Post-production finishing is the final phase of filmmaking between picture lock and delivery. It includes the film mix, color grading, quality control, and the creation of your final deliverables – such as a DCP for cinema screenings or masters for online release. In short: production gives you the pieces, editing shapes the story, and finishing turns it into the film your audience actually sees and hears.

Most film festivals require a DCP (Digital Cinema Package) for theatrical screenings, plus a high-quality video file for preview and online use. Depending on the festival, you may also need audio stems (dialogue, music, effects), an M&E track, or specific loudness compliance. We define your exact festival deliverables together during the planning phase — so nothing is missing on submission day.

Yes. We create simple, unencrypted, SMPTE-compliant DCPs designed for film festival submissions and cinema screenings. Because we deliberately avoid encrypted DCPs, there is no KDM or key management involved – your film plays reliably on any modern cinema server. Every DCP is quality-checked before delivery.

Absolutely – that's the standard case. You (or your editor) deliver the locked cut with a reference video and the audio from your timeline, and we take over from there: supervision, film mixing, color grading, cinema review, and final delivery. We don't recut your film. Your edit stays yours – we finish it.

Color grading is part of our finishing pipeline and handled in-house by Patryk, our color grader. If your project only needs a grade, reach out anyway – we'll look at your film and find the setup that makes sense for your production and budget.

It depends on the length and complexity of your film. Most short films move from locked cut to final delivery within a few weeks, including revisions and the cinema review. During your free consultation, you'll receive a clear timeline upfront – especially important if you're working toward a festival deadline.
