Kodak: Behind the Scenes

Kodak invited Studio C-41 to get a small preview of what it takes to make Kodak Film. We travel through the Kodak Factory in Rochester, NY. Along the way, we learn a little about George Eastman and how he democratized photography. We then travel through the finishing facility learning about the three phases in making Kodak film.

To all the employees at the Kodak Factory. Thank YOU for the amazing work you do to continue Kodak's legacy. Seeing the work they put in to keep film photography alive is nothing short of amazing.
