In the Kodak Motion Picture Catalog, call the number under "US Film Pickup Location". I have gotten short ends and re-cans from them in the past for cheap. They even gave me an email with a direct contact with a guy at Kodak who seems to handle this type of thing.

That will never happen as photochemical finishing more or less doesn't exist anymore.. We're lucky to have the negative and print stocks that we have for as long as it lasts unfortunately.

While I mostly agree, it's possible for someone like Christopher Nolan to get Kodak to re-introduce 2393 if there was enough money to back it. It's not like they are making a new stock, just re-engineer a stock that existed a decade ago

I know this is about 2383, but the discontinued 2393 (Kodak VISION Premier) was really something else. The blacks were so deep, like looking at an OLED or laser projector. The data sheets gave some data that would help understand 2383 and 2393, but as a simple comparison, the dynamic range of the cheaper 2383 is closer to an LCD backlit display, while as I mentioned above, 2393 is much closer to an OLED display. I have seen The Godfather on 2393 (as well as a Wreck-It-Ralph trailer I own) and it was an experience. If only Kodak brought it back, Nolan would go for it in a heartbeat.

Great video editing Jake!

I still cannot tell if the camera captures directly to film, or if there is a digital intermediate that exposes the film later, like some of the Instax have been doing.
