The analog film fund making celluloid accessible

In the words of Oscar-winning cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema ASC NSC FSF (Oppenheimer): “To all aspiring filmmakers out there, please try shooting with that incredible, new, hip thing called ‘celluloid’. It’s much easier than you think and it makes things look so much better.”

From Hollywood to indies, music videos to commercials, celluloid film is rightly enjoying an exciting revival. It’s music to the ears for those of us who are desperate to ensure analog film never becomes “a thing of the past”.

Part of its survival is dependent on the medium being accessible for upcoming, indie filmmakers. And that’s why Silver Screen and Kodak, along with Cinelab Film & Digital, Arri Rental and Company 3 and The Film Festival Doctor have teamed up to support short film creatives. This ultimate analog film fund dramatically reduces the costs involved when shooting on film.
