Monsoon 35mm Film - Looking Back at Dubble's First Range Expansion
It was approximately 6 months into their first year of existence and Dubble Films had already built a great reputation for consistent and interesting creative films. But they weren't satisfied with 'just' their first two emulsions: Sunstroke and Moonstruck. Instead they wanted to continue pushing the boundaries with new and more complex tints to help film photographers create cracking images. And so two new films were conceived, developed and released into the world. Let's start with Monsoon.
Moonstruck 35mm Dubble Film - The Birthday Celebrations Continue
We return to our conversations with Adam from Dubble to discuss the second emulsion that he created: Moonstruck 35mm. This was released at the same time as Sunstroke on the 31st October 2017 (read yesterday's article all about Sunstroke here) so is coming up to it's 1 year birthday along with the Dubble Film company itself. A very different film to Sunstroke, let's explore where it came from.

What a treat! A conversation with two of our favourite Austrians in the whole world: the dynamic duo behind revolog films. revolog was one of the first brands to merge colour effects and exceptional branding to build a loyal fanbase of photographers. We sit down with Hanna and Michael to understand a little bit more about what drives them to invest so much time and energy into film photography and specifically what inspired revolog.

Flying the Flag for Foma Film
Guest Blog by Svein Olaf Humberset: When you are just starting out shooting film you quickly get introduced to a company that makes cheap film: Foma (or Arista EDU Ultra in the states). The low price lets you learn and mess up without breaking the bank, and soon you are ready to move on to "real" films. But are the big brand films really a step up from Foma? I want to argue that Foma films are some of the best films out there.
