Film Festival Partnerships
Your festival's trusted DCP partner.
We handle the technical side of your festival — so every filmmaker's work screens with precision, and your program runs clean from the first frame to the last.
The Partnership
Transparent pricing for your filmmakers
Filmmakers at our partner festivals get our standard transparent pricing — short films under 15 minutes at a flat $129 (2K) / $189 (4K), and longer films priced per minute — an affordable, high-quality path to the big screen. But we don't stop there.
What Partner Festivals Get
Four ways we show up
A frame-level QC report on every DCP
A failed DCP doesn't just inconvenience a filmmaker — it stops your screening cold, in front of a live audience. That's why every DCP we create includes a full frame-level quality control report, reviewed by a real technician, at no extra charge.
We check playback, audio channel routing, and DCI compliance before anything reaches your projector — so your program runs clean from the first frame to the last.
Free print traffic management Free
We take the hassle out of organizing DCPs by handling all print traffic at no cost to the festival. We manage, consolidate, and ship the festival's DCPs on a hard drive directly to the venue, ensuring a seamless handoff to your technical director or projectionist.
Let us handle the logistics so you can focus on curating an unforgettable festival experience.
Free future DCPs for your award winners Free
We believe in supporting filmmakers beyond a single screening. Festival award winners (up to three per festival) receive free DCP creation for their next project, up to a 15-minute runtime — ensuring their future films are ready for the big screen at no cost.
Not equipped for DCPs? We'll fix that
Locked into a venue that isn't set up for digital cinema? That's quite all right. Our trusted projection team works with you and our partners to outfit your venue for the full cinematic experience — cinema projector, cinema server, surround sound, and all.
