"Bringing yesterday back to life — one reel, one tape, one photograph at a time."

C3 Collective is a small, local studio in Honeoye Falls, NY. It started with a box of our own family's film we couldn't watch — so we built the gear, learned the craft, and now treat every family's archive the way we wish someone had treated ours: carefully, in person, and like it mattered.

“He did a beautiful job capturing our memories and very helpful teaching us how to operate the end result! I absolutely recommend C3 Collective!!”
★★★★★ — Kathy B., via Facebook

“Colby does a great job. I highly recommend to anyone who wants to preserve their most cherished memories. Can't wait to do more.”
— Anna C., via Facebook
