I love film photography, but the expense has always been a significant hurdle. Coming from a background in filmmaking, I have always been captivated by the stunning results that cinema films produce. When I discovered how to use the same types of film in my still 35mm camera, my perspective shifted dramatically. This revelation opened up a new world of possibilities, allowing me to create striking images that echoed the cinematic quality I admired.

To achieve exceptional results with cinema film, the ECN-2 process is essential. This development method is specifically designed for motion picture film, ensuring optimal color reproduction and image quality. However, the ECN-2 process involves an additional step of removing the remjet backing, a film component that can interfere with the regular C-41 development process. As a result, many labs do not offer this specialized service, limiting access to the best outcomes for photographers.

Charleston Film Lab specializes in making the shooting, developing, and scanning of cinema film more affordable than ever before. Our all inclusive pricing ensures that anyone can capture their creative vision without breaking the bank.
