"Christie clearly remembers the steep learning curve of film photography because she doesn't skip steps or assume knowledge you don't have yet. Honest, helpful, and incredibly thorough without being too overwhelming."

"Bought a vintage camera at a thrift store and had zero clue what I was doing!! This guide took me from totally lost to confidently shooting my first roll and actually loving the results. The lab communication tips especially helped me where I was really struggling.”

"The section on metering and exposure alone justified the investment. I've been shooting film casually for a year but plateaued until I found this resource. My scans finally match what I envisioned when pressing the shutter, and I'm not guessing anymore. Practical wisdom from someone who genuinely shoots, not just teaches."

"No gatekeeping is right. As someone who felt intimidated by the film photography community, this guide was refreshingly straightforward and welcoming. Christie writes like she's sitting next to you, explaining everything in a way that actually makes sense. Worth every penny."

"I've been following Christie's work for years, and when she announced this guide, I knew I had to get it. Her photography has always inspired me, and now I finally understand how she achieves those stunning results. It's like a pipeline into the mind of someone whose style you've admired forever, I’m really happy. The real-world examples using her actual shots made everything a lot clearer than generic tutorials ever could."
