Welcome to In An Instant...LIVE. Well, recorded live, with a lovely studio audience. We set up the studio on stage and welcomed an all-time rotation of guests only possible thanks to the summit that is PolaCon NYC. The roster of stars includes John Reuter and Harriet Browse from the 20x24 Studio, Ruben Oude Nijhuis from Polaroid, Lou Noble from The Photographic Journal, and Kyle Depew from Brooklyn Film Camera. We play games, talk film, fire off some trivia, and have one heck of a time!
Thank you to Natt McFee (@nattmcfee) for his work on this live production, as well as Bret Watkins (@intothepolaroid), Nick Marshall (@monodistortion) and Pete Madden (@petemaddenjr) for manning cameras! Also shoutout to this awesome crowd who made the show particularly special, what a surreal experience.

Get your popcorn ready. Today we dial back the clock to explore the journey of the original Polaroid palette: black & white. Together with a noir film following the travails of an In An Instant host from the past, we explore the darling path of monochrome Polaroid history.
Nights of Monochrome stars Dorian OBrien, written & directed by Ben Fraternale, with cinematography by Natt McFee, sound by Claire DiCiuccio, and production assistance from Lauren Brown.

Today we sit down for a long-form interview with two legends of the game. Florian Doc Kaps is the man who saved Polaroid film in 2008 with his company The Impossible Project, which is now once again named Polaroid. Once Doc moved onto his next venture of saving packfilm, he teamed up with our other guest, Chris Holmquist, who made the dream of reviving peel apart film a reality.
