I purchased a kit of these, and did some testing to see how they compared to other more expensive brands.

The resurgence of digital camera technology in recent years has meant DSLRs are now widely used by the masses, pulling the future of film photography into question somewhat. Is it now just a novelty?

We reached out to the director of the film, Stu Thomson, to ask a few questions about the making of this project.
