What MASTER FILM LTD does

Master Film Sp. z o.o. (operating as Master Film and branded 'Filmowo') is a Polish audio post-production company founded in 1991, headquartered in Warsaw at ul. Wałbrzyska 3/5, with a registered address in Wilcza Góra. The company operates eleven recording and editing studios and delivers professional lip-synch dubbing, one-voice narration (szeptanki/voice-over), and Polish and foreign-language subtitling for film, television, radio, and multimedia productions. It also offers accessibility services (subtitles for the deaf and audiodescription), audiobooks, audioguides, computer game sound design, website audio, onboard announcements, commercials and jingles, plus Dolby E, LTRT, and AC3 encoding for broadcast and cinema distribution.

The business model is classic B2B professional services: quote-based project work billed to film studios, television networks, independent producers, and other multimedia buyers, with direct sales engagement through a sales-led motion and inbound via the corporate website. Revenue is generated across four streams: dubbing, voice-over, subtitling, and additional audio services. Customer segments are horizontal and diversified across film/TV production, multimedia content producers, and transportation/tourism operators. The company is privately held with no disclosed external investors, and leadership is anchored by Managing Director Adam Setman. The company runs a bilingual Polish/English website and has a light social media presence on Facebook and Instagram, with a public casting sign-up mechanism for voice talent recruitment.
