About FPP
The Story of FPP
The Film Photography Project was founded in 2009 by Michael Raso in the United States, growing out of a podcast and online community dedicated to keeping film photography alive. What began as media and community content, podcasts, videos and a busy online forum, expanded into an online store offering hard-to-find film, cameras and darkroom supplies.
FPP isn't a film manufacturer in the traditional sense. Instead, the team sources surplus and unusual film stock from various origins, including former Soviet manufacturers such as Svema (Ukraine) and Tasma (Russia), along with motion picture and industrial film, then hand-rolls, respools and repackages it into ready-to-shoot cassettes under FPP's own distinctive branding. This rescue-and-repurpose approach means every batch can behave a little differently, part of the appeal for photographers who enjoy unpredictable results.
FPP's Camera Film Ranges
FPP's horror-movie-themed film names hint at the fun, experimental spirit behind the brand. Dracula 64, WolfMan 100, Mummy 400 and Frankenstein 200 are colour and black and white stocks in 35mm, 120 and large format, each with its own character drawn from the source film stock. FPP BW IR offers infrared-sensitive black and white for creative effects, while Derev Pan 100/400 and Tasma NK-2 100 continue the brand's tradition of reviving obscure Eastern European emulsions.
FPP Svema Color 125 and the ultra-slow FPP SUN Color (rated at ISO 1) sit at the more experimental end of the range, alongside Super Positive Film, a black and white reversal stock for those chasing true slides.
Choosing the Right FPP Film
If you want a reliable everyday roll, FPP isn't really the place to look, this is a brand for photographers who enjoy character and a little unpredictability. Try Frankenstein 200 or Mummy 400 for general colour shooting, Dracula 64 for fine-grain daylight work, or FPP BW IR for creative infrared effects.
