DCP Encode 2k and 4K DCPs for SPAN short doc for Sarah Drummond

We have been working with director Sarah Drummond to produce two sizes of Digital Cinema Package / DCP encodes of her latest short documentary film, SPAN - Stonewall Postal Action Network. A short film by Anthony Bricolage featuring Austin Allen whose letter writing archive was delivered to Bishopsgate institute on Dec 1st 2022 for posterity.  Dr Sarah Elizabeth Drummond is a Scottish director and creative producer who has recently moved to Devon.

Digital cinemas require films to be delivered in a format called DCP (Digital Cinema Package), and Sarah needed a 2k and 4K DCP with burnt in captions to screen at a festival as well as some non-burnt in caption options. We created several DCPs and converted the supplied SRT files into an XML format compatible with DCP as well as created a burnt-on version using our DCP software.

SPAN - Nothing Happened Here

SPAN, is the first of a series of short docs that capture extraordinary LGBTQ+ activism done by ordinary people from their homes.

I really appreciate your support. This is all new territory for me

If you plan to screen your film at a cinema or festival and need a DCP or perhaps DVD or Blu-ray authoring then please get in touch to discuss your requirements.
