About Us: Direct-to-Film Transfers
Our Journey and Mission
Direct-to-Film Transfers (DTFT) was founded in 2017 with a vision to bridge the gap between cinematic magic and digital accessibility. We are a passionate team of film enthusiasts, technologists, and storytellers on a mission to preserve and promote the art of Direct-to-Film transfers—a process that brings the beauty of silver screen cinema directly to your digital devices.
Our journey began as a response to the growing demand for high-quality, legally accessible film content.
