Who we are
Premier DCP helps filmmakers, producers, and festivals deliver their work to the big screen with confidence. We create dependable Digital Cinema Packages (DCPs) built to professional theatrical standards, so your film is ready for cinema playback—on time, in spec, and without surprises.
Our work has screened at festivals across the world, including Cannes, Big Sky, DOC NYC, Full Frame, River Run, CPH:DOX, Sheffield Doc Fest, Sydney Film Festival, and Atlanta Film Festival.
Premier DCP was founded by Robert Gourley, a working filmmaker and editor who understands the pressure of deadlines, tech requirements, and festival delivery rules. Premier DCP exists to make the delivery side of finishing a film feel straightforward: clear communication, careful handling of your assets, and a final package you can hand to a theater or festival with peace of mind.
