Shooting film since he was 14 Michael Crouser, this weeks guest, has photography in his bones. His images are honest and beautiful and his latest work, Mountain Ranch, is no exception.  Shot completely on Kodak Professional Tri-X film, Michael spent 10 years documenting the lives of cattle ranchers in Colorado. His patience and attention to detail, similar to that of the lives of the ranchers, produced stunning images of this disappearing lifestyle. Michael explains this project and shares his life’s story as a photographer.

This week we’re happy to welcome Levi Bettwieser, founder of The Rescued Film Project. Levi takes undeveloped rolls of film that either he finds, or someone donates, that would have otherwise been forgotten, and develops them at home- giving them that final step that they always deserved. He talks with us about what sorts of photos he’s found, why this has become a passion and what can be learned from these images.

In this episode we’re talking to filmmaker Britton Caillouette. He’s worked with a great list of clients like Patagonia, Ford, Coors and most recently Stumptown Coffee Roasters for a film called Wax & Gold. We narrow in on that project in particular, breaking down the film format and stock choices and how they played a role in telling the narrative of the culture in Ethiopia, the birthplace of coffee. We also talk about his work with Patagonia shedding light on the building of dams in the Balkans for his film, Blue Heart. Britt is an interesting, thoughtful and creative guy, so listen in and hang out with us for the next hour or so.
