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.
