Synopsis

What happens when you give a photo, instead of just taking it? This documentary will explore this question, using the magic of instant film. I’ll take to the streets of my hometown, photographing the people I meet. We'll share the anticipation as the film develops in front of our eyes, and then I'll give them the image I create. The significance of this exchange is something I experienced firsthand when I brought instant film to Peru, and photographed the folks I met there. Now I want to bring viewers with me, so they too can see the magic of photography, and the powerful experiences you can have when you share instant film with others.
