My last 2 films (Nice People + Homewrecka) could not have been as visually beautiful without my use of Kodachrome.The only lab left in the world (Kansas) that was developing the film stock for artists like myself has now declared its discontinuance. Its unfortunate demise. A very sad day for artists. The Kodachrome stock was known to have a "color" archival rate of over 100 years when stored inside a freezer :(
