Making the leap to 35mm. Suggestions please.

[Frank Weeks]

Can anyone recommend a Digital to 35MM film facility? After many years this is my first 35MM film delivery.

I spoke with Michael Ceoni recently and he suggested Tunnel Inc. He thought they could use a specific device that was relatively inexpensive however when I called they told me that they no longer offered that particular service. They can still perform the transfer but being a bit naive about such things I turn to the wisdom of reducer.

Can anyone suggest a decent facility? I only need a few 1.5 minute 35mm movie trailers prints. The project was shot on Epic and R1. Delivery will be 2k.

Thanks for any assistance.

Fotokem. They are reasonably priced for Indie projects as well. Try them out.

Thank you Matt. Called today and everything is under way.

No problem. Make sure to post your experience with Fotokem on here when the project is finished. It will make this thread valuable to anyone in your situation down the road.

+ 1 post afterwards. I have a similar project that will need to be changed over to film and would like to know what you did and did not like about the process and what pitfalls you found.

I've had very good experience with Deluxe as well.

Deluxe and Technicolor are good, albeit a bit more expensive than Fotokem.

I'd recommend CineFilm. They've always been good to me on lots of different 35mm projects. FotoKem not so much.

What happened at Fotokem? I've never had a problem with them.
