There was a place in Hollywood called RGB that rewound several movie stocks for still camera use. They would process it both as a film positive and as prints. When I shot stills for a production company they asked me to use movie stock for some of them and hooked me up with RGB. It was good quality Kodak film. The results seemed a bit less contrasty but more saturated than C-41 film. One of my PUG posts was shot with it. However, this goes back to the days when my monitor calibration was way out of whack, so the rendering is not very accurate.
