About Me
Hi, I'm Borja. I was born in Spain, obtained my BS in Digital Media in Film, and got the opportunity to live abroad and work in post-production in Los Angeles and Montreal for the last decade.
I started doing mastering and finishing mostly for films and some TV shows. I delivered projects to studios like Sony Pictures, Universal, and Lionsgate, and streaming platforms including Netflix, Amazon, and HBO. Later, I got to supervise Digital Intermediate (DI) processes, design ACES color workflows for 2K/4K and HDR, ensuring technical precision for DCI/SMPTE standards, and handling processes from conform and color prep to final QC and secure delivery (DCP, IMF, AS-02, Tape). I'm also certified in Dolby Vision mastering.
For indie films, I have mostly prepared the DCP files for submission to Film Festival premieres around the world. For the past few years, I've been perfecting my remote workflow, testing and improving the process to work with international clients.
I'm bringing my expertise directly to independent filmmakers and creators, as I saw a need for affordable, reliable DCP services that don't compromise on quality or technical standards.
What Filmmakers Are Saying
"On projects like Squealer and Salvation, he was proactive and responsive, handling every technical challenge that came up. He managed the successful mastering and final delivery to our distributor. Having Borja on the team means you can stop worrying about the technical side and know it will be done right."
"I've worked with Borja on two of our feature films, and he's a fantastic partner who understands the concerns and worries of indie filmmakers approaching the finishing line. His expertise in DCP creation is outstanding. We had a submission for the Venice Film Festival that required DCP versioning with both English and Italian subtitles, and he handled it without a hitch."
"For our project, Borja managed the entire technical post-production DI workflow, from a complex documentary online editorial right through to final mastering. He confidently coordinated our encrypted DCP submissions for both Toronto (TIFF) and San Sebastian. Borja is a post-workflow expert and a good partner who gets what a filmmaker needs."
"As an independent filmmaker, having someone you can truly trust with your final DCP is everything. Borja is that person. His expertise is obvious, and he's proactive and focused on the filmmaker's needs. Once the DCP file was ready and approved, there were last minute changes in the closing titles and Borja was able to update the DCP file before the deadline."
"Borja's technical expertise is outstanding. I trusted the studio he was working at with the 4K HDR digital restoration of my film negative for Jimmy Zip from 1999. Borja designed the entire DI workflow for HDR and he later created a DCP from the DCI-P3 trim. In addition to his technical expertise, his creativity and problem solving abilities were key to creating a high level viewing experience of the film. In addition, he also updated the titles of a DCP for my other project, Devi Danger. For 'next level' results I would highly recommend Borja to any film production that is in the post production process. If you wish to minimize stress and are in need of a confidant collaborator, Borja is an artist-technician that will deliver results that will exceed expectations."
