It's Time To Transfer Those Reels

Movie Film Transfers

Your movie reels are cared for by our trained archiving experts, who will treat your materials with the utmost care. Your items never leave our store or get shipped away, and we return all original media to you once the process is complete.

Your movies are captured frame-by-frame on a modern digital transfer station that safely transports your delicate film, avoiding the use of sprockets, for a gentle transport.

...
How it works:
  • Number your movie reels in your preferred sequence (usually by date taken).
  • Drop off your reels at our store, or ship them with a trackable carrier.
  • Choose USB drive (editable) and/or playable DVDs.
  • Your memorabilia is cared for by our trained archiving experts, who will treat your materials with the utmost care.
  • We’ll ship back to you, or notify you to pick up in our store.
  • We return all original media to you after the process is complete.
Who else needs a copy?

The best way to share your renewed video and movie footage is by getting family members their very own copy. Additional copies are priced very reasonably. As you’re embarking on your project, think of siblings, cousins, children and grandchildren who may appreciate a copy today (or when they’re grown up).
