The leading specialist in end-to-end film workflow services has announced a remarkable achievement, with their team now hitting over 10 million feet of motion picture film scanned at their location at Kodak in Pinewood Studios.

This milestone underscores the resurgent vitality of film in contemporary filmmaking and highlights the unparalleled expertise the company brings to the industry. Digital Orchard has seen an increase in demand for film services, driven by the ongoing revival of analogue filmmaking. Since joining forces with Kodak Film Lab London back in 2019, both companies have provided seamless film processing and scanning services that combine state-of-the-art technology with meticulous craftsmanship.

This is a proud moment for us, reaching 10 million feet is a testament to the enduring legacy of film as a medium and the trust our clients place in us. We’ve enjoyed every second of collaboration with Kodak and hope to continue to deliver the highest standards of quality to filmmakers.
