Just curious how the transfer to 35 mm went. I've always wrestled with the idea of shooting on digital and transferring to film vs just shooting on film. I've heard a transfer can cost upwards of $30K. Is that more than it would have cost to just shoot on film? Do festivals like Sundance, Slamdance, etc. accept 16 mm?

Sorry if you've already addressed this- I'm new.

We did a 3 minute test transfer to 35mm, but havent yet done a full transfer. The test looks great. I'm very happy with it.

Yeah, it's more to shoot film then to do a transfer. However film will look better.

Sundance, Slamdance, and most fests will accept/project 16mm, 35mm and digital.
