from? 95 00:06:48,904 --> 00:06:51,938 Yeah, somehow the Doc is a leftover 96 00:06:51,973 --> 00:06:55,106 from my scientific studies. 97 00:06:55,141 --> 00:06:56,547 It was very easy. 98 00:06:56,582 --> 00:06:58,945 My parents didn't put any pressure on me. 99 00:06:58,980 --> 00:07:03,521 They just said, "Whatever you do, be the best doing it." 100 00:07:03,556 --> 00:07:06,755 So, pretty soon I found out 101 00:07:06,790 --> 00:07:09,087 that the only chance for myself 102 00:07:09,122 --> 00:07:10,957 being the best doing something 103 00:07:10,992 --> 00:07:13,960 is if I do things that nobody else is doing. 104 00:07:13,995 --> 00:07:18,998 So I am the world's most important 105 00:07:19,869 --> 00:07:21,935 spider eye muscle expert. 106 00:07:24,808 --> 00:07:27,677 My father always asked me, "What is this all for?" 107 00:07:27,712 --> 00:07:32,715 And so basically the Doc is the only outcome from back then. 108 00:07:33,517 --> 00:07:36,114 So this title I carried on since then. 109 00:07:37,590 --> 00:07:39,986 I always tried to look at things differently. 110 00:07:40,021 --> 00:07:42,494 When everybody was running in this direction, 111 00:07:42,529 --> 00:07:44,628 I thought, hey, maybe it's cool 112 00:07:44,663 --> 00:07:45,871 to look in the other direction. 113 00:07:45,895 --> 00:07:47,994 60 centimeters. 114 00:07:52,803 --> 00:07:55,936 Oh yeah, that's good, it start blinking. 115 00:07:55,971 --> 00:07:58,510 Again without mineral, good sign. 116 00:08:05,816 --> 00:08:09,851 10 years ago, Doc had found a new calling. 117 00:08:09,886 --> 00:08:13,723 While we were all salivating over our first iPhone, 118 00:08:13,758 --> 00:08:16,792 Doc decided to resist. 119 00:08:16,827 --> 00:08:19,597 He became the self-appointed 120 00:08:19,632 --> 00:08:22,567 patron saint of all things analog. 121 00:08:22,602 --> 00:08:27,605 Step one, he set up a venture selling expired Polaroid film. 122 00:08:28,234 --> 00:08:31,301 It was called Unsalable. 123 00:08:31,336 --> 00:08:33,710 My theory is that the biggest difference 124 00:08:33,745 --> 00:08:35,041 between digital and analog 125 00:08:35,076 --> 00:08:36,812 is the fact that digital 126 00:08:36,847 --> 00:08:39,947 always just tickles two of your senses. 127 00:08:39,982 --> 00:08:42,884 It's always I can see it, I can hear it, 128 00:08:42,919 --> 00:08:44,886 but it's always behind the glass screen. 129 00:08:44,921 --> 00:08:47,658 So I cannot really touch it, 130 00:08:47,693 --> 00:08:48,560 I cannot smell it, 131 00:08:48,595 --> 00:08:49,759 I cannot lick it. 132 00:08:49,794 --> 00:08:54,731 So it only, you know, it's nothing real. 133 00:08:55,867 --> 00:08:58,768 And therefore the young generation, who grew up digitally, 134 00:08:58,803 --> 00:09:01,573 there's so much longing for this real thing 135 00:09:01,608 --> 00:09:03,905 they can touch, caress, hold in their hand, 136 00:09:03,940 --> 00:09:05,709 that they can fully sense. 137 00:09:05,744 --> 00:09:06,908 It was the beginning 138 00:09:06,943 --> 00:09:10,307 of an unlikely business adventure. 139 00:09:10,342 --> 00:09:11,342 You know, 140 00:09:13,015 --> 00:09:17,017 I often tell stories that 141 00:09:18,625 --> 00:09:21,153 are not 100% true, 142 00:09:21,188 --> 00:09:24,959 but this one really is 150% true. 143 00:09:39,206 --> 00:09:43,340 Do you have your Polaroid Colorpack Camera? 144 00:09:43,375 --> 00:09:46,948 In the '70s and '80s, Polaroid was everywhere. 145 00:09:48,655 --> 00:09:53,053 And even today, we all recognize that classic white frame 146 00:09:53,088 --> 00:09:55,022 of a Polaroid instant photo. 147 00:09:56,190 --> 00:09:59,928 But in 2008, the cultural icon 148 00:09:59,963 --> 00:10:03,393 was a mere shadow of its former self. 149 00:10:03,428 --> 00:10:06,836 No one believed analog photography had a future 150 00:10:06,871 --> 00:10:10,202 and all Polaroid factories were being closed down. 151 00:10:22,150 --> 00:10:27,153 All but this last one in Enschede in The Netherlands. 152 00:10:28,089 --> 00:10:29,991 Once churning out millions of packs of film, 153 00:10:31,027 --> 00:10:33,126 it was about to vanish. 154

even less about running a business, 164 00:11:33,452 --> 00:11:36,354 but he had a vision. 165 00:11:36,389 --> 00:11:39,258 This factory must be rescued. 166 00:11:39,293 --> 00:11:42,800 It was beautiful and important. 167 00:11:42,835 --> 00:11:46,903 What everyone else saw, "Doc, that's impossible." 168 00:11:46,938 --> 00:11:49,939 My wife said, "Don't go there, give up on it." 169 00:11:51,140 --> 00:11:54,273 But I went there and you know, the machines, 170 00:11:54,308 --> 00:11:57,012 all of them were still in perfect shape. 171 00:11:57,047 --> 00:12:01,918 So I said, "There is still a chance. 172 00:12:01,953 --> 00:12:04,085 We have to try it." 173 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,791 So I went to the Polaroid management say, 174 00:12:06,826 --> 00:12:08,353 "Do you really want to kill it 175 00:12:08,388 --> 00:12:10,828 or do you want to give it for adoption 176 00:12:10,863 --> 00:12:12,489 and you know, we take care of it?" 177 00:12:12,524 --> 00:12:14,227 So when Florian came in and said, 178 00:12:14,262 --> 00:12:17,769 "I want to buy this film factory in Enschede, Netherlands, 179 00:12:17,804 --> 00:12:19,969 don't wind it down", 180 00:12:20,004 --> 00:12:21,443 to the owners of Polaroid corporation, 181 00:12:21,467 --> 00:12:22,873 it was a no-brainer to say, 182 00:12:22,908 --> 00:12:24,281 "Sure, if you want to take it over, 183 00:12:24,305 --> 00:12:26,206 it saves our wind down costs." 184 00:12:28,309 --> 00:12:31,112 The crazy thing is they said, "You have one week. 185 00:12:31,147 --> 00:12:34,016 We have an agreed scrap value of the factory parts 186 00:12:34,051 --> 00:12:35,820 for 180,000 Euro. 187 00:12:35,855 --> 00:12:37,415 So if you sign the agreement 188 00:12:37,450 --> 00:12:40,121 and transfer me the 180,000 Euro, 189 00:12:40,156 --> 00:12:40,957 the factory is yours." 190 00:12:40,992 --> 00:12:43,025 So that was it. 191 00:12:43,962 --> 00:12:46,358 I didn't have the 180,000 Euro, 192 00:12:46,393 --> 00:12:48,558 but I immediately started to make 193 00:12:48,593 --> 00:12:50,362 something like a business plan. 194 00:12:50,397 --> 00:12:52,397 They loved the business plan. 195

00:13:36,410 --> 00:13:38,542 where they continued to tell me, 211 00:13:38,577 --> 00:13:39,477 "This is impossible. 212 00:13:39,512 --> 00:13:40,478 This is impossible. 213 00:13:40,513 --> 00:13:41,380 This is impossible." 214 00:13:41,415 --> 00:13:45,351 So it was just, 215 00:13:47,124 --> 00:13:50,862 I gave up and said, "Yeah, let's call it Impossible." 216 00:13:50,897 --> 00:13:55,559 So Polaroid was reborn as The Impossible Project 217 00:13:55,594 --> 00:13:58,430 which would prove an interesting choice of name. 218 00:13:59,499 --> 00:14:02,467 Nevermind, the beginning was fabulous. 219 00:14:02,502 --> 00:14:05,844 Life was returning to the factory. 220 00:14:08,442 --> 00:14:09,573 ♪ You can swing ♪ 221 00:14:09,608 --> 00:14:10,574 ♪ You can fail ♪ 222

--> 00:14:25,061 It was really a hard year. 226 00:14:26,526 --> 00:14:29,164 Everybody thought that it was impossible 227 00:14:29,199 --> 00:14:31,430 to get it all running 228 00:14:31,465 -->

Europe's startup capital Berlin, 235 00:15:19,678 --> 00:15:23,581 where he found a team of well digital natives 236 00:15:23,616 --> 00:15:26,958 who shared his belief in the magic of analog 237 00:15:26,993 --> 00:15:31,655 or at least succumbed to his unrelenting enthusiasm. 238 00:15:31,690 --> 00:15:33,558 I would love to say that all of this 239 00:15:33,593 --> 00:15:36,693 was part of a very clever strategy 240 00:15:36,728 --> 00:15:40,664 based on my extended studies in business. 241 00:15:40,699 --> 00:15:43,271 It's not quite true to be honest. 242 00:15:43,306 --> 00:15:46,472 Basically it just happened. 243 00:15:46,507 --> 00:15:48,243 This wasn't nostalgia. 244 00:15:48,278 --> 00:15:52,049 This was about rediscovering the value of real things, 245 00:15:52,084 -->

