Which city hosted the laboratory that processed The Odyssey's 65mm negative?

The story behind the answer

Burbank hosted the laboratory that processed The Odyssey’s 65mm negative.

The film was processed at FotoKem in Burbank, California. More than 2 million feet of 15-perf 65mm negative were shot for the production, creating an unusually large volume of material for a modern feature.

FotoKem was described as the last film laboratory producing 70mm prints. After processing, the negative was scanned and converted into high-resolution digital files so editor Jennifer Lame could make initial cuts.

The post-production workflow later returned to physical film. The negative was cut and spliced by hand, while color grading used analog color filters on a light table. This combination made The Odyssey a notable example of a film using both digital editorial tools and traditional photochemical finishing.
