There’s something special about shooting film. The anticipation, the texture, the grain, the way each roll tells its own story — it’s a process that slows you down and invites you to be present. At Pixel Connection, we’re committed to honoring that process by developing your film with care, consistency, and professional quality that you can rely on.
Whether you’re shooting your first disposable camera or your 200th roll of Portra, our film lab is here to help bring your images to life.
What We Develop
We process and scan:
- 35mm Film (C-41 Color + Black & White)
- 120 / Medium Format Film (C-41 Color + Black & White)
- Disposable Cameras
- Push/Pull Processing available upon request
We do not currently process slide (E-6) film in-house.
Turnaround Times
We process every roll by hand in small batches to ensure quality and consistency.
