It probably has to do with "Building 38" ...
But if I read it correctly, there’s not much money being made to date.
There are a lot of opinions here about how to run this kind of business, but who actually has experience with that kind of scale... nobody I imagine.would the APUGER'S buy it? So we can make film, chemicals and paper. That's what we need right?
I post without comment a link to an Australian industry newsletter that arrived in my inbox just a little while ago.

I agree with you there! We know we need the film but we also know no company can make profit making film only for us APUGERS. Let alone many of us want to pay next to nothing for film. So I do understand it's hard to have a business making film.There are a lot of opinions here about how to run this kind of business, but who actually has experience with that kind of scale... nobody I imagine.
How much are you in?I want to start a private equity fund whose whole mission is to keep analog photo methods alive. Using my fancy web browser, I learned all I need to know to do this by googling https://www.investopedia.com/articles/markets/100515/how-start-your-own-private-equity-fund.asp ... Invest your 401ks and IRAs with me and you might not beat the returns on an index fund, you might - nay - you probably will lose money, but you'll have a hand preserving a great medium. Who's in and for how much?
How much are you in?
Thee are some other strange references in that article. The cash amount that the UK pension plan paid was wrong (what the article has as a dollar amount may very well have been the amount in Euros or pounds). The article also refers to Eastman Kodak doing the manufacturing of colour paper for Kodak Alaris - Eastman Kodak doesn't make paper, but the old Eastman Kodak plant now owned by Caresteam (or co-owned by Carestream and Kodak Alaris - it isn't clear) does.I found this statement in the above report:
"The KPP2 pension fund currently has a deficit of £1.5bil ($2.7 bil)..."
Well, as of today, 1.5 billion English pounds is worth less than $2 billion dollars. I wonder what else they got wrong.

Noooooo!
We want someone else to make it for us.
And we want it CHEAP.
And we want it GOOD.
And we want to BITCH about it.
And we want it to LAST FOREVER.
And we don’t have anything to do with it.
That’s what we want.
