a massive shoutout to cinelab film & digital for supporting straight 8 since 2016

every single straight 8 film since then has been processed by them. literally - your films share a warm bath with some of the world’s biggest feature films

so if you’re looking for best in class film processing for your projects, don't forget they also process and scan 16mm, 35mm and even 65mm… and now they have full digital capability too from on-set through the entire workflow. oh - and best of all: they’re top people

and a big thank you too to kodak, who recently came on board as a regular sponsor - welcome!

kodak need no introduction, do they?? tip top film makers for filmmakers
