Film processing takes place on a once-weekly basis. Films are despatched to the lab on Friday mornings and processed Wednesday / Thursday the next week.

To hit the weekly processing run in time please ensure we receive all materials no later than 10am on the Friday. They will then hit the following weeks run on the Wednesday and be back with us on the Thursday / Friday for scanning. If we receive your films later than 10am Friday they will hit the next weeks run.

All new 8mm film stocks are machine processed, yielding superbly consistent results.