00:16:07,759 --> 00:16:11,431 thought about the beginning of instant photography. 252 00:16:11,466 --> 00:16:14,368 I look forward to the dream 253 00:16:14,403 --> 00:16:19,406 of being able to take

00:17:55,174 --> 00:17:56,206 We are twins. 287 00:17:57,605 --> 00:18:00,309 Am I doing the talking all alone? 288 00:18:00,344 --> 00:18:01,344 No I can do it. 289 00:18:03,908 --> 00:18:07,184 The

00:18:15,689 --> 00:18:16,788 Fucking crazy. 293 00:18:16,824 --> 00:18:17,788 And he was like, "You know it, you know it, you know it, 294 00:18:17,823 --> 00:18:19,163 it's so cool." 295 00:18:19,965 --> 00:18:21,407 I've never been to the factory before 296 00:18:21,431 --> 00:18:23,629 so it's super new experience for me. 297 00:18:23,664 --> 00:18:27,237 Doc saved the factory from closure 298 00:18:27,272 --> 00:18:29,140 and kept all the sort of old machines 299 00:18:29,175 --> 00:18:30,867 and had to look at the reformulation 300 00:18:30,902 --> 00:18:33,507 of the new films for Impossible. 301 00:18:33,542 --> 00:18:34,343 Oh look at this. 302 00:18:34,378 --> 00:18:35,905 Everything's painted. 303 00:18:35,940 --> 00:18:37,874 Wow, wow, wow, wow. 304 00:18:37,909 --> 00:18:40,283 This is incredible. 305 00:18:40,318 --> 00:18:41,251 Hi. 306 00:18:41,286 --> 00:18:42,516 Hello. 307 00:18:42,551 --> 00:18:46,718 Oh, the godfather of camera repair. 308 00:18:46,753 --> 00:18:48,588 This is like heaven. 309 00:18:51,296 --> 00:18:52,328 Oh Betsy. 310 00:18:56,928 --> 00:18:59,434 She missed me, you know? 311 00:18:59,469 --> 00:19:02,305 If only there weren't the problem 312 00:19:02,340 --> 00:19:04,373 with the Polaroid formula. 313 00:19:04,408 --> 00:19:05,935 It was tragic. 314 00:19:05,970 --> 00:19:07,706 Doc had bought the factory. 315 00:19:07,741 --> 00:19:10,247 He got the machines back from scrap metal 316 00:19:10,282 --> 00:19:12,942 and persuaded the workers to return. 317 00:19:12,977 --> 00:19:15,285 But then they discovered 318 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,684 that the formula to actually produce Polaroid film 319 00:19:18,719 --> 00:19:21,324 had been lost forever 320 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,294 because the chemicals didn't exist anymore. 321 00:19:24,329 --> 00:19:25,195 Instant film 322 00:19:25,230 --> 00:19:28,727 is the world's most chemically complicated 323 00:19:28,762 --> 00:19:30,828 man-made product ever. 324 00:19:30,863 --> 00:19:33,600 There's never been a completely manmade product 325 00:19:33,635 --> 00:19:36,306 that is more chemically complicated than that. 326 00:19:36,341 --> 00:19:37,406 Doc and his team 327 00:19:37,441 --> 00:19:39,870 were continuing to make instant film, 328 00:19:39,905 --> 00:19:44,578 but their product was, well, awful. 329 00:19:44,613 --> 00:19:46,382 Colors were all over the place, 330 00:19:46,417 --> 00:19:48,483 bits of the image would disappear 331 00:19:48,518 --> 00:19:52,388 and a photo took 45 minutes to develop. 332 00:19:53,017 --> 00:19:54,017 It wasn't pretty. 333 00:19:55,019 --> 00:19:56,392 Oh my God. 334 00:19:56,427 --> 00:19:57,536 You know, we had this killer crystals 335 00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:58,889 and we had leaky pods 336 00:19:58,924 --> 00:20:01,595 and we had pictures disappearing. 337 00:20:01,630 --> 00:20:02,827 I don't understand, 338 00:20:02,862 --> 00:20:03,872 the film worked or it didn't work? 339 00:20:03,896 --> 00:20:04,697 Of course it worked. 340 00:20:04,732 --> 00:20:05,962 It was perfect, 341 00:20:05,997 --> 00:20:07,667 but you know in a very special way. 342 00:20:09,341 --> 00:20:11,968 Well, yeah, I mean there was many skeptics. 343 00:20:12,003 --> 00:20:14,443 We had a lot of people that we were still talking to 344 00:20:14,478 --> 00:20:16,973 who were long-time Polaroid veterans 345 00:20:17,008 --> 00:20:19,778 and they all said that it'll never happen. 346 00:20:19,813 --> 00:20:20,911 There's no way. 347 00:20:20,946 --> 00:20:22,517 Oh my God. 348 00:20:22,552 --> 00:20:24,321 This is an innovative product 349 00:20:24,356 --> 00:20:26,455 'cause the images disappear. 350 00:20:26,490 --> 00:20:29,359 This is, you know, one of the very first images 351 00:20:29,394 --> 00:20:31,361 and everybody was super excited 352 00:20:31,396 --> 00:20:33,990 that we get any result at all. 353 00:20:34,025 --> 00:20:36,729 But it was also the beginning of us understanding 354 00:20:36,764 --> 00:20:39,402 that there are a lot of challenges in front of us. 355 00:20:39,437 --> 00:20:42,471 Nevertheless, we said, "Please support us 356 00:20:42,506 --> 00:20:44,374 and go on this journey with us. 357 00:20:44,409 --> 00:20:45,870 We don't want to fuck you 358 00:20:45,905 --> 00:20:49,313 but this is an adventure and this is what we can do." 359 00:20:51,042 --> 00:20:52,525 When he first launched the first film, 360 00:20:52,549 --> 00:20:54,483 we analyzed it and it was terrible. 361 00:20:54,518 --> 00:20:55,715 I mean it really was. 362 00:20:55,750 --> 00:20:57,486 The images looked like ghosts 363 00:20:57,521 --> 00:20:59,488 and these weren't of good quality. 364 00:20:59,523 --> 00:21:00,951 And so it was disappointing to us. 365 00:21:00,986 --> 00:21:02,590 We were really hoping it would be great. 366 00:21:02,625 --> 00:21:04,053 But I think Florian didn't realize 367 00:21:04,088 --> 00:21:05,725 just how complicated it was. 368 00:21:07,025 --> 00:21:09,531 There were two customers in the beginning. 369 00:21:09,566 --> 00:21:10,499 The one said, 370 00:21:10,534 --> 00:21:14,536 "Ooh, yeah it was nice before it disappeared." 371 00:21:14,571 --> 00:21:16,670 And the other one said, 372 00:21:16,705 --> 00:21:19,442 "Call me when you really make film." 373 00:21:30,983 --> 00:21:32,785 It would take them years 374 00:21:32,820 --> 00:21:34,050 to reinvent the formula. 375 00:21:38,727 --> 00:21:42,091 But Doc wasn't going to be stopped easily. 376 00:21:42,126 --> 00:21:43,664 He traveled the world 377 00:21:43,699 --> 00:21:46,832 in search of fellow believers and converts 378 00:21:46,867 --> 00:21:49,637 and there was some good news. 379 00:21:50,904 --> 00:21:54,510 Doc could see signs of analog coming back. 380 00:21:57,548 --> 00:21:59,482 In New York, advertising billboards 381 00:21:59,517 --> 00:22:01,583 were again being hand painted. 382 00:22:03,686 --> 00:22:05,950 Impossible wasn't alone. 383 00:22:36,048 --> 00:22:39,555 We're on the 22nd floor of the Sherry-Netherland Hotel. 384 00:22:39,590 --> 00:22:41,524 This is the famous GM building. 385 00:22:41,559 --> 00:22:44,428 Rockefeller Center is that way. 386 00:22:44,463 --> 00:22:49,466 And Apple, iconic Fifth Avenue Apple store 387 00:22:50,161 --> 00:22:51,600 rebuilding their glass cue. 388 00:22:51,635 --> 00:22:52,601 They're making it bigger. 389 00:22:52,636 --> 00:22:54,471 They're making it bigger. 390 00:22:54,506 --> 00:22:55,405 Doc's been a hero 391 00:22:55,441 --> 00:22:57,870 because I've followed The Impossible Project 392 00:22:57,905 --> 00:22:59,707 since it was truly impossible 393 00:22:59,742 --> 00:23:03,678 and bought the very earliest Impossible film. 394 00:23:03,713 --> 00:23:05,779 So I thought, well, I'll write this guy, 395 00:23:05,814 --> 00:23:08,749 he's iconic in the field 396 00:23:08,784 --> 00:23:11,686 and see if he responds, and you did. 397 00:23:11,721 --> 00:23:14,018 So we had the digital Skype conversation and- 398 00:23:14,053 --> 00:23:16,185 Then we changed to analog. 399 00:23:16,220 --> 00:23:18,726 And then we changed to analog. 400 00:23:20,664 --> 00:23:21,664 I love collecting art 401 00:23:21,699 --> 00:23:25,865 and I love the intersection of art and technology 402 00:23:25,900 --> 00:23:28,736 and there is an intense beauty 403 00:23:28,771 --> 00:23:32,707 I think that that has been incorporated 404 00:23:32,742 --> 00:23:34,643 in the design of analog products. 405 00:23:34,678 --> 00:23:37,074 This is a famous phone by AT&T 406 00:23:37,109 --> 00:23:40,583 from the '60s and '70s called the Touch-a-matic. 407 00:23:40,618 --> 00:23:42,717 And so 408 00:23:42,752 --> 00:23:44,213 That's the outside line. 409 00:23:44,248 --> 00:23:45,423 I have a message. 410 00:23:46,888 --> 00:23:48,866 Just so intensely beautiful in the way its designed. 