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.

Here on the The Kodakery, almost every guest we talk to works on a craft passionately, whether it’s photography, cinematography, directing or typeface artistry. And this week’s guest, Charles Bieler, is no exception – he’s a winemaker. Twenty years ago, he began a tour in a pink Cadillac to spread the word about the rosé his family had been making. Now, in 2019, he’s on the road again and make a quick stop at Kodak to discuss his wine. You’re going to learn some things about rosé you probably didn’t know while growing an appreciation for the thought and history behind all of Charles’ wines.
