With the EZ, it’s reel easy.
We make it simple for our clients to assess, access, and possess their film collections digitally, courtesy of our unique EasyReel™ Technology and the Filmic EZ35, the most effective machine on the market. Digitization, especially at scale, can seem daunting. But our tech is the simplest way to digitize “miles in minutes” and reveal the reel. It’s so easy, it’s like magic.
Fast
No need to spend many hours preparing films before they go onto a machine. Simply take the film out of the can, and thread it onto the EZ.
Logical
The EZ is small and light enough to be easily portable and fit comfortably on your desktop or worktable.
Inventive
Our AI does the heavy-lifting, analyzing your film frame-by-frame to detect damage so you can digitally triage your collection before sending it to a specialist or hosting in an online archive.
EasyReel™ Technology
We use computer vision to develop an objective analysis of the state of your film. Our AI detects perforation integrity, shrinkage, stretch, and edge deviation, then builds a condition report on your film, offering a detailed assessment of damage. The AI also controls the transport, making the EZ35 suitable for film in any condition.
