Giveaway · free to enter

We'll make your film a DCP.

One filmmaker gets the thing that stands between a finished film and a cinema screen: a DCI-compliant Digital Cinema Package, made from their master and validated before it ships. Tell us about the film below.

The prizeYour film converted to a DCP, plus a year of Vault storage

We encode your master to JPEG 2000/MXF with the CPL, PKL and ASSETMAP a cinema server expects, run the full DCI validation on the result, and keep it in a Vault for twelve months so you can send it to a festival with a link instead of a hard drive.

Two things to enter: follow @filmvault.pro and @tiffystunts on Instagram, and fill in the form below. The winner is drawn at random from everyone who does both.

Enter your film

The draw is random, so nothing you write here changes your odds. We ask because we need to reach you, we need your Instagram handle to check the follow, and if you win we need to know what we're converting.

Free to enter, no card, no account. We use your email to confirm the entry and to announce the result — nothing else, unless you tick the box above. See our privacy policy.

How this works

What you win

One winner. We convert your finished film to a DCI-compliant DCP — JPEG 2000 image, MXF wrapping, CPL, PKL and ASSETMAP — validate the result against the DCI spec, and give you a year of Vault storage to hold and share it. Unencrypted by default; if a venue needs an encrypted DCP with KDMs, we'll cut those too.

How to enter

  • Follow @filmvault.pro and @tiffystunts on Instagram. Both are required.
  • Fill in the form above, including the Instagram handle you follow from.
  • Stay following until the draw. We check the winner's follows before confirming the prize, and draw again if they aren't there.

Who can enter

  • Anyone with a finished film and the rights to have it converted.
  • One entry per person. Entering again with the same email address replaces your previous entry rather than adding a second one — so you can correct a typo without changing your odds.
  • Any length, any genre, any country. A 6-minute short and a 110-minute feature have exactly the same chance.

How the winner is chosen

At random. Every valid entry goes into one pool and one is drawn — by the software, not by us picking a favourite. Nothing you write on the form changes your odds: the synopsis, the runtime and the festival plans are there so we know what we're converting if you win, not to rank you against anyone else.

A valid entry is one that follows both accounts and has a reachable email. We can't check follows automatically — Instagram gives us no way to — so we check the drawn winner's by hand against the handle on their entry. If they aren't following both, or we can't reach them, we draw again.

When and how it's announced

Entries close at 23:59 UTC on 7 October 2026. The draw happens on 14 October 2026: we email everyone who entered — winner or not, so nobody is left refreshing a page — post it on Instagram, and contact the winner directly to arrange the master.

Claiming the prize

The winner has 60 days from the announcement — until 13 December 2026 — to get us a master we can work from. After that the offer expires and we may pick another entry. If you need longer, tell us before the deadline rather than after it; we'd rather move a date than void a prize.

We'll take almost anything as a source: ProRes, DNxHD, a high-bitrate H.264, DCP-ready image sequences. If your master turns out to be unusable we'll tell you what we need instead — the 60 days are there for exactly that.

The small print

  • The prize is the conversion, the validation and twelve months of Vault storage. It doesn't include shipping physical media, festival fees, or work on the film itself (no grading, conform or re-cut).
  • Not transferable and not exchangeable for cash. If the winner can't claim it, we pick another entry.
  • You keep every right in your film. Entering doesn't give us a licence to it. We'd like to name the winning film when we announce the result, and we'll ask you first.
  • Your details are used to run the giveaway and nothing else unless you opted in above. Ask us to delete your entry at any time — hello@filmvault.pro.
