When I called forde/Alpha Cine on thursday (yesterday) the staff person
who anwered the phone told me all the machines had been moved over from
Forde and they were up and running for super-8 processing. she also
seemed a bit flustered & unsure about some basic technical questions I
was asking about super-8 stocks and processing. of course there are
going to be some start up bugs, but it made think twice about sending
in my super-8 film just yet.
I don't know much about Alpha Cine, but I'm guessing its a bigger more
industry oriented lab?

Subject: Forde Labs update
I just got off the phone with Forde. Rich is in the middle of moving
processors over to the new Lenora St address (Alpha Cine). Rich, Matt
and
Heather are all moving over to the new facility.
I hope the quality of work will remain high in addition to Alpha's
ability
to be flexible with prices (which Forde was not). Apparently, they will
continue will all speciality services, inlcuding reversal and B/W neg.
