The master document
at the heart of
every delivery package.
A CCSL is the comprehensive written record of a finished film — every word spoken, every music cue, every sound effect, every on-screen visual element — formatted to the exact specifications your distributor requires. No film reaches a streaming platform or international market without one.
When Netflix, Amazon, or a foreign sales agent acquires your film, the CCSL is the source document used to create all downstream deliverables. Getting it right from the start saves costly revision cycles and protects your delivery deadline.

Specialists,
not generalists.
This isn't an add-on service. CCSL creation, dialogue spotting, and audio description are all we do — meaning every workflow, every quality check, and every team member is built around this one discipline.
Netflix, Amazon, and Apple TV+ update their delivery requirements without warning. We monitor every change so your CCSL ships to the current spec — not last year's.
Our QC process mirrors the distributor's review process. The goal is acceptance on the first submission every time — eliminating revision cycles that delay your release.
