FAQ

Wow, you guys made your own film?!

If by made you mean painstakingly roll Kodak Double-X motion picture film into recycled canisters for your enjoyment, yes, we made a film.

Is this expired?

Nope. This is fresh Double-X motion picture film straight from Rochester, New York, spooled on demand for still photography and set aside for a different purpose. We’re using recycled canisters, so it’s a win win for not only you, but our good friend the environment too.

What’s the difference between “rebranding” this film and what other companies do?

Our process and product is completely transparent and is an effort that benefits the film community as a whole.

1. We do not obfuscate the origin of the film

2. We do not make false claims regarding the ISO

3. The product is considerably cheaper than any other source in Australia

4. All product details including the original name are published on our website and the canister.

In short, there’s no confusion about what you’re getting.

Is this the same film as Cinestill BWXX?

Yep. It’s exactly the same film, just a little cheaper because we don’t have to pay shipping multiple times or for external labour. This film is re-spooled all across the world by multiple companies including Cinestill, Film Photography Project and Whatevergraphy.

Damn, that’s a shiny sticker. Is that silver glitter?

Yes it is.

Why did you choose this film?

Double-X is an amazing film, just not particularly accessible due to the price. It was our goal to bring the price down around other films so people shoot more of it. Double X has remained unchanged since 1959. It is a classically grained, medium speed black and white film mostly used in movies.

Most recently it was used in The Lighthouse, starring our good friend Willem Dafoe and Damon Langley. Others include: Raging Bull (1980), Schindler's List (1993), Stranger Than Paradise (1984), Memento (2000), Kafka (1991), Casino Royale (2006), I'm Not There (2007), Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003), Manhattan (1979), Cinderella Man (2005), Aferim! (2015), Frantz (2016), American Horror Story (2011-2017) and many many more.

Double-X is an excellent choice for those looking for a classic film stock to fill the void left by the discontinuation of it's wonderful sister films, Kodak Plus-x (We still have some of this on the store!) and TXP320.
