#PhxFilmRevival (Darkroom & Studio)

HELP US BRING A DARKROOM & STUDIO TO PHOENIX, AZ!!!

    Film is more than just an image. It is a process. It is dedication. It is thought and planning and execution. An image on film is crafted. It is personal. In a world of instant gratification and perfection, film stands apart. Film takes time. It is real. It is tangible. It isn’t simply about capturing every moment, it is about capturing a moment. It is special and unique.

     Film is important and is worth saving. It teaches us the rudimentary processes of photography, a work ethic and an appreciation for the craft. From the simplicity of a pinhole camera to a twin lens reflex, the basics are uniform. In order to produce a film photograph you need knowledge and understanding. An image from film is earned.

     Phoenix Film Revival seeks to provide that opportunity for all film enthusiasts and professionals alike, from those who have never seen an enlarger to those who have been shooting film for decades.

 
Our Goals:

     The film community in Phoenix is in dire need of a communal space to work, learn and share their passion with one another. Phoenix Film Revival seeks to establish a fully functional darkroom lab, workspace and resource center for all photographers, regardless of experience. It will also harbor a professional working environment by housing a studio, learning center, digital lab and gallery. Educational resources through the learning center will include literature, instructional guides, structured video tutorials, staff and fellow experienced film photographers. Phoenix Film Revival will build community through group meetings, online forums and other social formats. A referral program will also help connect photographers with models, makeup artists, hair stylists and creative directors.



Your Donations Will:
     
     Donations to Phoenix Film Revival will build the foundation for the darkroom. Your donations will aid first and foremost in securing and establishing an accessible space for film photographers to safely and efficiently do what they love. The darkroom will have adequate ventilation, emergency stations, proper lighting, professional enlargers and sizeable sink. The digital lab will need computers, printers and film scanners. Studio equipment and supplies(such as educational literature, chemistry, photographic paper, etc.) will also be made possible through your donations.
