    Looking Back, Moving Forward - The Story of Phoenix Film Revival

    In this special episode, Stacy turns the tables and interviews Daniel about the origins of Phoenix Film Revival. They reflect on the early days, from building community connections and signing the lease on Grand Avenue to launching their very first sold-out workshop. Daniel shares the inspiration behind starting a community darkroom in Phoenix and the key milestones that helped shape its growth. • The conversation dives into Stacy's journey with PFR, how the lab brought them together, her role in organizing, curating, and co-hosting events, and the fulfillment of growing the space side by side. They also talk about the challenges and pivots brought on by COVID, the rebirth of the podcast, and the revival of their gallery space under a new name: Up Close Gallery. With the recent expansion into Jeff's side of the building, Phoenix Film Revival is embracing even more opportunities to support photographers through exhibitions, events, and a second community photo book. Tune in for heartfelt stories, laughter, and a glimpse into what's next. • Stay up to date on all things film! Follow @phxfilmrevival on Instagram and be sure to subscribe to this show!

    From Dewey to the Darkroom with Christian Marcum

    This episode spotlights Arizona native and film photographer Christian Marcum, the creative force behind Film Is Dead Studio. Christian shares his path from growing up in small-town Dewey to becoming a key part of Phoenix's analog revival. He reflects on his early days in the darkroom, how building a tiny home setup reignited his love for the process, and why he's fully committed to black-and-white film. Christian also opens up about his transition from casual shooter to serious artist, how overexposure changed his approach to printing, and the deeper emotional connection he finds in analog work. With a solo show and photo book on the horizon, Christian talks about what drives his art and the value of staying intentional in a fast-paced digital world.
