knows how crucial it is that every film reaches the screen with the highest visual and auditory quality — whether it's premiering at a major festival or an independent cinema.

That perspective shapes everything here. We're not an upload tool or an automated pipeline — we're the people who've sweated our own festival deadlines and know exactly what's riding on a clean projection.
