What Our Clients Are Saying
“After my elderly father passed away in the summer, we were left with a water-stained box full of 8mm film. We researched options to transfer the film to digital and we are so glad we found you! We handed that box of films directly to you. No huge delay in getting this started. No complicated mailing. No detailed forms. No risk of sending to another state. All in-house work. You made this such a simple process!
And best of all ... We are delighted with the results!! Our whole family is reliving (or seeing for the first time) summer vacations and holidays and fashions from a world long gone by. Thank you for making this happen! If we uncover more old media, we will be back!” (Email from Client)
