Olivia Wilde Tours Kodak's 35mm Film Lab for 'The Invite'
Olivia Wilde, director and star of the film 'The Invite', recently toured Kodak's 35mm film lab in New York City to see how motion picture film is processed. The film, shot on 35mm, stars Seth Rogen, Penelope Cruz, and Edward Norton, and takes place over a single night in a San Francisco apartment. During the tour, technicians demonstrated the development process: prebath, three minutes in developer, stop tank, wash, bleach tank, another wash, fixer, wash, and a 10-minute dryer. Then, in the negative assembly room, Bob splices the film and punches a hole for a physical marker. Wilde chose 35mm to evoke the richness and texture of classic films that inspired her.
