About the lab

An independent lab, family run since 2001

Legacy Digital Productions was founded by Scott Foster in Orange, California in 2001 and is still family owned and operated. Scott still does the work himself.

Every scan happens in our own building. Nothing is sent to a third party, which is why we can tell you where your material is at any point and why the queue we quote is genuinely ours.

Work you may have seen

Alongside family collections, our transfers have been used by CBS, ABC, Disney Animation, Paramount and Sony. The same equipment and the same hands do both.

Why the boring parts matter

More than 125,000 reels of film have been through this lab without losing a single item. That number comes from unglamorous discipline: logging every item at intake, handling by hand, tracking under chain of custody, and returning originals in the same shipment as the files.

None of this is reprintable. That fact shapes everything about how the lab runs.

Rather hand it over in person?

Bring your reels to the lab and talk to the person who will actually scan them. Send a photo first and we will tell you what you are holding.
