PRE-ORDER YOUR BLUE FILMMAKER BADGE by March 22!

1. SEND YOUR FILM IN RIGHT AWAY!

This is an AMC requirement: they want an approved vendor to handle all film print deliveries.

Please read the below instructions carefully to ensure DCP for All receives your film by MARCH 18. DO NOT MISS DEADLINE

Steps to Submit Your Film: 

NEED A DCP?  To have one created , DCP for ALL  only needs your master file.
 
– You can send them  audio and video separately or in a single master file.
– If you send audio and video separately, make sure that the tracks are perfectly in sync.
– Make sure that audio and video have exactly the same length (to the single frame)
– Make sure to remove any 2pop, leaders, or anything that you don’t want in your picture.
– If you need open captions, please have them burned into the video or send us a .srt file
– Save your Master file and (if applicable) audio tracks in a folder.
– Please name your folder YourName_FilmTitle_SourceFile
– Upload your folder on the SOURCE FILE PORTAL HERE: https://portal-6167087453.portal.massive.io/
 
ATTENTION:
– Let DCP for all know anything specific about your film. Otherwise, your DCP will be created following this standard profile: 24fps, rec.709, no captions, 5.1/Stereo.
– DCP for ALL highly recommend not to add any letterboxing to the picture. If your picture has letterboxing, depending on your film’s aspect ratio, your picture will result windowboxed.
– If your film is not in English and the festival requires subtitles/captions, please provide us an .srt file and mention the language spoken in your film.
– Due to the large volume of films, DCL for ALL cannot QC the source files we receive. Filmmakers are responsible for providing a flawless source file.
– DCP for ALL  takes no responsibility for screening issues due to faulty source files.
– All DCPs will be created in 2k while maintaining your original aspect ratio.
