“I am impressed by your precise, flexible, and quick service. What I especially appreciate is that there have been times when you get back to me with questions regarding, for example, logical inconsistencies, which shows just how much careful attention the translators give the screenplays.”

Sandra Fritz MAZ&MORE

“Our animated features are intended for a worldwide audience, and the few words of dialogue must land in every language with the precision animation demands. We thank Liane Kirsch and her team for the spot-on, careful, and flexible work they have been putting into our films for decades now.”

Thomas Meyer-Hermann Studio FILM BILDER

“As someone who sometimes operates outside of normal working day hours, the CINESCRIPT team’s ability to readily and easily keep up with my flexible work schedule is something that impresses me immensely. Their willingness to adapt to the work hours of their clients shows a level of commitment and dedication that you’d be hard pressed to find elsewhere.”

“The full array of what CINESCRIPT has to offer is consistently solid — the quality of the simultaneous interpreters justifies the fees — especially in comparison with competing agencies. We are also grateful for the outstanding service — friendly and readily accessible contacts and speedy reaction times.”
