What happens when a digital-native filmmaker buys their first analog camera—with one of Europe’s top film nerds as their guide?
This is the behind-the-scenes of Framing Time, but it’s also the story of how I went from knowing nothing about analog photography to buying my first real film camera—guided by Juho Leppänen and the crew at Camera Rescue in Finland.
We travel by ferry to Tampere, navigate thousands of pieces of vintage gear, and in the middle of filming a documentary… I suddenly find myself on the other side of the lens. With Juho’s help, I test cameras, expose my first rolls, and try to figure out what kind of analog photographer I might become. It’s part vlog, part journey of rediscovery, and part reflection on what it means to slow down, preserve memories, and make something that lasts.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by digital chaos or curious about getting into analog photography—this film is for you.
