What is Master-Guided Film Revision? Master-Guided Film Revision can be compared to the recent ‘Zac Snyder Cut’ of the Justice League film: our Masters will help you to overhaul your film completely through re-editing, audio-visual enhancements and narrative structure to enhance your vision and make the film the best it can be. Why choose Master-Guided Film Revision? If your film has consistently failed to be shortlisted for international film festivals, or has been shortlisted many times but fails to actually win awards then Master-Guided Film Revision may be for you. The advice of our experts (who know what the festival jurors are looking for) can increase the probability of award winning at an international level. Winning awards and being screened at major festivals can also help the film commercially- streaming services and other distributors will pay attention to such films and can reshape your position in the international film market. The guidance of the Master can also help to empower your movie: you can use the name of the Master in your credits and promotion and the Master will directly recommend his works to international festival jurors around the world.
