Time will tell. MY opinion is that a lot of people when confronted with the rising cost will give it up. Others will look at the results and say, "What was I thinking?" We shall see.

Good news.

Facts on the ground. Kodak is gone. You pretend to report the words of imposters.

You would do better to stick to BS about companies on the far side of the planet.

I think costs will be the deciding factor ultimately. Secondary will be lack of overall control. Just my .02

I will tend to stay with digital because it is less expensive and gives instant feedback ….. and because Kodachrome is gone forever {of course, it was an environmental disaster}.

You just keep showing us all here in UHH your complete lack of ANY knowledge of any facts, or having done even rudimentary research on any subject before you spew forth your vitriol.

Kodak restructured and never went away. They have never stopped making motion picture film, color and B&W film chemistry, and photo printing paper (Our university buys it and I use it in my university 35mm film courses I teach), and a few other consumer products. Certainly they are far from being the global giant they once were, but also far from being gone.

But no one here in UHH would ever accuse you of knowing the truth and reality about anything, LOL.

You are sadly just comic relief.

Cheers and best to you.

Kodak is still making motion picture film. When Hollywood comes to its senses, Kodak will finally go completely under. A few rolls of 35mm and 120 film won't save it.

Some top Feature film directors stand fast in preferring the look of motion picture film to that of digital. It is all aesthetic preference. Nothing to do with Hollywood coming to its senses.

FYI when director George Lucas was the first to use digital cameras for a major motion pictures many years ago, everyone thought that would be the end of film in filmmaking, but it was not. And some directors and directors of photography prefer to shoot on film, just as some prefer digital filmmaking cameras.

Cheers and best to you.

The only people shooting film in 2022 are fossils, the idle rich and hipsters from Brooklyn.

Some directors have been around since before digital was available. They've mastered film. They use film. I think it's just a comfort zone for them. I really wonder if younger directors coming up will continue this tradition.

Well hipsters like top Award-winning directors Quentin Tarrintino, Christopher Nolan and others swear by film for their movies. I find them far hipper than you, LOL.

I’m not from Brooklyn nor am I ever rich, so I must be a “fossil” on occasion.

Some young filmmakers are shooting with 16mm and 35mm film, as those cameras can be less expensive to own. The young directors of the TV show "Westworld" shoot that on film for that special look they want

Did you know that even top director JJ Abrams' "Star Wars, The Rise of Skywalker" was shot on 65mm Kodak film, and then digitized for the special effects.

No one is saying film will ever come back to dominate again, but dont dismiss it as dead either. It is still a valid medium for artistic expression.

Cheers and best to you.
