Worldwide Delivery
Physical and digital master delivery to distributors, platforms, and archives worldwide. DCP, IMF, ProRes, and broadcast masters built to exact distributor specifications.
Two Sides of Every Deal
We serve both parties in the transaction, wherever they are in the world.
Foreign & Domestic Distributors
You've acquired a film from a US or international producer. The producer may be a novice, the deliverables may be incomplete, or you simply need a trusted partner in the US to manage the process and ensure everything arrives compliant and on spec.
Typical scenario: A European distributor acquires North American rights to an independent feature. The producer has locked picture but has no delivery experience. Carbon Arc steps in to manage the producer's post-production, assemble the full deliverables package, and deliver directly to the distributor's specifications.
Producers Post-Deal
You've closed a distribution deal, domestic or international, and now need to deliver a compliant package. You may not have the team, the technical knowledge, or the bandwidth to handle legal delivery, physical delivery, QC, and platform-specific formatting.
Typical scenario: An independent producer signs with a sales agent after a festival premiere. The distributor's delivery requirements list runs 40 items. Carbon Arc manages the entire delivery process, from DCP mastering to chain-of-title documentation to final QC clearance.
