Film Ferrania
The last heard from Film Ferrania was a tweet on July 15th, with random scenes from the factory. The last news update was on May 14th, in Meet Daniele. Hopefully, they are making progress now that summer is over. While some people on the Kickstarter site are not happy with the introduction of P30 B&W film and no E6 film rewards to date, getting a regular production of P30 might keep the factory running and increase the chances of a run of transparency film. This is a truly monumental project that involved reclaiming equipment, refurbishing an entire building and figuring out how to produce film from scratch.
Silberra
The last update for the Silberra project was December 23rd, last year. Your blogger was a backer for this project, so will not be commenting further.
One Instant
The One Instant has been posting updates all summer, the last was on August 29th. There is also a counter showing the number of instant film packs that have been manufactured. On September 9th, the counter showed 1321 packs made. On August 29th, when the counter was introduced, it was listed as having 985 packs made. There are supposedly 18,000 packs to be produced. So, if the Kind Reader were to do the math, it is going to take a while for all the packs to be made at this pace, but they are making progress!
pixl-latr
The pixl-latr project has regular updates, the last on September 13th, which detailed a hiccup with the making of plastic injection molded parts. While Paterson, the big-name maker of photographic equipment such as Paterson developing tanks for film, Benbo tripods, lighting and more, has been helping out on the project, even their experience and knowledge is not enough to get the project on track. This just illustrates how difficult even a seemingly simple project can really be. Good luck to Hamish Gill, of the 35mmc blog - a blog to follow if the Kind Reader follows film related blogs.
ChromaGraphica
The ChromaGraphica project was fully funded just on September 10th. The project will produce film holders for large format dry plates (glass negatives). Best wishes to this project, and may they make some spares for those whom missed the opportunity to buy holders during the campaign.
