Testimonial

August 6, 2024

FilmFix did a wonderful job of restoring and transferring my Dad's old 8mm video to an external hard drive!! I have had Nathaniel and Laura at FilmFix transfer about 10 reels of old videos to an external hard drive that I use exclusively for this purpose. I still have more reels to be transferred, but so far all the film is from the 1940's and early 50's and even showed my parents wedding day!! Nathaniel did a great job of restoring these old reels to quality viewing so that my family is able to enjoy and see what it was like back in those days. I have more reels for FilmFix to transfer and it is always a great surprise to see what is on the tapes. Thank you to Nathaniel and Laura for a job well done. Nathaniel for restoring my 8mm reels and Laura for being a pleasure to talk to and deal with on the transactions. I highly recommend FilmFix for all of your film restoration needs.

8mm Film Transfer Expert

Nathaniel holding 8mm reel and showing USB stick

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?
