I am about to start editing my first movie (a micro budget feature), and the Producer/Director says that in order to show a movie in a theater, it needs to be in the DCP format. I looked it up and it stands for Digital Cinema Package. Couldn't find too much info besides the basics.
My questions are:
Is this true?
Is this something I can output from Avid (Currently MC 6.5)?
Or Will there be another step to take outside of Avid, and if so, what?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Dwight
