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.
