You should try and get one of these tech kids to convert it to digital.

color film. I mean easily developed color film. I toured a technicolor lab for a job and the process of coloring film is actually really impressive. It's an intensive process. They've been doing it since the 20s, or at least trying to. They dye things - run it through filters - and then apply - get this - sugar. This sugar called Chitin.

Now with these computers they can add color, in a matter of seconds, reproduce it, look for errors in it. Fascinating stuff.
