16mm Silent Film Transfer. 2K
Real People. Real Experience. Right Here in Dayton. (Huber Heights)
At Curtis Media Transfer, your 16mm movie films never leave our shop. We’ve been converting film to digital for over 20 years, and all transfers are done locally at our Huber Heights location—never outsourced, never shipped away. Every reel is hand-cleaned and inspected by experienced professionals who know how to spot issues before they become problems. We use professional-grade, frame-by-frame scanning for a clear, flicker-free, 2K result. If a reel is blank or too damaged to transfer, you’ll get an immediate refund — no hassle. Best of all, you can walk in, speak with a real person, and trust that your memories are in careful, local hands.

Google Reviews
At Curtis Media Transfer, all work is done in-house — nothing is shipped out, and nothing is outsourced. Unlike many others, we’re a full-time, family-run storefront located in the Grove Park Office Suites in Huber Heights. You don’t need an appointment. Just stop in during our regular hours: Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM, and Saturday from 10 AM to 1 PM.
We return your original media safely after transfer, and we’re always available to talk face-to-face. We’re not a side gig in someone’s garage — we’re a real business with real roots.
