Mr Negative film

The Story of Mr Negative

Mr Negative is a very new addition to the film photography world, founded by husband-and-wife team Gareth and Emma in Footscray, Victoria, Australia, around 2024-2025. Neither founder came from a traditional film manufacturing background, Gareth's career was in supply chain and product design, Emma's in aviation and global sourcing, and the pair operate by appointment only from a shared business hub.

Mr Negative doesn't manufacture its own film. Instead, it builds its range by sourcing and respooling existing film stock, including genuine Kodak Vision3 motion picture film for products like the Mr Negative 250D, and packaging it under a huge catalogue of bold, sometimes cheeky product names. The brand leans heavily into design and personality, treating film photography as much as a lifestyle statement as a technical pursuit.

Mr Negative's Camera Film Ranges

With well over 100 different products in its catalogue, Mr Negative offers an unusually wide spread of 35mm colour and black and white films, mostly in the ISO 200-400 range, under names like Tattoo Flash 200, Born to Lose 200, Parental Advisory 400, Black Cat and Arcade 400. Its Silver Screen Negative 200 and Mr Negative 250D (based on genuine Kodak Vision3 motion picture stock) sit alongside the more experimental end of the range. The brand also sells cameras, film processing services and darkroom supplies.

Choosing the Right Mr Negative Film

With such a large range, Mr Negative is worth browsing for a look and a name that appeals to you as much as a specific technical spec, many of the stocks share similar characteristics but different personalities and packaging. For a cinematic look rooted in genuine motion picture stock, try the 250D. Compare Mr Negative film prices on Filmproof to find the best deal.
