Digital deliverables demystified: Supplying for festivals and beyond | BFI Future Film Festival 2023

Get to grips with the digital content that may be requested of you by festivals, streaming platforms and more.

Deliverables is a catch-all term for anything that needs to be created for your film to go to market. This masterclass will cover all the major types of digital deliverables with a focus on the technical aspects of submitting to festivals and streaming platforms so your film can be enjoyed on screens big and small.

DCPS, audio standards, captions and subtitles - even aspect ratios and file naming - can be a minefield to navigate, but a little prep goes a long way. We will look at how to create Electronic Press Kits (EPK), pitch decks, and all the other documentation needed for a professional production. Getting a grip on your deliverables can save you time, stress, and money throughout the production cycle and ensure the best possible future for you and your film.
