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 on Instagram and be sure to subscribe to this show!
