Big screen dreams don’t happen by accident. They happen with the right prep, the right knowledge, and, let’s be honest, a lot of industry experience.
In November, we’ll be running a workshop on how to prepare films for cinema screening at a film festival in Birmingham. Between us, we’ve clocked up over 20 years in the industry, and since launching DCP-Solutions have worked with a number of filmmakers. Check out our reviews on our home page.
This is your chance to skip the trial-and-error and learn straight from us, the people who have solved the problems before.
Who should be there?
Short answer: any filmmaker who wants their work to look and sound right on the big screen.
– Independent filmmakers ready to take the next step
– Film students sharpening their craft
– Anyone just starting out and curious about what proper cinema delivery really involves
If that’s you, this workshop was built with you in mind.
What we’re covering in our practical session:
cinema delivery requirements — how to make the most out of the big screen
project set-up in DaVinci Resolve — starting strong so you’re not fixing problems later
colour space and gamma considerations — because your film should look the way you intended.
audio preparation for cinema playback — sound that fills the room correctly enhancing your film
common issues and how to avoid them — the mistakes we see again and again, and how to side-step them
We’ll wrap up with a Q&A session, so bring your trickiest questions — this is your moment to pick our brains.
Why this matters
Getting a film onto the big screen isn’t just about finishing it — it’s about finishing it right. The difference between a good screening and a great one often comes down to the details most filmmakers are never taught. We’re here to change that.
Ready to join us?
Places at hands-on workshops like this one are snapped up quickly, and we want to see the room full of filmmakers ready to make the leap to cinema-standard work.
