Kat and Everett from FridgeFilm joined the Camera Clara live stream last week, and it was one of the most fun episodes we’ve done.
If you don’t know them yet: they’re two LA-based film photographers who develop film in the most chaotic places imaginable, film the whole process, edit it with great energy, and post it on YouTube. Think about Spider Man asking for 50 bucks (lmao), a Scientology security guard showing up and challenging them in their matching blue jumpsuits while trying to evangelize the church, chemicals flying inside a UHAUL at 7am (LMAO), red wine as a film developer, camo faces paint in the woods, a bucket melting onto someone’s arm in LA traffic, and much more fun!
The content is awesome in the best way, and the technique is actually solid.
We talked about temperature tolerance in C-41 (more forgiving than most people think), what happens when developer gets exhausted, and what it actually feels like to invert blix and dev by mistake (I’ve been there).
They also dropped some news: a FridgeFilm original film stock is coming soon, with pre-orders opening shortly. Name and box design are still under wraps.
Watch their videos on YouTube and follow them on Instagram at @fridge.film. I’m already planning a New York collab with rowboats on the Central Park lake. They’re in.
YOU don't wanna miss this episode, I guarantee you will have a good time watching it!
Thank you SO MUCH Kat and Everett, you rock!
