Universal Cinergia Dubbing announced that it is doing more new business even in times of pandemic, as demand for localized content has skyrocketed, for both duplicate and captioned content. Liliam Hernández, CEO of the company, stated that agreements have been signed with Caracol, Sony, NBC, Gaumont, DARO, CJEM and Eccho Rights, among others. The company also announced that it has increased security policies for talent and staff, many of whom work remotely.
Some of the new projects are: "Bolivar", a historical drama produced and distributed by Caracol, is being dubbed to English; "Guardian: The Lonely and Great God", from CJEM is being dubbed to Spanish, as well as "Cennet", Turkish drama produced by ATV and distributed by Eccho Rights, currently airing on Telemundo as well as on Canal 4 (Uruguay). France’s Gaumont is localizing a package of ten movies into Spanish, and Daro from Monte Carlo has contracted two Steven Seagal movies to be dubbed to Portuguese for broadcast in Brazil. The company is also working on other projects in Portuguese, Spanish, English and French.
“All businesses are being forced to make major changes in the way they work. Staying connected has never been so crucial, and business continuity is vital. At Universal Cinergia, with the entire staff working remotely, there is the constant reminder of how important it is to be part of a team. Ironically, times of crisis can also bring opportunities. Our clients know that they can count on us, no matter what the circumstances are. Caracol, Sony, NBC, Gaumont, Daro, CJEM and Eccho Rights are some of the companies that we working with right now, dubbing content to Portuguese, Spanish and English,” said Liliam Hernandez, CEO at Universal Cinergia Dubbing.
The studios are working at reduced capacity, with all the necessary safety precautions required by law. Sanitizing procedures are in place and talents, directors and technicians go in to the studio for recording and are able to work in a safe environment, with gloves, masks, and temperature monitoring. Social distancing is being respected and done very consciously.
“We are doing business and we are doing it safely. We want to thank our clients who have been understanding for turnaround deadlines needing extensions and other considerations. Our voice talents and employees are a major concern and we do everything within our power to provide a clean and sanitized work environment," commented Gema Lopez, COO of Universal Cinergia. "More than ever, these are times when we need to be here for our clients, yet take care of ourselves, our health, our environment, our families and our loved ones. We are all in this together. And when this is over, we will come out better and stronger!,” concluded.
