Following Polaroid's bankruptcy in 2008, their legendary instant film was on the brink of disappearing for good. But not for long...a team of heroes banded together and formed the Impossible Project, purchasing whatever Polaroid machines they could get their hands on and claiming their last factory remaining on Earth. In this episode, we tour through this miracle factory, the amazing place where Polaroid was ultimately rescued and continues to be produced today.
This was truly a dream come true and I'm thrilled to present to you a comprehensive look at the processes and people that make Polaroid possible. Additional interviews and segments will be published on my Patreon in the coming weeks! You can subscribe here: Patreon.com/InAnInstantChannel

On this episode we get the incredibly rare opportunity to shoot with Kodak Instant Film, a product that has not been produced for 35 years and been considered completely defunct. This stunning working pack of film was acquired by a deceased Kodak employee who had been cold storing it, and then sent to us by Mike Thibault who discovered it was function and donated the final shots to the show. You can find Mike at @chronologeek.