411 00:23:48,890 --> 00:23:51,957 And look at the way the speaker phone is designed. 412 00:23:51,992 --> 00:23:53,123 It's very cool. 413 00:23:53,158 --> 00:23:56,093 So these are the incoming outside lines 414 00:23:56,128 --> 00:23:58,128 that are punched down on the punch down block. 415 00:23:58,163 --> 00:23:59,635 These are line cards. 416 00:23:59,670 --> 00:24:01,197 And so when I go off hook, 417 00:24:01,232 --> 00:24:03,166 then if I put it on hold, 418 00:24:03,201 --> 00:24:04,211 you can hear the interruption. 419 00:24:04,235 --> 00:24:06,741 It cycles through mechanically 420 00:24:06,776 --> 00:24:07,742 and it's very reliable. 421 00:24:07,777 --> 00:24:10,910 I mean these things were really engineered well. 422 00:24:10,945 --> 00:24:12,208 I have my housekeeper here. 423 00:24:12,243 --> 00:24:14,210 I've got the package room, et cetera, 424 00:24:14,245 --> 00:24:16,223 and you can program in all these different numbers. 425 00:24:16,247 --> 00:24:17,620 And so if you call. 426 00:24:25,894 --> 00:24:27,861 Housekeeping, good afternoon, Shelly speaking. 427 00:24:27,896 --> 00:24:28,896 Oh hi Shelly. 428 00:24:28,930 --> 00:24:30,501 Wrong number, sorry. 429 00:24:30,536 --> 00:24:31,227 There you go. 430 00:24:31,262 --> 00:24:32,800 Why do this, David? 431 00:24:32,835 --> 00:24:35,737 Well, I wanted to make telephone calls so. 432 00:24:37,675 --> 00:24:41,941 I mean it's connected to the outside world and it's ready. 433 00:24:41,976 --> 00:24:42,942 The Impossible Project, 434 00:24:42,977 --> 00:24:44,273 this was the good luck 435 00:24:44,308 --> 00:24:46,979 that all of these machines worked somehow like this. 436 00:24:47,014 --> 00:24:50,884 So if something breaks, you still can exchange it 437 00:24:50,919 --> 00:24:52,083 and you can understand it. 438 00:24:52,118 --> 00:24:53,656 It's not a black box. 439 00:24:53,691 --> 00:24:55,251 So I think this is very similar 440 00:24:55,286 --> 00:24:56,824 because it's much easier 441 00:24:56,859 --> 00:24:59,827 than all this hidden technology that we have today. 442 00:24:59,862 --> 00:25:03,292 Renaissance, okay Oskar, here we go. 443 00:25:03,327 --> 00:25:07,868 And I'll say from David and Doc. 444 00:25:10,939 --> 00:25:11,939 Great. 445 00:25:11,973 --> 00:25:13,104 Put a few stamps on here 446 00:25:14,305 --> 00:25:16,008 And then we're just gonna send this off. 447 00:25:42,740 --> 00:25:45,807 People were starting to get it. 448 00:25:45,842 --> 00:25:47,578 Analog was a decision, 449 00:25:47,613 --> 00:25:50,141 to keep something and to use it, 450 00:25:50,176 --> 00:25:53,342 a choice each of us can make. 451 00:25:53,377 --> 00:25:55,718 Right, right. 452 00:25:58,954 --> 00:25:59,986 Yes. 453 00:26:07,127 --> 00:26:08,127 Okay. 454 00:26:15,773 --> 00:26:16,805 Look at me. 455 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:17,971 Okay, that way. 456 00:26:21,075 --> 00:26:24,043 Hold and hold and stay. 457 00:26:24,078 --> 00:26:26,210 What's the camera we're using? 458 00:26:26,245 --> 00:26:31,017 You're using an Aeroflex 35 SL camera, 459 00:26:31,052 --> 00:26:34,284 probably one of the most sophisticated sync sound cameras 460 00:26:34,319 --> 00:26:35,857 in the world. 461 00:26:35,892 --> 00:26:38,794 It's a fairly lightweight handheld camera 462 00:26:38,829 --> 00:26:40,037 and we've had quite a few of them 463 00:26:40,061 --> 00:26:42,160 and they're still being used today. 464 00:26:42,195 --> 00:26:44,162 It's a 35 millimeter film camera. 465 00:26:44,197 --> 00:26:45,702 It's film, it's incredible. 466 00:26:45,737 --> 00:26:46,868 You know, we love film. 467 00:26:51,039 --> 00:26:52,973 Isn't film meant to be dead? 468 00:26:53,008 --> 00:26:55,745 Well, film is actually not dead. 469 00:26:58,079 --> 00:26:59,881 You have a nice clean frame and cut. 470 00:26:59,916 --> 00:27:02,048 You can use it as a cut and everything, okay. 471 00:27:02,083 --> 00:27:04,017 It's beautiful, beautiful. 472 00:27:04,052 --> 00:27:05,821 Now we're walking into, 473 00:27:06,923 --> 00:27:09,385 this is the safe room. 474 00:27:09,420 --> 00:27:12,223 This is where all the gold is. 475 00:27:12,258 --> 00:27:15,028 It's not gold, it's like lenses. 476 00:27:15,063 --> 00:27:16,095 They're so expensive. 477 00:27:16,130 --> 00:27:20,165 They're like gold and we love them. 478 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,069 And here they are, there are all these lenses. 479 00:27:23,104 --> 00:27:26,270 They're worth a lot of money, a lot of money. 480 00:27:26,305 --> 00:27:29,174 I would have to sell my house just to buy this, you know? 481 00:27:31,750 --> 00:27:36,753 ♪ For I was born to glory ♪ 482 00:27:38,482 --> 00:27:42,022 ♪ You kiss forever more ♪ 483 00:27:49,295 --> 00:27:52,703 The Impossible Project expanded to New York. 484 00:28:05,509 --> 00:28:08,180 Whether it's instant photography or film, 485 00:28:08,215 --> 00:28:11,315 it's a rebellion against technology making things 486 00:28:11,350 --> 00:28:13,317 too easy or too quick. 487 00:28:13,352 --> 00:28:15,055 You have a lot of things with customers 488 00:28:15,090 --> 00:28:17,222 where things don't work out with the film. 489 00:28:17,257 --> 00:28:19,862 You know, I remember having people saying, 490 00:28:19,897 --> 00:28:22,425 "Hey, my wedding was a disaster. 491 00:28:22,460 --> 00:28:24,867 The film didn't work." 492 00:28:24,902 --> 00:28:27,034 Of course, it's pretty upsetting, 493 00:28:27,069 --> 00:28:29,399 but it's one of the things you have to factor in 494 00:28:29,434 --> 00:28:32,006 with that kind of unpredictable media. 495 00:28:35,341 --> 00:28:37,209 Sure, we could all be making iPhone apps 496 00:28:37,244 --> 00:28:39,343 but to what end? 497 00:28:41,479 --> 00:28:43,446 Over time, I really had to ask myself 498 00:28:43,481 --> 00:28:46,086 why I was working for The Impossible Project. 499 00:28:46,121 --> 00:28:47,428 You know, I really came up with this idea 500 00:28:47,452 --> 00:28:49,353 that human beings, we're analog. 501 00:28:49,388 --> 00:28:51,388 And I think that's part of the reason 502 00:28:51,423 --> 00:28:54,259 why we gravitate towards analog things still, 503 00:28:54,294 --> 00:28:56,734 even though we're in this very digital realm. 504 00:29:02,071 --> 00:29:05,501 Do you think this enthusiasm for analog, 505 00:29:05,536 --> 00:29:07,470 do you think it is a passing stage 506 00:29:07,505 --> 00:29:10,407 or it is something that is here to stay? 507 00:29:10,442 --> 00:29:13,542 You know, I really think that this is just the beginning 508 00:29:13,577 --> 00:29:17,381 of a very huge rediscovery of analog 509 00:29:17,416 --> 00:29:20,087 across all forms of media. 510 00:29:20,122 --> 00:29:21,319 I have the very good feeling 511 00:29:21,354 --> 00:29:25,554 that because of the digital acceleration, 512 00:29:25,589 --> 00:29:28,458 they are really looking for a digital detox. 513 00:29:35,500 --> 00:29:37,841 Oh my God, I love that. 514 00:29:38,943 --> 00:29:40,976 I really like that one. 515 00:29:41,011 --> 00:29:41,812 How does that even happen? 516 00:29:41,847 --> 00:29:42,945 It sometimes does it. 517 00:29:42,980 --> 00:29:44,815 I think it's from the chemicals. 518 00:29:44,850 --> 00:29:46,047 That's crazy, 519 00:29:46,082 --> 00:29:48,412 like it looks a bit like it's burned. 520 00:29:48,447 --> 00:29:49,886 Sometimes it's annoying 521 00:29:49,921 --> 00:29:51,954 but mostly it really makes sense that it happens 522 00:29:51,989 --> 00:29:54,990 and you're like, wow, okay that makes it even better. 523 00:29:55,025 --> 00:29:56,420 It's so trippy 524 00:29:56,455 --> 00:29:59,896 but it balances the picture at the same time. 525 00:29:59,931 --> 00:30:02,129 Is Impossible the business? 526 00:30:02,164 --> 00:30:03,295 Absolutely. 527 00:30:03,330 --> 00:30:04,441 I'm very happy that you didn't ask 528 00:30:04,465 --> 00:30:06,408 if it's a sustainable business or a profitable business. 529 00:30:06,432 --> 00:30:07,563 Well that's what I meant. 530 00:30:08,907 --> 00:30:10,071 Not yet. 531 00:30:10,106 --> 00:30:12,304 We are still at the very beginning. 