BBC Breakfast did a 10 minute feature on the resurgence in film photography this morning at around 8:50, revisited again just before the programme ended at 10am. They featured people from The Film Safe and Come Through Lab talking about how there's an upswing in interest in film, mostly driven by the 15-30 age group. Another takeaway is that the film photo industry is expected to grow to £300m pa by 2030. They spoke with the representatives of the labs about cameras, the challenges of film photography and why people are taking it up - including young folk trying film for the first time and older people resuming usage of film.

Nice to see some mainstream attention.

I was able to watch a 90 second clip of this of The Facebook, so nice to see young people involved with film. Even us more "seasoned" folks rediscover things analog. I just received my RZ67 Nons Instax square back, what a hoot!
