Let’s Talk Movie Film—It’s Easier Than You Think!

We get it—figuring out how much movie film you have can be confusing. But don’t worry, we’ve got you! We charge $0.20 per foot, but who actually knows how many feet they have? Here’s a simple way to break it down:

  • If your reel fits in the palm of your hand (3-inch reel), it’s 50 feet → $9.99

  • A 5-inch reel? That’s just four of those small reels spliced together → $39.99

  • A 7-inch reel? That’s eight small reels’ worth of film → $79.99

So, if your reel is bigger than 3 inches, it’s just a stack of smaller reels combined. Easy, right? 😊

Now, What Do You Want Your Movies On?

You’ve got three choices: Flash Drive, Digital Download, or DVD.

  • Digital Download or DVD? No extra cost—it’s included in the transfer price!

  • Flash Drive? Bring your own or grab one from us for $9.99.

Easy, simple, no surprises!
