THIS IS A personal documentary project that captures the journey of rediscovering and reviving a vintage Minolta Autopak Super 8 camera, initially found in a thrift store in Wisconsin for just $5. This project blends the thrill of physical film photography with the complexity of film videography.
SUPER 8 FILM REEL ONE, 2021

Partnering with Pro8mm, a company renowned for their dedication to small format film since 1972, the footage was expertly processed and digitized.
