Film Ferrania has
released more news. Sadly, a domino effect of cascading events is slowing them down. First, asbestos was found in the LRF building where the film will be manufactured. This led to the shutdown of the building until remediation could be completed. However, in that time, the supply of steam to the building was cut off, necessitating the installation of new boilers at the building. No steam, no power, so it was necessary. By this time, though, the emulsions that were prepared earlier had expired and the weather had changed.
The film needs to cool and solidify the emulsion layer before it can be wound into a roll for later cutting to size. Due to the warmer weather, this now requires chilling equipment to be installed that was not planned until September. The first run was planned for cooler temperatures that did not require this equipment.
Despite these setbacks, Ferrania continues to plan to release its Kickstarter products, just on a different timeline.
