Me and Faysal have spent the day printing the black and white 35mm roll from the shoot in the dark rooms. They all came out really well with a few surprises, we pretty much printed all of them although there are a few that we will not use; one image in particular where 3 / 4 of the image is consumed with darkness and only the treeline above the bodies can be made out could be used to suggest a paranormal end to the cult!! They came out really contrasty and we didn't assign much formality to the border of the prints to emphasise the amateaur processes of the characters own dark room work.
It is pretty exciting to see the first result from the shoot coming together and a good step towards the finished installation. In a similar way to the processing a few days ago, it was great to be back in the dark rooms printing which I haven't had much time to do in ages.
