about us

celebrating our 25th year, dft is more than just a post house. we're known for our vfx, previs, and finishing work, as well as securing and transporting your camera masters in the cloud (dailies), and recently restoring lost libraries with our film scanners and proprietary remastering workflows. however, we are truly an education and innovation company, focused on democratizing technology so every voice can tell their story with the best tools, regardless of location or limits. we are for and from a different kind of thinker. that's the dft way.
