While some film making crowd funding projects have gone silent, ahem - Silberra - the Film Ferrania project has produced a couple of short clips showing their, perhaps meagre, progress so far. One cannot imagine that the funds from the original Kickstarter campaign have survived the past 5 years, but the project certainly should receive accolades for perseverance.
Your blogger has sampled some of the early P30 production thanks to the online shop, and from the few shots that were exposed and developed correctly, the film is just amazing. In the cameras your blogger used, an EI of 100 seemed to produce better exposed photos. Ferrania rates P30 at ISO 80.
The Film Ferrania team introduced Antonio to the team back in March and Daniele last week. Antonio was formerly a technician with the original Ferrania and brings experience with the materials and procedures for making film.
While Daniele is a machinist who will be updating and maintaining the machinery in the plant. Some of the parts are of quite high precision and require experienced hands to maintain.
Hopefully, the team will actually start producing film for backers and for sale, before the money runs out and creditors come to the doors.