532 00:30:12,339 --> 00:30:14,075 This is suddenly the wonderful thing 533 00:30:14,110 --> 00:30:15,276 about what we are doing. 534 00:30:15,311 --> 00:30:18,882 You know everybody wants to leave some traces in this world. 535 00:30:20,446 --> 00:30:22,512 If people don't use analog materials 536 00:30:22,547 --> 00:30:23,379 then they will go away. 537 00:30:23,415 --> 00:30:26,384 So you want to sort of promote the fact 538 00:30:26,419 --> 00:30:28,221 that it's out there, that it's good. 539 00:30:28,256 --> 00:30:30,421 It's different and it's special. 540 00:30:32,095 --> 00:30:34,161 It's experiencing the real 541 00:30:34,196 --> 00:30:36,460 and not the image of something real. 542 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:46,910 So many digital products feel a little bit similar, 543 00:30:46,945 --> 00:30:49,539 so bright and the color's so good 544 00:30:49,574 --> 00:30:51,244 from even every amateur. 545 00:30:51,279 --> 00:30:54,511 People crave something that's a little weird, 546 00:30:54,546 --> 00:30:58,482 a little wrong almost. 547 00:30:58,517 --> 00:30:59,661 I'm talking about a little weird. 548 00:30:59,685 --> 00:31:02,519 I should think that's the moment to take a weird picture. 549 00:31:05,062 --> 00:31:06,457 Am I in this? 550 00:31:06,492 --> 00:31:08,228 You're in this. 551 00:31:08,263 --> 00:31:09,592 We're made of chemistry. 552 00:31:09,627 --> 00:31:11,330 Film is made of chemistry. 553 00:31:11,365 --> 00:31:13,596 When I see an image shot on film, 554 00:31:13,631 --> 00:31:15,565 I feel an affinity for it 555 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:17,633 that I simply have not been able to feel 556 00:31:17,668 --> 00:31:19,239 towards digital images. 557 00:31:19,274 --> 00:31:20,307 Photography wise, 558 00:31:20,342 --> 00:31:22,572 it's not just about the perfection of the material. 559 00:31:22,607 --> 00:31:24,673 It's about the emotion you connect with it. 560 00:31:24,708 --> 00:31:27,247 Even the people hate it, 561 00:31:27,282 --> 00:31:29,678 that there's chemistry that they have this stuff. 562 00:31:29,713 --> 00:31:30,545 Oh are you kidding? 563 00:31:30,581 --> 00:31:32,131 It's a mess, but come on, it's the best. 564 00:31:32,155 --> 00:31:34,320 Exactly, nowadays it is the best. 565 00:31:34,355 --> 00:31:35,662 You know, when I was working on the book I wrote, 566 00:31:35,686 --> 00:31:38,456 I cannot tell you how many people told me 567 00:31:38,491 --> 00:31:41,932 the smell of the reagent on the negative 568 00:31:41,967 --> 00:31:42,866 took them to their childhood 569 00:31:42,902 --> 00:31:45,628 or to some sexy time they'd had with Polaroid 570 00:31:45,663 --> 00:31:47,564 or to their grandparents' house. 571 00:31:47,599 --> 00:31:49,170 Smells are evocative. 572 00:31:51,977 --> 00:31:53,603 It's not that I think digital is bad. 573 00:31:53,638 --> 00:31:56,243 In fact, I think the argument about film versus digital 574 00:31:56,278 --> 00:31:58,344 is really old, it's kind of done. 575 00:31:58,379 --> 00:32:01,347 For me, it's keeping a choice alive. 576 00:32:02,515 --> 00:32:04,955 For technology to eliminate something 577 00:32:04,990 --> 00:32:09,025 simply because it's more convenient is really shortsighted. 578 00:32:09,060 --> 00:32:10,961 I want to look at the long-term. 579 00:32:10,996 --> 00:32:12,732 I want to make sure that people can still use film 580 00:32:12,756 --> 00:32:13,931 long after I'm gone. 581 00:32:36,549 --> 00:32:39,484 Doc's project had taken a first call. 582 00:32:39,519 --> 00:32:41,618 The film was it at last 583 00:32:41,653 --> 00:32:45,061 at least beginning to look like Polaroid. 584 00:32:45,096 --> 00:32:49,263 A photo now took only 30 minutes to develop. 585 00:32:51,762 --> 00:32:54,037 It was a kind of a honeymoon period. 586 00:32:58,604 --> 00:33:00,670 If you looked closely, however, 587 00:33:00,705 --> 00:33:04,014 you might've seen some dark clouds forming on the horizon. 588 00:33:05,182 --> 00:33:08,480 The photos were cool but expensive 589 00:33:08,515 --> 00:33:11,186 and notoriously difficult to handle. 590 00:33:19,757 --> 00:33:22,131 It was then that I got to know Oskar, 591 00:33:22,166 --> 00:33:24,232 a young engineer from New York. 592 00:33:24,267 --> 00:33:26,762 Oskar was fascinated by instant film 593 00:33:26,797 --> 00:33:30,568 and he saw a future for Impossible in the digital world. 594 00:33:30,603 --> 00:33:34,044 He was soon to become a key player on the team. 595 00:33:34,079 --> 00:33:35,375 I'm Oskar Smolokowski. 596 00:33:35,410 --> 00:33:37,674 I'm left camera right now. 597 00:33:41,086 --> 00:33:45,385 Oskar was only 22 when he joined Doc in Europe 598 00:33:45,420 --> 00:33:49,653 with the intention of learning the business from the boss. 599 00:33:49,688 --> 00:33:51,193 Can you imagine? 600 00:33:52,130 --> 00:33:53,173 I came into the job thinking, 601 00:33:53,197 --> 00:33:54,691 okay, I'm gonna learn from a CEO 602 00:33:54,726 --> 00:33:56,594 on how it's supposed to be done. 603 00:33:56,629 --> 00:33:58,431 The part I remember about my first day at work 604 00:33:58,466 --> 00:34:00,532 when we went on a ride on his motorcycle 605 00:34:00,567 --> 00:34:02,534 to eat at his favorite sushi place. 606 00:34:02,569 --> 00:34:05,834 And to be honest, I was like, what the fuck? 607 00:34:05,869 --> 00:34:08,639 I can't believe this is how you run a company. 608 00:34:08,674 --> 00:34:10,080 It's not been boring. 609 00:34:11,413 --> 00:34:12,544 You could see this 610 00:34:12,579 --> 00:34:14,348 at the World's Largest Photo Fair. 611 00:34:14,383 --> 00:34:18,121 In 2014, Impossible was still regarded 612 00:34:18,156 --> 00:34:20,222 as a charming analog outpost, 613 00:34:20,257 --> 00:34:22,851 but theirs was the busiest stand. 614 00:34:22,886 --> 00:34:24,853 This was where young people went 615 00:34:24,888 --> 00:34:26,327 and it was young people 616 00:34:26,362 --> 00:34:28,230 who were at the heart of the company. 617 00:34:29,662 --> 00:34:31,673 I was 23 when I went to the store for the first time. 618 00:34:31,697 --> 00:34:35,171 You had lines of old Polaroid cameras across all the walls. 619 00:34:35,206 --> 00:34:37,140 You know, it definitely had a magic to it 620 00:34:37,175 --> 00:34:38,383 and this kind of retro magic to it. 621 00:34:38,407 --> 00:34:40,176 So I picked up an old Polaroid camera 622 00:34:40,211 --> 00:34:42,178 and that was my first experience with it. 623 00:34:42,213 --> 00:34:44,224 You know, the first shots were all on old Polaroid cameras. 624 00:34:44,248 --> 00:34:47,414 And actually today they are still only old Polaroid cameras. 625 00:34:47,449 --> 00:34:49,163 But when you kind of get introduced through it that way 626 00:34:49,187 --> 00:34:51,649 it does have this very retro thing to it. 627 00:34:51,684 --> 00:34:56,456 But the more you play with it and you use it, 628 00:34:56,491 --> 00:34:58,524 it's less about the retro aspect of it 629 00:34:58,559 --> 00:34:59,701 and more about the experience 630 00:34:59,725 --> 00:35:00,900 of actually holding a photograph, 631 00:35:00,924 --> 00:35:02,363 letting it develop in your hand, 632 00:35:02,398 --> 00:35:03,705 which is of course an analog process, 633 00:35:03,729 --> 00:35:06,697 but it's more about the experience of it. 634 00:35:09,207 --> 00:35:11,207 I think both Doc and myself, 635 00:35:11,242 --> 00:35:13,143 we really loved the product 636 00:35:13,178 --> 00:35:15,310 and we wanted to bring it to people. 637 00:35:15,345 --> 00:35:18,181 And for me, it was always the challenge 638 00:35:18,216 --> 00:35:19,919 of how do we make this business sustainable? 639 00:35:19,943 --> 00:35:21,712 How do we give this a future? 