AFFORDABLE, IN-HOUSE FILM PROCESSING for MOTION PICTURE and STILLS
Coming soon…
Nicki is dedicated to continuing to bring affordable and high quality services to analog filmmakers and photographers. After my film lab closed in 2016 I’ve always dreamed of bringing these services back
The current status: I’ve secured an 8/16/35 ECN-II film processor and a space to install it. The refurbishment process is nearing completion NOW COMPLETE, but timing and exact pricing of services is still in the works
Existing Process+Scan bundles utilize trusted 3rd party labs until the processor is online These existing bundles do not reflect the final pricing or turnaround time
The current plan is to offer the following, however not all of these services will be available right away:
8/16/35 Color Negative
True ECN2 processing for 35mm stills using 100% motion picture machinery including 13K scanning on the Lasergraphics
8/16 Ektachrome
8/16 B&W
Custom analog procedures such as one-of-a-kind optical effects
Camera rental and repair
Post Services
Workshops and conservatory

WE INTEND TO BE THE BEST LAB IN THE WORLD
This is how we’re doing it…
Supreme quality and control. Nicki spent years juggling multiple processors, printers, chemistry, quality control, color timing, prep and clean, while also building a digital department and formulating unique procedures as the main lab tech at a premiere laboratory that specialized in serving experimental filmmakers. All this builds a solid foundation upon which these laboratory services will rest
Insane pricing. Analog filmmaking is not cheap, but we are dedicated to bringing this cost down, allowing you to shoot more film and to shoot film more often
Excellent customer service and support. We believe in talking to our clients and forging partnerships and friendships in this process
A modern approach to old-school. We believe that the analog medium is the best in the industry, and that modern technology and procedures can unlock the true potential of the medium
Unique services. With a basis of experimental filmmaking such as working with the Brakhage Collection, we will offer one-of-a-kind specialty services. This will include options such as “choose your own developer”, custom-built optical SFX processes unlike anything else on the planet, and digital film-out services designed for look creation
Resources and tools. Along with providing excellent services, we are creating a world-wide network of resources and experts to offer practically anything a filmmaker may need
