Cameras/Old film developing

Question
My wife came across an old Bell & Howell Directors Series Zoomatic video camera with film inside. I was wondering if you had suggestions on where to get the film developed and where I might be able to get replacement film if they still make it.

Answer
Christopher,

You can find film here:
http://www.8mmfilmstock.com/color8mmfilm.html

Processing can be done at Rocky Mountian Film Lab:
http://www.rockymountainfilm.com/

But...  it's really not practical to run those things.  I don't think anyone is actually making film anymore.  Processing is expensive and it is VERY hard to find a working projector.  Even folks who find projectors usually can't find bulbs for them.

Expertise

I can answer questions about point and shoots and 35mm SLR`s from the 1960s to present. I can also handle most questions on digital cameras from "camera" makers, like Nikon, Olympus, Canon, Sony, etc. Though usually I`m not too familiar with the driver interface, as 3rd party devices for download are more efficient. Sorry, but I can no longer answer questions about the value of old cameras.

Experience

I'm an "expert" under photography. I've many years experience in photo retail.John and Chris
