Buying film stock in NYC?

Hey, all-

I'm looking to buy some Super 8 film here in NYC. I know there are plenty of places I can order from online, but if there's somewhere here in the city I'd like to just go pick it up as I have the next couple days off.

New to film - some info please

Hey, everyone- I've been a digital filmmaker for a few years (studied digital media in school with a focus on video and animation), and I've decided to start learning some of the ins and outs of film. I have a pretty decent knowledge of video and still photography.

I just picked up a canon 514xl ...
