Hey everyone,
I was wondering if anyone knew any cheap places to process 16mm and 32mm film to digital in BC? Any place out of BC is also swell, as long as the prices are right. Thanks!

What or where is BC? Which country are we talking about?

Canada, or the US, I'm actually from British Columbia (BC), Canada, but I don't mind shipping my film out somewhere that will save me some money.

I realized that I accidently put 32mm when what I meant to put was 35mm, sorry about that!

Yeah, I heard Seattle was cheap for that stuff, dunno though. I tell ya man, the cost of film is such a bitch.

I dunno about cheap, but Flying Spot Film Transfer in Seattle is supposed to be pretty good. Eric Rosen has some good credentials.

For professional services I'd recommend Technicolor and Northwest FX, both in Vancouver. For lower quality and cheap transfer, there's Triad Communications. I think they use a workprinter for telecine.

There's also Rainmaker, but I've heard their prices are stratospheric.
