What customers say
I heard about Arthouse through Instagram and friends. I only recently started shooting film in 2025 coming from a digital background. I don’t know what I’m doing but I’m having fun. Sid, the owner is extremely friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and just has an incredible attitude.
Sid and Arthouse Film Lab have been hands down the best film lab ive used. Sid is extremely helpful, kind, and passionate about community along with photography. In doing so he creates a safe space in Arthouse for all people to come and experience.
BEST film lab. The quality / care here is unmatched. Arthouse will always be my first option for so many reasons, you'll just have to find out for yourself!
What more can I say (word to Jay Z). This is not a business, it's a community resource by community members. The guys are well informed about film (motion and still), cameras and the development process. Whether you like to need out like myself or you're new and need some assistance, this is a great place to come.