640 00:35:21,747 --> 00:35:22,924 How do we kind of pay the bills, 641 00:35:22,948 --> 00:35:26,552 keep the lights on and keep everybody employed year by year? 642 00:35:26,587 --> 00:35:29,225 And we have this giant factory 643 00:35:29,260 --> 00:35:30,622 and to make that sustainable, 644 00:35:30,657 --> 00:35:32,888 we needed to bring the volume of the film up. 645 00:35:32,923 --> 00:35:33,889 And to do that, we needed to bring 646 00:35:33,924 --> 00:35:36,826 the quality of the film up and the prices down. 647 00:35:36,861 --> 00:35:38,927 And I think that's where the biggest difference was 648 00:35:38,962 --> 00:35:40,764 between myself and Doc. 649 00:35:40,799 --> 00:35:43,470 He really believed that the film we had, 650 00:35:43,505 --> 00:35:45,274 this imperfect one, 651 00:35:45,309 --> 00:35:46,583 people would fall in love with it 652 00:35:46,607 --> 00:35:48,244 the way he fell in love with it. 653 00:35:48,279 --> 00:35:51,379 You know, when the company started Florian famously said, 654 00:35:51,414 --> 00:35:53,876 "Anything you make in the factory, I'll sell." 655 00:35:53,911 --> 00:35:57,814 Like that's not a product people want, you know? 656 00:35:57,849 --> 00:35:59,651 People want instant analog film 657 00:35:59,686 --> 00:36:01,455 that develops quickly and looks great 658 00:36:01,490 --> 00:36:03,292 and that's what we want to give them. 659 00:36:03,327 --> 00:36:05,822 ♪ Without you ♪ 660 00:36:16,604 --> 00:36:19,308 Impossible to me was definitely heart over mind. 661 00:36:19,343 --> 00:36:21,640 Like with a lot of stuff that comes at you in life, 662 00:36:21,675 --> 00:36:23,477 you do it because it feels right. 663 00:36:23,512 --> 00:36:25,611 And that was definitely the case here. 664 00:36:25,646 --> 00:36:27,415 I felt the need to explore further, 665 00:36:27,450 --> 00:36:29,945 to connect to the project in some way, 666 00:36:29,980 --> 00:36:31,947 to talk to Doc and see if I could help. 667 00:36:39,726 --> 00:36:42,397 I always knew that I wanted to do something with products 668 00:36:42,432 --> 00:36:45,334 but at Impossible, I really figured out what that means. 669 00:36:45,369 --> 00:36:46,511 And it really means, you know, 670 00:36:46,535 --> 00:36:47,267 putting two years of your life 671 00:36:47,303 --> 00:36:49,404 into something that's gonna launch, 672 00:36:49,439 --> 00:36:51,472 endless hours tweaking the details 673 00:36:51,507 --> 00:36:53,347 and the millions of things that could go wrong. 674 00:36:53,377 --> 00:36:55,542 But it's just like with the analog process, 675 00:36:55,577 --> 00:36:58,215 the more you put in, the more you get out. 676 00:36:59,482 --> 00:37:01,350 When we took over the factory, it was like, 677 00:37:01,385 --> 00:37:02,395 let's bring this film back, 678 00:37:02,419 --> 00:37:03,715 Polaroid stopped making it. 679 00:37:03,750 --> 00:37:05,453 With the camera, 680 00:37:05,488 --> 00:37:07,917 we want to create our own kind of future for these products. 681 00:37:12,891 --> 00:37:15,298 It was very much about dreaming in the early days. 682 00:37:15,333 --> 00:37:16,574 And it needed to be about dreaming 683 00:37:16,598 --> 00:37:17,642 to get it started and off the ground. 684 00:37:17,666 --> 00:37:20,930 You needed to do stupid things like buy the factory 685 00:37:20,965 --> 00:37:22,371 to start the thing. 686 00:37:22,406 --> 00:37:24,637 But to actually bring it to profitability 687 00:37:24,672 --> 00:37:26,452 and to bring it to as many people as possible, 688 00:37:26,476 --> 00:37:28,443 you actually need to do a lot of work. 689 00:37:28,478 --> 00:37:31,974 And honestly, you know, we started doing that a year ago 690 00:37:32,009 --> 00:37:34,482 'cause before it was more about the dreaming. 691 00:37:36,849 --> 00:37:40,323 Doc and The Impossible Project captivated a lot of hearts, 692 00:37:40,358 --> 00:37:41,358 including mine. 693 00:37:42,426 --> 00:37:44,492 I mean, I suffered pack after pack 694 00:37:44,527 --> 00:37:46,395 of the early Impossible Project film 695 00:37:46,430 --> 00:37:48,694 to get those few shots worth keeping. 696 00:37:48,729 --> 00:37:51,532 But there just weren't enough enthusiasts like me 697 00:37:51,567 --> 00:37:52,896 to keep the business around. 698 00:37:52,931 --> 00:37:54,062 We had this amazing story, 699 00:37:54,097 --> 00:37:55,734 we had this amazing mission, 700 00:37:55,769 --> 00:37:56,966 but at the end of the day, 701 00:37:57,001 --> 00:37:58,451 we had a lot of work ahead of ourselves 702 00:37:58,475 --> 00:38:02,543 to make it a sustainable company or we'd be gone. 703 00:38:03,579 --> 00:38:04,579 One of the turning points 704 00:38:04,614 --> 00:38:07,449 was bringing Stephen Herchen on board around 2014. 705 00:38:08,650 --> 00:38:10,353 I mean he knows instant photography 706 00:38:10,388 --> 00:38:12,652 better than anyone on the planet now I guess, 707 00:38:12,687 --> 00:38:15,050 and actually worked directly with Edwin Land 708 00:38:15,085 --> 00:38:17,624 straight after graduating from MIT. 709 00:38:17,659 --> 00:38:19,560 And he's been instrumental 710 00:38:19,595 --> 00:38:21,991 in evolving the product to where it needs to get to. 711 00:38:27,834 --> 00:38:30,505 Actually, just that one, that one there. 712 00:38:30,540 --> 00:38:31,968 Yeah, thank you. 713 00:38:41,144 --> 00:38:42,880 While the company had to focus 714 00:38:42,915 --> 00:38:44,981 much more on viable products, 715 00:38:45,016 --> 00:38:47,720 Doc continued on his quest, 716 00:38:47,755 --> 00:38:50,822 authentic and possibly impossible projects, 717 00:38:50,857 --> 00:38:53,594 such as craftspeople swimming 718 00:38:53,629 --> 00:38:55,926 against the tide of convenience. 719 00:38:57,666 --> 00:38:59,633 We still have to really fight hard 720 00:38:59,668 --> 00:39:01,833 because still on a daily basis, 721 00:39:01,868 --> 00:39:05,375 things, machine, technologies disappear. 722 00:41:45,031 --> 00:41:45,863 We are in Berlin 723 00:41:45,899 --> 00:41:48,032 and I have some negatives from New York 724 00:41:48,067 --> 00:41:53,037 to develop my analog shots myself and experiment. 725 00:42:04,952 --> 00:42:07,018 We're living in the digital age. 726 00:42:07,053 --> 00:42:08,657 This seems like a lot of hassle. 727 00:42:11,728 --> 00:42:12,859 It's good sometimes 728 00:42:12,894 --> 00:42:15,026 to just be completely lost on your own 729 00:42:15,061 --> 00:42:18,293 in this little cave for the whole day or the whole night 730 00:42:18,328 --> 00:42:20,933 and you can't even have your mobile phone 731 00:42:20,968 --> 00:42:22,836 'cause you have a bright screen 732 00:42:22,871 --> 00:42:24,046 and it will destroy the picture. 733 00:42:24,070 --> 00:42:26,642 So I think that's very healthy, 734 00:42:26,677 --> 00:42:28,072 I don't think it's a hassle. 735 00:42:31,308 --> 00:42:32,615 I think also for your brains 736 00:42:32,650 --> 00:42:35,816 and for your physical feelings, 737 00:42:35,851 --> 00:42:38,819 just moving, doing things, looking at it properly 738 00:42:38,854 --> 00:42:42,185 and not having this weird bright light around you 739 00:42:42,220 --> 00:42:46,024 from computer screens, yeah. 740 00:42:47,225 --> 00:42:50,798 It's very calming and it's very rewarding. 741 00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:02,304 ♪ Ruffled at my base ♪ 742 00:43:02,339 --> 00:43:07,243 ♪ And it walked under my tree ♪ 743 00:43:08,851 --> 00:43:13,854 ♪ When suddenly it seemed all the fingers ♪ 744 00:43:15,220 -->

