Daniel shares the inspiration behind starting a community darkroom in Phoenix and the key milestones that helped shape its growth. • The conversation dives into Stacy's journey with PFR, how the lab brought them together, her role in organizing, curating, and co-hosting events, and the fulfillment of growing the space side by side. They also talk about the challenges and pivots brought on by COVID, the rebirth of the podcast, and the revival of their gallery space under a new name: Up Close Gallery. With the recent expansion into Jeff's side of the building, Phoenix Film Revival is embracing even more opportunities to support photographers through exhibitions, events, and a second community photo book.

This episode spotlights Arizona native and film photographer Christian Marcum, the creative force behind Film Is Dead Studio. Christian shares his path from growing up in small-town Dewey to becoming a key part of Phoenix's analog revival. He reflects on his early days in the darkroom, how building a tiny home setup reignited his love for the process, and why he's fully committed to black-and-white film. Christian also opens up about his transition from casual shooter to serious artist, how overexposure changed his approach to printing, and the deeper emotional connection he finds in analog work. With a solo show and photo book on the horizon, Christian talks about what drives his art and the value of staying intentional in a fast-paced digital world.

We are back for another season of The Phoenix Film Revival Podcast! And what better way to start it off than to hear from various film photographers in the Phoenix community?! On Sunday, January 28th we hosted our first film photography meetup of the year and had over 90 people come out to celebrate. Stacy and I opened up the lab to hang out and connect with the community. Our friend Aaron Markus (@8amfilms) came through to DJ in the back courtyard. Stacy coordinated a photo scavenger hunt along Grand Ave. I put together a slideshow with photos from various photographers and Tonissa helped check everyone in for the giveaway.  We also wanted to hear from the community and let folks hop on the podcast for a few minutes to share what camera they brought, what film they were shooting and what their film goals are for 2024.
