Perhaps the most unexpected and welcome aspect of my FilmFix experience was that Nathaniel and Laura seem to have a sixth-sense appreciation for the fact that all these grainy, dusty films they receive are some of the most important things in their customers' lives. It was perhaps because of the attention and respect they paid to the task that I realized, my gosh, I really had entrusted them with a treasure. At the same time, I never felt ill at ease about having done so.
The end result was fantastic, too. I'm grateful for the gentle suggestion (there were no pushy sales pitches) that I order color correction since my dad was apparently a little like Icarus with his Bell and Howell; shooting into the sun and nearly obliterating his subjects on occasion. In addition, time (50+ years) had degraded all my films. Thanks to making the necessary color adjustments, images that would've been lost are there on my DVD; and images that would've been poor if left unadjusted are closer to the original.
The best evidence of my satisfaction is that I'm eager to patronize FilmFix again with other family treasures, as I find them. I've already recommended that my relatives do the same. Overall, FilmFix, and Nathaniel and Laura, are a godsend. In my opinion, there's nowhere else to go for film preservation.

8mm Film Transfer Expert
Simplify - get your films in a "grab and go" format! We transfer 8mm or Super 8 films onto a handy USB stick (or hard drive.)
Hello, I'm Nathaniel. My wife Laura and I are FilmFix — a two person team.
I am the technical expert with a degree in motion picture and photography, from Brooks Institute, Santa Barbara, CA.
First, your 8mm film will be inspected and carefully cleaned. Then, I'll convert it — from start to finish. These days, most all our customers request that digital files be delivered onto a hard drive or USB stick. However, we can put your transfer on a DVD or Blu-ray disc, if you really prefer that.
While staying local is nice, sometimes it's in your best interest to expand further and find the professional experts who specialize in this sort of transfer. Transferring 8mm film -- the right way -- is highly technical and it requires specialized, pricey equipment.
We're very glad you found us! Let us show you why we have a stellar reputation. Shall we get started on a reasonably-priced estimate?
