its a bummer we can't buy directly from yall. cause we're paying the markup from a third party retailers which ends up not being that inexpensive compared to competitors 🙁
Hi Jeff. The reality is that it would not be any cheaper because the cost of handling small orders and the cost of shipping would eat up any of those savings you are imagining. Film has a very low margin for the retailers and they make it possible for you to buy a small amount at a time. We can be less expensive than the competitors but the reality is that we buy film from very large companies and convert it and distribute at a lower cost, but we can only be so much less expensive than they are..... or they stop selling us film.
@@davemarshall9302 Yes, this is true, but the markups in Europe for your film have gone up - partially because there is higher demand than supply for your peoducts. Since Alaris price hike of Ektachrome (now at 30€ a roll retail prices, 1.5 times its USA retail price), and Kodak starting to refuse sales of 400 ft rolls to private persons even through its resellers, and Fuji not being able to supply slide film, the prices of your E6 film has hiked too in Europe. And it is not available regularily, or is sold with heavy limits per buyer (2 films per client or similar).
Howdy, I went to the website to see about buying some film and it says you only sell to retailers and not individuals? Is this true? Very disappointing if so!
We are a manufacturer and distributor, we leave the retail sales to the 150 stores that are dedicated to retail service. Direct to consumer requires a completely different structure that we wouldn't have the reach for.
What about slide film? Or us who prefer to shoot in medium or large format? Seems like the future is pretty bleak.... Ooops sorry. Just googled your company: "...is a manufacturer of 35mm film"
You had me until that recycling comment. Using plastic is not the brag you think it is. Also, the audio is awful, would a decent lapel mike or boom operator be too expensive? Gotta cut costs everywhere I guess.
Yes it is something to brag about here in oil country. Did you miss the part about the difficulty in obtaining the material for metal cassettes? We could always try manufacturing them out of crushed fiberglass from wind turbine blades. I hear there's more than a few of those buried around Alberta.
Thanks Flic Film for all the products, big fan of your Chrome 100 and Black White and Green Developer!!!!
Absolutely my new favorite channel. Awesome job guys!!!
Just shot my first roll of Aurora! Stoked to get the results back!
I hope you grow faster so your films could visit to my country too 🙏🏼
What country is that? Perhaps we will be there soon
You guys rock! Love your films :)
Why thank you, you are always very positive about our products in your videos, it is appreciated
Thanks guys!
cheap film from a Canadian company? Colour me interested!
I need to take a trip to Longview!
Do you ship to Germany?
We will have a European distributor in about three weeks, the first shipment is going out next week.
I like the host’s moustache. Suits him
Are you a storefront as well?
I stop often out there at a certain beef jerky shop 🤠
We do not do retail sales, no storefront
@@davemarshall9302 No sweat! Thanks for the reply
Still no c41 individual chemicals though. Why can't we get c41 fixer without buying a kit?!
You can, most of the stores selling our products sell fixer as a stand alone productm Flic Quick Fixer
@@davemarshall9302 please direct me to one, because I cannot find any here
