Attention Everyone
Around November 11th while having other work done, it was discovered that one of the 70+ year old pipes is leaking into the wall and must be replaced ASAP. This pipe is just a few feet from where our film processor is sitting. The wall we have to open is made of Antique Knotty Pine. We need to get this repaired ASAP without damaging the wall. We attempted to do a soft shutdown to reduce our workload, this plan failed. We are returning to our normal hours. We are adding a 2 week extended turn around time to all film developing till we get our plumbing issue resolved. We had hoped that would be by the end of this month but its looking like it will be the end of this year.

While we were closed we made some price updates and added a few non film services. We hope these are the only updates needed until 2025

While all this has been going on I (Andrew) saw a foot doctor and was diagnosed with Morton’s Norma in both feet. This has slowed down our plumbing repair project and also getting film developed.

We are planning to have our annual 25% off Black Friday Weekend Sale of 35mm C-41 developing and Disposable Camera developing. The sale will not include any other film types.

About our Lab:
Our lab is OPEN with extended turnaround time. Our normal business hours are from 6pm to 10pm Mon-Thurs and 10am to 10pm Most Weekends. Both Andrew (owner) and Rachel (Manager) hold Full time Jobs from 7am to 5pm Monday-Friday in unrelated fields. Both of them love film and started this lab to make film photography as affordable as possible. Both of them believe in low cost high quality work. Quality is more important than speed to them so please be patient. This business is their way of helping the film community. However unlike a normal lab, their lab is operated in their free time. Life often gets in the way with unexpected events and sometimes they take a Saturday off and do some of their own film photography. So the turn around time is an estimate for a single roll or a few rolls. Larger orders or multiple film types in a single order will take a whole lot longer. Please keep this in mind when sending film. For those who have been sending them film for a while now, Thank You. For new customers, Welcome!! Andrew and Rachel love film and they want to help you love it too!! Please feel free to email them for questions. Andrew is on Instagram (@needfilmdeveloped.com) for chatting, he can’t give status updates, Please email them for updates on your order, THANK YOU!!
