What Motion Picture Solutions does

Motion Picture Solutions (MPS) is a London-headquartered, employee-owned provider of film localization and theatrical distribution services, founded in 2005 and operating with 101-250 employees across offices in London, Los Angeles, Dubai, and Sydney. The company sells an interconnected ecosystem of services organized around three workflow phases — Create, Localise, and Distribute — covering content production, subtitling, AV editing, accessibility, GFX, censorship compliance, audio adaptation, theatrical mastering, digital cinema QC, packaging, and fulfillment for cinema and digital platforms. Its go-to-market is enterprise B2B field sales, anchored by a Discovery Workshop consulting model that embeds MPS into customer workflows under an 'Efficiency Revolution' positioning. The company is employee-owned with no external shareholders, and in September 2025 it entered a strategic partnership with US-based Iyuno to expand into the US market while adding theatrical mastering and distribution capabilities to Iyuno's portfolio. Named customers include Disney (Avatar, Sing 2), Universal Pictures (No Time to Die), Sony Pictures (Paddington 2), and the Royal Shakespeare Company, with all revenue generated through project-based professional-services contracts rather than subscription or platform pricing.
