Clarke Keene, Laboratory Operations, has worked in each of New Zealand's processing Labs and has 20 years' experience in the laboratory environment.

Dion Cupido came to FilmLab from South Africa where he was involved for over 20 years in major South African laboratories.

Mark Irwin has been at FilmLab for four years and in that time he has been trained to the very highest standards required by our Laboratory.

Clare Rising is Executive Director and retains ownership of the company.

FilmLab processes 35, 16 and Super 16mm colour negative (Kodak and FujiFilm) at our purpose-built and fully-owned facility in the hub of the film industry environment in MacKelvie Street, Grey Lynn, Auckland. The Laboratory operates in a positive air pressure environment and the Lab staff use the latest infrared monitoring equipment to ensure the safety of your production.

FilmLab also is the only Auckland Lab with a back-up water system and power generator, ensuring the safety of your negative throughout the processing operation.

We have a proven track record with major international productions shooting in New Zealand, working through local Line Producers. We also retain a close relationship with Line Producers, Telecine Post Production Houses and couriers, to ensure your shooting experience runs as smoothly as possible.
