Nothing Beats A Dark Basement Playing Old Family Films.

I remember when visiting my grandparents in Boston that grandpa would fire up his really cool film projector in the basement playing our home movies. I didn’t imagine that 40 years later I would be helping families nationwide relive their home movies. My chance came in 2007 when I left corporate America and started Forever Studios right here in South Florida. We started transferring 16mm movie reels for historical organizations nationwide, where quality was non-negotiable. And we’re happy to offer the same quality to your family. Zachary J. Goldberg, Owner

What if my film reel smells really bad and it is dry and brittle?

There is a good chance that we will not be able to capture your film reel if it is not in a condition that can pass through our machines. The condition of the film has a large effect on digitizing results.
