Red Dragon Film Lab was founded in 2021 by a group of passionate film photographers with one goal in mind: to become Auckland’s fastest and most affordable film drop-off lab.

In a world dominated by digital images, we believe film still has a soul worth preserving. That’s why we’ve built more than just a film lab — we’ve created a community space where people can gather, share, and stay inspired through analogue photography.

We proudly offer C-41 color film development in just 1–3 days, making it easier for you to keep creating without long waits. For black & white, slide, and specialty films, we process with care and speed to get you the best results possible.

What sets Red Dragon Film Lab apart:

• Fast turnaround: C-41 rolls developed in 1–3 days.

• Affordable pricing: We make shooting film accessible to everyone.

• Community spirit: We're a space where film photographers can connect and grow.

• Serious about quality: Every roll is handled with precision and respect — whether it's your first or your fiftieth.

Join us at Red Dragon Film Lab and be part of keeping film alive and thriving in Auckland.
