I came into possession of some very special film reels recently — old home movies that supposedly contained footage of my mother. She has been gone since 1980, and until I received these reels, no video of her was known to exist. The prospect of seeing her alive and happy again, even if only on video, was thrilling.
I had no way to capture this footage, though, and the notion of handing it off to strangers was a bit terrifying. These very old 8mm reels were surely delicate, and probably quite deteriorated, but to me they were priceless and irreplaceable.
I did some extensive homework, and finally, through word of mouth, I found FilmFix. From the outset, their bedside manner inspired confidence. They returned my call very quickly, then walked me through their process, discussed the various options available, and quoted an estimated price. I was still nervous, but I at least had the comfort of knowing that I was in good hands.
Fast forward a week or two: I had multiple copies of my precious footage, both raw and color-corrected, both uncompressed and formatted for upload. It was everything I could have hoped for. Every single promise FilmFix made, they kept—except for the price, which was actually lower than the one they quoted me.
I could not be happier with my decision to trust my footage to FilmFix.

I found FilmFix.com through a Google search, which linked to their article “4K vs 2K 8mm film transfer.” It was very informative, so I looked at some of their other articles, info, and testimonials. I called them, and they answered questions to my satisfaction. Therefore, I shipped them over 5000 ft of film.
The transfers look great!
I am quite pleased with the work done by Nathaniel and Laura.

My experience with FilmFix and their managers (company owners), Nathaniel and Laura Courtens, was exceptional from the beginning to the end. My precious 107 reels of Super 8 films, documenting decades of our family life, were treated like gold. My first contact with Nathaniel was over the phone and we talked for 40 minutes about the process and he answered thoroughly about the process and all the options available for the transfer. Every step of the process from shipment to transfer to shipment back to my place went very smoothly. The communication was easy and regular. The quality of the transfer is outstanding. Nathaniel and Laura are so professional and reliable. I recommend FilmFix 100%.