00:43:33,170 So all was well in the land of analog? 748 00:43:33,205 --> 00:43:34,336 No. 749 00:43:34,371 --> 00:43:36,811 In reality, their products weren't selling 750 00:43:36,846 --> 00:43:39,682 and Impossible was fast running out of money. 751 00:43:40,443 --> 00:43:43,081 Doc was under pressure. 752 00:43:43,116 --> 00:43:46,722 Financially, we had to find a serious investor 753 00:43:46,757 --> 00:43:48,922 to take the next steps with us. 754 00:43:48,957 --> 00:43:52,926 The candidates were not standing in line. 755 00:43:52,961 --> 00:43:55,929 Luckily, we found Mr. Smolokowski. 756 00:43:55,964 --> 00:43:58,734 Oskar back then convinced his father 757 00:43:58,769 --> 00:44:00,395 to give Impossible a chance. 758 00:44:02,069 --> 00:44:03,937 He got excited about the project. 759 00:44:03,972 --> 00:44:05,411 So I think I just forwarded an email. 760 00:44:05,435 --> 00:44:08,172 I was like, "They're not great yet, 761 00:44:08,207 --> 00:44:10,207 but this has some potential." 762 00:44:13,718 --> 00:44:16,884 Slava was a classically trained clarinet player, 763 00:44:16,919 --> 00:44:19,282 but also an inventive investor, 764 00:44:19,317 --> 00:44:22,758 which happened to be exactly what Impossible needed 765 00:44:22,793 --> 00:44:23,924 this time. 766 00:44:25,125 --> 00:44:26,125 It's analog. 767 00:44:27,127 --> 00:44:29,325 I think we needed a bit of a reality check. 768 00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:31,140 For the product to work for more than a few people, 769 00:44:31,164 --> 00:44:32,361 which was what was needed 770 00:44:32,396 --> 00:44:35,331 to kind of keep the lights on in the factory, 771 00:44:35,366 --> 00:44:36,805 we needed to do something about it 772 00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:38,235 or the whole dream could die. 773 00:44:46,344 --> 00:44:48,212 If you start to doubt your own product 774 00:44:48,247 --> 00:44:50,951 or if you don't have this 100% trust 775 00:44:50,986 --> 00:44:52,051 that comes from inside, 776 00:44:52,086 --> 00:44:53,184 it's hard to sell it, 777 00:44:53,219 --> 00:44:54,427 it's hard to convince other people. 778 00:44:54,451 --> 00:44:56,121 The problem with Oskar, 779 00:44:56,156 --> 00:44:59,157 he didn't really feel secure about the quality 780 00:44:59,192 --> 00:45:00,389 and many other topics. 781 00:45:00,424 --> 00:45:03,293 You know, I always even with the worst film, 782 00:45:03,328 --> 00:45:05,064 I say, "Wow, I love it. 783 00:45:05,099 --> 00:45:08,496 Look at these killer crystals, wow." 784 00:45:08,531 --> 00:45:10,003 It's one thing to have a dream 785 00:45:10,038 --> 00:45:11,115 and it's a very different thing 786 00:45:11,139 --> 00:45:14,040 to actually execute on that dream and build a company. 787 00:45:14,075 --> 00:45:15,811 I always like to do things 788 00:45:15,846 --> 00:45:20,849 that can go totally wrong or be super, super incredible. 789 00:45:21,384 --> 00:45:22,752 You know, Steve Jobs, 790 00:45:22,787 --> 00:45:24,479 what was so brilliant about Steve Jobs? 791 00:45:24,514 --> 00:45:28,120 He was the only guy who you really believed in 792 00:45:28,155 --> 00:45:30,419 that he really was in love and proud 793 00:45:30,454 --> 00:45:32,256 and crazy for his own products. 794 00:45:32,291 --> 00:45:35,193 And in today's world, this is very unusual. 795 00:45:37,461 --> 00:45:38,900 I was lucky. 796 00:45:38,935 --> 00:45:41,496 I found what I love to do early in life. 797 00:45:41,531 --> 00:45:44,235 I started Apple in my parents' garage when I was 20. 798 00:45:44,270 --> 00:45:46,369 And in 10 years, Apple had grown 799 00:45:46,404 --> 00:45:49,372 into a two billion dollar company with over 4,000 employees. 800 00:45:51,211 --> 00:45:52,342 And then I got fired. 801 00:45:54,247 --> 00:45:56,478 How can you get fired from a company you started? 802 00:45:58,823 --> 00:46:01,318 Well, this is how. 803 00:46:01,353 --> 00:46:03,518 The film was still a disaster. 804 00:46:03,553 --> 00:46:05,355 Millions had been lost. 805 00:46:05,390 --> 00:46:07,863 Something had to give. 806 00:46:07,898 --> 00:46:11,526 And that something was Doc. 807 00:46:11,561 --> 00:46:12,360 Sometimes life's 808 00:46:12,395 --> 00:46:14,562 gonna hit you in the head with a brick. 809 00:46:14,597 --> 00:46:15,805 Don't lose faith. 810 00:46:17,941 --> 00:46:20,535 It was crazy. 811 00:46:52,140 --> 00:46:54,470 Of course, it hurt me to to leave the company 812 00:46:54,505 --> 00:46:56,208 but then loss of energy 813 00:46:56,243 --> 00:47:00,113 or even thinking of giving up was never on the table. 814 00:49:56,687 --> 00:49:59,589 Doc's energy was insuppressible. 815 00:49:59,624 --> 00:50:01,261 He didn't stay down long. 816 00:50:01,296 --> 00:50:06,068 Of course, he'd soon start a new impossible project. 817 00:50:22,119 --> 00:50:24,581 Supersense is one of my dreams come true. 818 00:50:25,749 --> 00:50:29,157 Spending a lot of time with the rediscovery 819 00:50:29,192 --> 00:50:32,193 of analog technologies in a digital world, 820 00:50:32,228 --> 00:50:35,064 I found out that the people who love Polaroid 821 00:50:35,099 --> 00:50:35,823 they also love wine 822 00:50:35,858 --> 00:50:37,594 or they also love good coffee, 823 00:50:37,629 --> 00:50:39,233 they also love letterpress, 824 00:50:39,268 --> 00:50:40,762 they also love books. 825 00:50:40,797 --> 00:50:43,831 And so I said, "Let's bring all these things together 826 00:50:43,866 --> 00:50:46,174 in one very special place." 827 00:50:46,209 --> 00:50:49,573 And I found this crazy Venetian palace 828 00:50:49,608 --> 00:50:51,179 in the heart of Vienna 829 00:50:51,214 --> 00:50:53,346 and I said, "Okay, this is the place 830 00:50:53,381 --> 00:50:55,117 that would be the perfect home 831 00:50:55,152 --> 00:50:58,483 for bringing all these crazy technologies under one roof." 832 00:51:00,355 --> 00:51:01,453 People always ask me, 833 00:51:01,488 --> 00:51:02,751 "What is it? 834 00:51:02,786 --> 00:51:05,622 Is it a museum, a bar, a restaurant, a shop?" 835 00:51:06,823 --> 00:51:08,823 Basically, it's a laboratory for me. 836 00:51:08,858 --> 00:51:12,827 We can try a lot of crazy things and technologies. 837 00:51:15,535 --> 00:51:20,538 ♪ That I find of you ♪ 838 00:51:22,311 --> 00:51:27,314 ♪ Every time, every time ♪ 839 00:51:28,647 --> 00:51:33,650

ways 849 00:54:21,523 --> 00:54:23,017 to make the company better, 850 00:54:23,052 --> 00:54:27,527 to create cool analog products for digital natives. 851 00:54:50,651 --> 00:54:51,881 2010, '11, '12, 852 00:54:51,916 --> 00:54:53,564 if you explained to people what we we're doing, 853 00:54:53,588 --> 00:54:56,325 they'd say, "Oh, nice, they'll probably fail." 854 00:54:56,360 --> 00:54:57,887 I mean the reality is 855 00:54:57,922 --> 00:55:00,054 Impossible is one percent of the market. 856 00:55:00,089 --> 00:55:02,331 And then we were hoping to grow from there. 857 00:55:02,366 --> 00:55:03,431 But at the end of the day, 858 00:55:03,466 --> 00:55:04,674 this idea of rebelliousness or not, 859 00:55:04,698 --> 00:55:07,369 I mean we're still gonna be this company here. 860 00:55:07,404 --> 00:55:09,701 Impossible was a totally rebellious concept. 861 00:55:09,736 --> 00:55:11,835 You know, like it's a concept that had no logic 862 00:55:11,870 --> 00:55:13,408 really behind it at all. 863 00:55:13,443 --> 00:55:15,542 It was just a very impassioned person 864 00:55:15,577 --> 00:55:17,643 following through on their dream. 865 00:55:17,678 --> 00:55:18,578 And I think it's important for us 866 00:55:18,613 --> 00:55:20,580 that we maintain some of that. 867 00:55:20,615 --> 00:55:21,447 We need to put our finger 868 00:55:21,483 --> 00:55:23,583 on what it was that made it so special. 869 00:55:23,618 --> 00:55:26,751 And the idea that we landed on is bring magic to life. 870 00:55:26,786 --> 00:55:29,050 This is how they used to do nice brochures. 871 00:55:29,085 --> 00:55:30,887 So this is 1972. 872 00:55:30,922 --> 00:55:33,692 But this idea of magic is kind of everywhere. 873 00:55:33,727 --> 00:55:35,804 And if you really think about what all these cameras did 874 00:55:35,828 --> 00:55:37,861 since the '50s, '60s, '70s, 875 00:55:37,896 --> 00:55:41,634 whether it was a small moment with a family or people, 876 00:55:41,669 --> 00:55:44,571 we really want to preserve that and to build that. 877 00:55:44,606 --> 00:55:45,638 If we get this right, 878 00:55:45,673 --> 00:55:47,442 that next product can be great. 879 00:55:53,549 --> 00:55:55,516 Hi, I'm Oskar. 880 00:55:55,551 --> 00:55:56,143 Hi. 881 00:55:56,178 --> 00:55:57,518 I worked on this camera 882 00:55:57,553 --> 00:56:01,555 and I'm CEO of The Impossible Project now. 883 00:56:01,590 --> 00:56:03,986 I wanted to invite you to just give me some feedback. 884 00:56:04,021 --> 00:56:05,427 Okay. 885 00:56:05,462 --> 00:56:08,727 Okay, it looks like it's came from the future. 886 00:56:08,762 --> 00:56:09,728 Good. 887 00:56:09,763 --> 00:56:11,697 I think it's very sexy. 888 00:56:11,732 --> 00:56:13,996 Very sexy, very good to hear. 889 00:56:14,031 --> 00:56:15,734 How would you take a photo? 