Sean Baker Takes Letterboxd to Get a 35mm Anora Print Made

[@samfilmkid]

Now THIS is what I want to see more of on this channel. The lists are cute and fine, but I want to see more stuff like this in the future!

[@oy3ah2025]

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: the intro is ahhhh-ma zinnnngggg

[@Driv3rMadness]

Absolutely agree!

[@ThisIsOfficiallyCinema]

This is fire we need more of these type of videos

[@apolloforabetterfuture4814]

2:07 I love Sean being a sound guy for letterboxd Lol

[@GrindhouseFunhouse]

Very educational watching the process of getting 35mm prints in this day and age for a very worthy movie. If the roadshow came to my town, I definitely would've watched Anora again from one of those prints.

[@TwistVisuals]

That last shot of him carrying his film's reels. Wow! Something that's so tangible like this can't really be replaced

[@Knulppage]

People don't seem to understand how distinct and important film is. It captures the light and color in a way that digital cannot match at the moment. If it can, it's only a simulation of film at best. Film has its limitations, but it has a natural, unique, and random beauty.

[@DaddyDaughterMovieNight]

Love seeing this sort of thing. I used to drop off/pickup film at Monaco labs in SF every day and got a little inside view of the operation, but this is was quite insightful. And made me feel nostalgic!

[@filmwitchpod]

Love this!!! More of this sort of thing please! ❤️🎥

[@shotsndocs]

Awesome. More of this please!

[@IndiephantomSofaSinema]

Sean Baker is a true filmmaker.

[@jamesestrada7956]

I saw a print at Chicago’s music box theater. I drove from Grand Rapids Michigan to catch it. I’m so glad I did, it was one of the best movie going experiences in my life! Please if you can, catch it on film! Stunning!

[@marshallh7785]

Thank you for uploading this. Sean has been my favorite Director working in recent years and I'm glad that Anora looks like it will be so popular. Hope it stays in theaters long enough I can see a print

[@mygodu]

the way this man has made me fall in love with films over and over again from takeout to prince of broadway to starlet to tangerine to florida project to red rocket ahhhhhhhhh i can’t wait for ANORA!!!!

[@wimsadmojo]

So cool to see behind the scene like this!

[@farcushenderson]

I love this business and I am here for the nerdiness Sean brought to this. A true fan of the medium, and a savant for indie filmmaking.

[@Kevon420]

I am SO excited to see Anora!!! I really hope it’s a hit for Sean so he can work with bigger film formats like VistaVision and 65mm for his future projects…he is a treasure for the American cinema.

[@KyleMiko]

This is fantastic to see, glad to see the film passion still very much alive!

[@NavajoJoeFilms]

Fascinating! I wish I watched Anora on 35mm!!

[@ericellsworth9852]

I was just at fotochem a few weeks ago to get my 16mm film developed and scanned. The results were great. It’s also surreal to see a video on KZbin and be like, “Hey, I know that hallway!😂”

[@antisocialhorrorclub]

I know that has to be a great feeling walking out with your film in 35mm like that at the end.

[@sonnybobbie22]

I love Sean and his work ❤

[@EposVox]

This was a joy. Thanks for sharing this

[@slickerflynn]

this was so fun 🥹

[@burgesssam]

Sean the sound man 😆

[@dominey]

I could have watched an hour of this

[@cinemanuggets24]

Sean Baker is the man

[@magicknight13]

Love it!!!!!

[@Leekio934]

Yeah like what everyone is saying we need more educational videos like this about film!

[@megacrusader]

exactly the list videos seem like more general celebrity stuff

[@peterproductions5015]

This is so dope!

[@AVillaBeats]

A great segment by Letterboxd and as a music artist/producer, this is the equivalent of me getting my album manufactured & pressed on vinyl. It’s an amazingly fulfilling process for a creative.

[@markr7083]

This man is the 🐐

[@smartideas-pedro1690]

This is great content.

[@GrantSteenholdt]

Great video idea!!

[@lukemueller844]

First movie I watched on 35mm!

[@RiFFi1955]

Excellent video!

[@gcfournier3386]

Awesome

[@KavaliSaikumar-q9i]

This is great❤

[@deeeeeej]

we love flynn slicker

[@George_Nakhle]

More of this

[@Taeki]

Cool, please more of that stuff. Left a sub

[@Knulppage]

I found this video because I was always confused about whether or not a movie is edited in digital and made into a 4k digital master or if it was done another way. I seem to remember the movie Good Time having a 35mm print somehow made without a digital intermediate, but I don't remember the details. Unfortunately, like I found with 'Soho,' the 35mm print was made from a digital source. I guess it would look different from a digital projection, but it still undergoes a conversion that limits the information. Looking forward to seeing this movie even if I don't make it to 35mm at Music Box Chicago.

[@hmfs97]

I wish it was longer, so hard to get that info by the people who work with film development

[@BrennanMartin]

Very cool, the only thing I wished to see, is how much those prints cost lol

[@Lisa-fk2mb]

so cool!!!

[@gonzaloballatefinalet5935]

best video ive seen

[@gonzaloballatefinalet5935]

thx to everyone involved!

[@Kevin-Kempis]

No big deal, just walking out of the Fotokem building with a masterpiece.

[@VariTimo]

Like a little boy: “Well I hawen showt on the larwge format.” Would love to see a Sean Baker 65mm movie!

[@felipejoya7897]

❤🎬🎞🎥📽

[@georgiaboy2023]

for the love of the (film) game

[@lcs-1]

the way sean is a cutie

[@DanielWhite-v4e]

hyped for the next rian flick

[@killianwallace6135]

What a NERD. ❤

[@naurriana]

awkayyy papi

[@NWRJ]

Ewwwww 🤢

[@rickyrougs]

always found it weird theyre called colorists

[@shitpostheavy]

😂😂😂😂

[@Armakk]

Celluloid is a terrific capture medium and a terrible projection medium, I'll die on this hill. As they're saying in this video, the color on every print is different, they degrade and wear out with repetition. It turns the director's vision into basically the equivalent of graffiti. I want to see the director's vision, as intended, not with the randomness of answer prints and projector wear & tear. Roadshows like this are nostalgia not cinephilia.

[@laurencewhite4809]

""Use film if you can" What a stupid advice to give to a filmmaker in 2024. We need to separate from the film nostalgia, seriously guys! There Is literally no advantage of using film, not even the look. You can make your digital footage, with the advantage of shooting flat, to look like literally anything, from horrible VHS footage to crystal clear digital, to grainy film. There is no reason to use actual film anymore.

[@TheWhitePianoKeyProductions]

Plus the dangers. Julie Zwijgt would be 15 min longer, if they hadnt have to deal with bad film that they only noticed in development. So much filming time just lost

[@shitpostheavy]

BOOOOOOO

[@fireball43]

“If you can” lmao. This isn’t Tarantino. It’s the guy that shot a feature film on an iPhone. He even tells people to try to get an interesting image out of digital any way you can. Seems pretty reasonable. If the producer says I can shoot a project on film, why wouldn’t I, especially if it works for the project?

[@leviccas_9294]

There's literally no advantage of painting over taking photos, so why do people still paint?
