Film Magazine Revival

16mm film was commonly used to record live studio events before VCR recording technology. This gave reruns and many home copies of movies a certain feel to them that many people find nostalgic. In the modern age film manufacturing companies are few and far between, some even working secondhand. One of the first parts of this project is to try and find a sustainable film material made of recyclable elements.
