Who Wants a Free Roll of 35mm Flim?

We heard that a couple friends were going around the country distributing free rolls of 35mm film and curating the best submissions into a photographic exhibit showcasing the theme ‘Red, White, and Blue’. By the time they got to Los Angles, they had already been all around the country, so we knew they had some stories to tell. We linked up with them one day where their airstream was parked in Venice and shot a mini-doc with them. The most interesting thing about this project is how creative people got with the American theme. Beyond objects that are those colors, the photos dove deeper into the greater themes that represent the United States of America.