890 00:56:15,769 --> 00:56:17,769 Yeah, maybe on and off. 891 00:56:17,804 --> 00:56:18,836 Um. 892 00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:22,103 Agh, help. 893 00:56:23,106 --> 00:56:25,139 - How would you? - I have no idea. 894 00:56:25,174 --> 00:56:26,613 Oh. 895 00:56:26,648 --> 00:56:27,845 So you've got eight lights, 896 00:56:27,880 --> 00:56:29,187 which corresponds to eight photos in each pack. 897 00:56:29,211 --> 00:56:31,013 It tells you how many you have left. 898 00:56:32,918 --> 00:56:34,852 Smile now. 899 00:56:34,887 --> 00:56:35,887 Yes. 900 00:56:38,726 --> 00:56:39,824 I like the idea. 901 00:56:39,859 --> 00:56:40,859 Really interesting. 902 00:56:50,232 --> 00:56:52,936 Oskar was heading to New York. 903 00:56:52,971 --> 00:56:56,104 He had put everything into Impossible's first 904 00:56:56,139 --> 00:56:57,743 all new camera, the i1. 905 00:57:01,485 --> 00:57:03,452 The ring flash is great for portraits. 906 00:57:03,487 --> 00:57:05,454 And when you turn the camera on, 907 00:57:05,489 --> 00:57:06,697 it tells you how many photos you have left. 908 00:57:06,721 --> 00:57:08,754 Then you can switch it to bluetooth mode. 909 00:57:11,154 --> 00:57:12,560 So you have two sides. 910 00:57:13,761 --> 00:57:15,992 I have no idea whether the Impossible Project 911 00:57:16,027 --> 00:57:20,095 is onto something or is not onto something. 912 00:57:20,130 --> 00:57:22,867 It's very difficult to know with any generation, 913 00:57:22,902 --> 00:57:24,836 what technology is gonna take off 914 00:57:24,871 --> 00:57:27,542 and whether or not something this retro 915 00:57:27,577 --> 00:57:30,138 given that everybody's got a camera in their pocket 916 00:57:30,173 --> 00:57:32,547 is really gonna have any kind of resonance. 917 00:57:34,980 --> 00:57:37,178 I think I'm pretty, a responsible person. 918 00:57:37,213 --> 00:57:40,247 When I start something I want to make it happen. 919 00:57:40,282 --> 00:57:45,494 A lot of milestones is in front of the company. 920 00:57:46,222 --> 00:57:48,893 This is one of the important, 921 00:57:48,928 --> 00:57:51,467 but not first and not last. 922 00:57:53,867 --> 00:57:56,703 I very much do believe in real businesses. 923 00:57:56,738 --> 00:57:59,640 But the question is what is the business model? 924 00:57:59,675 --> 00:58:04,271 Is the business model earning billions every year 925 00:58:04,306 --> 00:58:08,979 and, you know, growing 100% every six months? 926 00:58:10,554 --> 00:58:13,522 I don't think the world works like that. 927 00:58:13,557 --> 00:58:15,953 So how does it work? 928 00:58:15,988 --> 00:58:18,857 Doc sent me to meet his friends at Moleskine, 929 00:58:18,892 --> 00:58:22,025 probably analog's greatest success story. 930 00:58:22,060 --> 00:58:24,863 They had just saved something themselves. 931 00:58:24,898 --> 00:58:26,260 Fratelli Bonvini, 932 00:58:26,295 --> 00:58:30,099 Milan's oldest stationary shop and printers. 933 00:58:44,082 --> 00:58:46,082 Analog, we are analog. 934 00:58:47,052 --> 00:58:49,019 We are something very physical. 935 00:58:50,726 --> 00:58:54,563 So analog is not thinking. 936 00:58:55,225 --> 00:58:58,094 It's a real thing. 937 00:58:58,129 --> 00:59:00,030 Handwriting, for example, 938 00:59:00,065 --> 00:59:03,231 many schools, especially in the United States, 939 00:59:03,266 --> 00:59:08,137 started to eliminate the teaching of handwriting 940 00:59:08,172 --> 00:59:10,172 in the primary school. 941 00:59:10,207 --> 00:59:15,078 And then neuroscientists started to underline 942 00:59:15,113 --> 00:59:18,246 the fact that a difficult learning 943 00:59:18,281 --> 00:59:21,953 of this kind of physical gesture 944 00:59:21,988 --> 00:59:26,991 is something that is implying a wider part of our brain 945 00:59:28,159 --> 00:59:31,831 because physical is hard, is heavy, 946 00:59:31,866 --> 00:59:36,869 is something difficult to learn, to manage. 947 00:59:50,181 --> 00:59:52,346 This is bringing us to access a knowledge, 948 00:59:52,381 --> 00:59:55,657 experience and the special emotions 949 00:59:55,692 --> 00:59:59,760 and the capacity of deep understanding. 950 01:00:34,863 --> 01:00:37,930 As a child, I was always fascinated by science fiction. 951 01:00:37,965 --> 01:00:39,833 I love my iPhone, 952 01:00:39,868 --> 01:00:43,265 but you know, the very success of Moleskine 953 01:00:43,300 --> 01:00:45,366 has been through technology 954 01:00:45,401 --> 01:00:48,369 because people suddenly discovered 955 01:00:48,404 --> 01:00:52,175 that they could do their writing on paper 956 01:00:52,210 --> 01:00:55,948 but at the same time, showing it, sharing it 957 01:00:55,983 --> 01:00:58,412 and creating communities around that 958 01:00:58,447 --> 01:01:02,251 through technology and through digital. 959 01:01:30,248 --> 01:01:33,315 We think that this opportunity is for the future. 960 01:01:34,483 --> 01:01:38,419 Of course, we are a sort of natural place 961 01:01:38,454 --> 01:01:43,358 for designer or younger creative people here, 962 01:01:45,065 --> 01:01:46,231 but not only. 963 01:01:46,266 --> 01:01:51,102 Yesterday night, a client saying sometimes I'm entering here 964 01:01:51,137 --> 01:01:55,909 just to smell the different flowers that you have here, 965 01:01:55,944 --> 01:01:59,209 the wood, the ink, the paper. 966 01:01:59,244 --> 01:02:01,475 This is not a museum for sure. 967 01:02:31,144 --> 01:02:32,913 Dreamers need partners 968 01:02:32,948 --> 01:02:35,377 to help them make the dreams come true, 969 01:02:35,412 --> 01:02:38,479 ideally with deep pockets to match. 970 01:02:42,859 --> 01:02:44,452 Christmas in Vienna. 971 01:02:44,487 --> 01:02:47,158 This is the analog capital of Europe, 972 01:02:47,193 --> 01:02:49,490 if not the analog capital of the world. 973 01:02:49,525 --> 01:02:50,525 Oh, I can't wait. 974 01:02:50,559 --> 01:02:51,559 I know, I know. 975 01:02:54,035 --> 01:02:56,838 Doc had invited David Burnett and his team 976 01:02:56,873 --> 01:03:00,842 to discuss investment opportunities in vinyl. 977 01:03:04,848 --> 01:03:06,309 So welcome. 978 01:03:06,344 --> 01:03:07,442 Wow, this is it? 979 01:03:07,477 --> 01:03:08,916 - That's it. - Wow. 980 01:03:08,951 --> 01:03:12,887 Now, it's still under development, but yeah. 981 01:03:12,922 --> 01:03:14,856 So basically the first room, 982 01:03:14,891 --> 01:03:18,552 this is where Flo is gonna work on this cluster 983 01:03:18,587 --> 01:03:20,829 and then on the right side, 984 01:03:20,864 --> 01:03:23,491 we have the printing area we're gonna see later. 985 01:03:23,526 --> 01:03:27,066 But first, I have to show you a very special thing 986 01:03:27,101 --> 01:03:30,036 because you knew Seeburg 1000 987 01:03:30,071 --> 01:03:32,841 and this is also from the family of Seeburg. 988 01:03:33,569 --> 01:03:34,601 Does it work? 989 01:03:34,636 --> 01:03:36,504 Of course it works. 990 01:03:36,539 --> 01:03:37,923 You remember nothing that doesn't work. 991 01:03:37,947 --> 01:03:39,342 I know. 992 01:03:39,377 --> 01:03:40,277 I mean I've seen pictures of this. 993 01:03:40,312 --> 01:03:41,278 I've never seen one in person. 994 01:03:41,313 --> 01:03:43,247 Layla, this is so cool. 995 01:03:43,282 --> 01:03:44,479 This is incredible. 996 01:03:44,514 --> 01:03:46,195 We have to build our own formal cut, you know? 997 01:03:46,219 --> 01:03:47,922 Absolutely. 998 01:03:47,957 --> 01:03:48,890 Gonna meet Anna. 999 01:03:48,925 --> 01:03:50,254 Hi, David. 1000 01:03:50,289 --> 01:03:52,861 At the same time, when we do the recording, 1001 01:03:52,896 --> 01:03:53,962 we produce all the covers. 1002 01:03:53,997 --> 01:03:58,559 So we have developed a very special cover that comes- 1003 01:03:58,594 --> 01:04:01,628 David was one of the Internet's first millionaires, 1004 01:04:01,663 --> 01:04:03,905 a digital pioneer. 1005 01:04:03,940 --> 01:04:05,073 In the '90s, 1006 01:04:05,108 --> 01:04:09,504 he had invented GeoCities, an early social media platform. 1007 01:04:09,539 --> 01:04:13,277 But lately, David had fallen back in love with analog. 1008 01:04:15,347 --> 01:04:16,347 - Go, go, go. - Go, go. 1009 01:04:19,989 --> 01:04:20,581 I'm gonna go with the red button. 1010 01:04:20,616 --> 01:04:21,417 You changed the world. 1011 01:04:21,452 --> 01:04:22,352 - Okay? - Okay. 1012 01:04:22,387 --> 01:04:23,958 I go for the black button. 