Here at The Camera Store, we really like film. Many of our customers do too. In fact, in 2021 we kept selling out of many types. It’s not an exhaustive list, but here are some of the staff favourites and our most popular 35mm stocks, along with a few left-field options.

Mark your calendars, because May 15th, 2020 is the day you can watch the locally created and TCS supported short film, A Walk Down To Water! It was written, directed, edited and produced by Calgary native, Levi Holwell, of Leftside Pictures, alongside an array of other amazing artists. This short focuses on an immigrant employee, who after finding out one of the guests at the motel he works at has passed away, is waiting for the ambulance. Diving into thought-provoking and universal themes, A Walk Down To Water, takes you on an emotional journey through beautifully created cinematography.

So instead of writing each a note, and with more time on my hands than I’m used to, I started making a series of videos about taking photographs with a large format camera.
