About Subscript Studios

Welcome to Subscript. We are a team of specialist editors based in the UK and Malta, collaborating internationally with work experience extending to major production studios in Los Angeles. Alongside our technical know-how, our passion for storytelling guarantees that your content is made accessible to a wider range of viewers while retaining your creative vision and quality.

“Working with Subscript Studios on the subtitling of our latest feature, Zafzifa was an absolute pleasure. They approached the film with accuracy and insight, carefully preserving its original rhythm and tone. Their precision and sensitivity ensured every line carried the same meaning and emotion as in the original language, of which there were many! The process was smooth, collaborative, and reassuring from start to finish. I’m truly grateful for their work and would wholeheartedly recommend their services to any filmmaker."
