Cinelicious is the newest thing in old film restoration. Using our cutting edge technology, brand new 4K Archival Film Scanner and multidisciplinary, data-centric approach to film restoration, the titles we work on end up looking and sounding more beautiful than when they were first seen in theaters. But unlike many restoration services, having a good technical tool-set isn’t all that matters. At Cinelicious, we believe that’s only half the battle… finishing up a technically meticulous restoration with incredible creative and a discerning eye for color.

For large libraries we offer much more than restored, high resolution masters. From Digital Vaulting to Metadata and Digital Asset Management to Web & Mobile Device review we leverage a broad range of emerging technologies to not only provide finger-tip, mobile, and smart-search access to library content, but also a strategy for longterm digital storage and a path to monetization. Contact us for more information.

From the boutique purveyor of fine films who just needs a Blu-Ray remaster of a cult classic, to a large institution looking to preserve their historic film library at 4K for the future (but wants to review it on their iPad today), to a Major Studio with an upcoming A-Title Anniversary Release who needs a mind-blowingly beautiful 4K restoration of a piece of Hollywood History… Cinelicious is the studio that has the tools, talent and vision to breathe new life into old film.
