Sigh. I guess we're now going to get a tonne of posts pointing people with film to a whole bunch of places that can transfer 8/16/35mm film to video, but will not, because the owner of the film doesn't have permission. These are not home movies were talking about.

Listen: if you haven't personally checked out the place by sending some film from a Hollywood movie, then these "you should send your stuff here" posts are almost useless. I like the enthusiasm, but they're frustrating because they make a solution sound trivial. But it's really not that simple. If it were, then everyone would be doing it already. I mean, you think people who have figured out how to get film haven't figure out how to use Google?

Sorry to sound harsh, but this topic comes up again and again, and yet nobody actually does any legwork towards making it a reality.
