Episode 139: SING SING with director Greg Kwedar and DP Pat Scola by The Kodakery

This week we're talking with filmmaker Andy Dunn and curator Carrie Scott about a phenomenal photographer that you might not know about: Harold Feinstein. Harold began shoot in the '40s and his images are as powerful today as they were back then. We talk about what place his photography has in history and how Andy and Carrie have both been instrumental in keeping Harold's story alive. https://www.feinsteinfilm.com/

This week we’re joined by Jason Filmore Sondock and Simon Davis- two directors that work together under the name Rubberband.

This week we’re happy to welcome Levi Bettwieser, founder of The Rescued Film Project. Levi takes undeveloped rolls of film that either he finds, or someone donates, that would have otherwise been forgotten, and develops them at home- giving them that final step that they always deserved. He talks with us about what sorts of photos he’s found, why this has become a passion and what can be learned from these images. www.rescuedfilm.com

In this episode we’re talking to filmmaker Britton Caillouette. He’s worked with a great list of clients like Patagonia, Ford, Coors and most recently Stumptown Coffee Roasters for a film called Wax & Gold. We narrow in on that project in particular, breaking down the film format and stock choices and how they played a role in telling the narrative of the culture in Ethiopia, the birthplace of coffee. We also talk about his work with Patagonia shedding light on the building of dams in the Balkans for his film, Blue Heart. Britt is an interesting, thoughtful and creative guy, so listen in and hang out with us for the next hour or so. www.brittoncaillouette.com www.farmleague.us www.farmleague.us/team/directors/britton-caillouette/work/waxgold/ https://blueheart.patagonia.com/

While shooting their own photography work, Brian and Brandon Wright discovered that they loved the look that motion picture film offered and set off to be able to get that look in their still photography. So, since they had figured out how to hand roll 35 mm motion picture film into normal 35mm still film cassettes, they started shooting with it. But developing it, became tricky. They joined us in the studio to talk about why it was challenging and what they did to not only find a solution but to also make it accessible to the rest of the world. www.cinestill.com www.instagram.com/cinestillfilm

This week, Stephen Schaub joined us in The Kodakery. Stephen is an inventive photographer who doesn’t let existing cameras or processes hinder his expression. He tinkers, modifies, tweaks until he’s able to express himself in the best way he can. He talks with us about how he makes his multiple exposure work, about printing on unique paper and what drives the narrative he tells with his work. www.stephenschaub.com
