16MM CHARLESTON
Welcome to 16mm Charleston, a visual journey crafted by Mitch Lucas and produced by Projectomat. Our Instagram page is dedicated to celebrating the raw, unfiltered beauty of Charleston’s surfing scene through the timeless medium of 16mm film. Each short, looping reel—lasting no more than 6 seconds—captures the essence of the waves and the surfers who ride them, all filmed with an Arriflex SR camera and vintage lenses using Kodak’s classic 16mm film.
Beyond our surfing reels, we also share a curated selection of 35mm photographs that highlight the charm and character of the surrounding Low Country. Through this blend of moving and still images, 16mm Charleston seeks to cultivate a community of enthusiasts who cherish the artistry of film and analog processes.
Join us in exploring and preserving the tactile beauty of film while immersing yourself in the vibrant surf culture of Charleston. Dive into our feed and experience the nostalgia and richness that only analog can offer.
