Film Is Not Dead

In a previous life I worked as a photographer and cinematographer. I loved film. I loved that you really had to know what you were doing to get a usable result. You had to understand how film worked. You had to understand light, shadow and an H and D curve.

Now digital photography is the norm. Most of the photographers I knew who were adamant about film in the '80s and '90s have now embraced digital. But in New York City (and elsewhere) there are a group of die-hard filmophiles that refuse to give up using film cameras. This short film features several and the services that support them.

Kodachrome may be gone, but just like buggy whips, film is here to stay.