1013 01:04:23,993 --> 01:04:24,893 Okay. 1014 01:04:24,928 --> 01:04:25,928 One, two, three. 1015 01:04:29,592 --> 01:04:32,263 Very good, very good, very good. 1016 01:04:33,497 --> 01:04:34,628 Thank you. 1017 01:04:34,663 --> 01:04:35,464 The smell, you know again? 1018 01:04:35,499 --> 01:04:36,905 The acid. 1019 01:04:36,940 --> 01:04:38,632 I think the new definition of luxury 1020 01:04:38,667 --> 01:04:41,976 is not necessarily jewelry and watches. 1021 01:04:42,011 --> 01:04:44,374 It's the curated experiences. 1022 01:04:44,409 --> 01:04:46,640 It's the authentic one-of-a-kind experiences 1023 01:04:46,675 --> 01:04:48,411 that analog provide, 1024 01:04:48,446 --> 01:04:51,051 a custom photograph, a custom record. 1025 01:04:51,086 --> 01:04:54,615 You have to smell it because this is an incredible smell. 1026 01:04:56,025 --> 01:04:58,058 You don't have to listen. 1027 01:04:58,093 --> 01:04:59,961 The resolution's so crisp. 1028 01:04:59,996 --> 01:05:01,600 Because it's one-to-one, it's not an enlargement. 1029 01:05:01,624 --> 01:05:03,998 Oh it's one-to-one, right. 1030 01:05:04,033 --> 01:05:04,865 Do we roll 'em up after it dries? 1031 01:05:04,901 --> 01:05:06,462 Yeah, yeah, yeah after it drives. 1032 01:05:06,497 --> 01:05:07,969 - Push on. - Push on, yep. 1033 01:05:08,004 --> 01:05:09,102 Or this off. 1034 01:05:09,137 --> 01:05:10,972 - Push on. - Okay then photo. 1035 01:05:11,007 --> 01:05:12,908 Photo, and it's zero, one. 1036 01:05:14,241 --> 01:05:15,944 You can hear it working. 1037 01:05:15,979 --> 01:05:17,506 You can even see it working. 1038 01:05:17,541 --> 01:05:18,541 - Really? - Yeah. 1039 01:05:19,477 --> 01:05:22,115 Oh my God, it's so cool. 1040 01:05:23,085 --> 01:05:24,051 It's a whole jukebox 1041 01:05:24,086 --> 01:05:27,186 in a very stylish cabinet. 1042 01:05:27,221 --> 01:05:28,253 And you can program it. 1043 01:05:28,288 --> 01:05:30,453 So you really can, you know, 1044 01:05:30,488 --> 01:05:31,498 when you have a romantic dinner, 1045 01:05:31,522 --> 01:05:33,060 you program it 1046 01:05:33,095 --> 01:05:36,360 and then you have three hours continuously. 1047 01:05:36,395 --> 01:05:39,462 Oh look, look at the movement right there. 1048 01:05:39,497 --> 01:05:41,002 Isn't that beautiful? 1049 01:06:34,123 --> 01:06:35,364 I just want to say, thank you, everybody. 1050 01:06:35,388 --> 01:06:39,324 This has been a fantastic series of performances 1051 01:06:39,359 --> 01:06:41,656 of classic and new music 1052 01:06:41,691 --> 01:06:46,694 here in the Supersense Analog Palace in Vienna. 1053 01:06:47,730 --> 01:06:52,139 Your magnificent playing has been recorded right back there 1054 01:06:52,768 --> 01:06:54,141 direct to disc. 1055 01:06:54,176 --> 01:06:56,176 So this is not a pressing, 1056 01:06:56,211 --> 01:06:58,706 this is direct from the microphones 1057 01:06:58,741 --> 01:07:01,313 to the cutting head to the disc, 1058 01:07:01,348 --> 01:07:03,414 which is unprecedented. 1059 01:07:03,449 --> 01:07:05,152 And I just want to say thank you 1060 01:07:05,187 --> 01:07:10,190 for being part of the renaissance of this classic music 1061 01:07:11,556 --> 01:07:13,204 and the renaissance of analog history here in Vienna. 1062 01:07:13,228 --> 01:07:15,162 So thank you very much. 1063 01:07:15,197 --> 01:07:16,197 Thank you. 1064 01:07:52,630 --> 01:07:53,860 At Impossible, 1065 01:07:53,895 --> 01:07:57,270 a negotiation was going on behind closed doors. 1066 01:07:57,305 --> 01:08:00,636 It's the dream to reunite The Impossible Project 1067 01:08:00,671 --> 01:08:02,704 with the Polaroid brand. 1068 01:08:02,739 --> 01:08:06,345 If this works out, it will be Slava and Oskar 1069 01:08:06,380 --> 01:08:08,314 who will make this dream happen. 1070 01:08:29,403 --> 01:08:30,270 Is everybody here? 1071 01:08:30,305 --> 01:08:31,370 Cool. 1072 01:08:31,405 --> 01:08:32,899 All right, so we can start. 1073 01:08:32,934 --> 01:08:36,309 So I think this is the first time 1074 01:08:36,344 --> 01:08:38,311 where I don't feel like I'm bullshitting 1075 01:08:38,346 --> 01:08:41,710 that I'm saying The Impossible Project is a success. 1076 01:09:06,869 --> 01:09:08,407 Okay, so let's go through this. 1077 01:09:08,442 --> 01:09:11,608 So Polaroid acquired by new ownership group 1078 01:09:11,643 --> 01:09:13,808 led by the Smolokowski family. 1079 01:09:13,843 --> 01:09:17,284 The new owners acquired 100% of the shares. 1080 01:09:17,319 --> 01:09:19,649 Mr. Smolokowski is also majority shareholder 1081 01:09:19,684 --> 01:09:20,914 of The Impossible Project, 1082 01:09:20,949 --> 01:09:22,322 the company that purchased 1083 01:09:22,357 --> 01:09:25,391 the last remaining Polaroid factory in 2008 1084 01:09:25,426 --> 01:09:28,427 and continues to manufacture instant film 1085 01:09:28,462 --> 01:09:30,429 for legacy Polaroid cameras. 1086 01:09:30,464 --> 01:09:32,398 The day we flew the Polaroid flag 1087 01:09:32,433 --> 01:09:35,797 at the factory again was huge. 1088 01:09:56,919 --> 01:09:58,622 We're also very pleased to welcome 1089 01:09:58,657 --> 01:10:00,921 the ownership group to the Polaroid family 1090 01:10:00,956 --> 01:10:03,264 and excited to begin writing the next chapter 1091 01:10:03,299 --> 01:10:04,859 in the story of the Polaroid brand. 1092 01:10:23,616 --> 01:10:26,551 In 2008, obviously Doc started The Impossible Project 1093 01:10:26,586 --> 01:10:31,589 and now in 2017, we're becoming Polaroid, 1094 01:10:32,658 --> 01:10:33,954 which I honestly didn't expect. 1095 01:10:33,989 --> 01:10:35,494 Obviously, thanks to you guys. 1096 01:10:37,729 --> 01:10:40,829 It really felt like a brand new company. 1097 01:10:40,864 --> 01:10:43,634 Finally, even the film worked. 1098 01:10:44,403 --> 01:10:46,604 You know Polaroid's goal and Dr. Land's goal 1099 01:10:46,639 --> 01:10:48,606 for a camera like this was 1100 01:10:48,641 --> 01:10:51,807 this is the most important part, this red button. 1101 01:10:51,842 --> 01:10:55,844 So if I, all I should have to do is press the button. 1102 01:10:57,584 --> 01:10:59,617 This is our film that we've been selling 1103 01:10:59,652 --> 01:11:02,356 and this is our new film. 1104 01:11:05,526 --> 01:11:06,392 The biggest thing I think 1105 01:11:06,427 --> 01:11:08,296 that a customer will see right off the bat 1106 01:11:08,331 --> 01:11:10,463 is that it's a faster developing film. 1107 01:11:10,498 --> 01:11:13,334 It's the most instant film that we've made. 1108 01:11:13,369 --> 01:11:15,600 In my mind, it's really the first film 1109 01:11:15,635 --> 01:11:17,767 that's worthy of being called instant. 1110 01:11:17,802 --> 01:11:18,966 Is that important? 1111 01:11:19,001 --> 01:11:19,901 Yeah, it is. 1112 01:11:19,936 --> 01:11:21,375 If you think of a magician 1113 01:11:21,410 --> 01:11:22,970 who's gonna pull a rabbit out of a hat, 1114 01:11:23,005 --> 01:11:25,577 well if it takes 20 minutes for him to get it out, 1115 01:11:25,612 --> 01:11:28,679 chances are it's not gonna be a very effective act. 1116 01:11:28,714 --> 01:11:30,582 But if it's fast, 1117 01:11:30,617 --> 01:11:32,980 then obviously it makes a difference. 1118 01:11:33,015 --> 01:11:34,718 Here you can see 1119 01:11:34,753 --> 01:11:38,018 that there's already a recognizable image here 1120 01:11:38,053 --> 01:11:39,921 and here there's nothing. 1121 01:11:39,956 --> 01:11:41,659 So at this point, 1122 01:11:41,694 --> 01:11:43,705 we're three or four minutes into the development process 1123 01:11:43,729 --> 01:11:46,895 and you can now see this one is fairly well-developed. 1124 01:11:46,930 --> 01:11:49,601 This is gonna be the new Polaroid Originals film. 1125 01:11:51,902 --> 01:11:53,572 A customer doesn't have to know anything 1126 01:11:53,607 --> 01:11:54,936 about the complexity of the film. 1127 01:11:54,971 --> 01:11:57,015 All they have to know is how to take it out of the carton 1128 01:11:57,039 --> 01:11:58,808 and put it into the camera. 1129 01:12:01,516 --> 01:12:03,714 The kind of three things that have happened 1130 01:12:03,749 --> 01:12:07,080 that are really changing the dynamics of the entire company. 1131 01:12:07,115 --> 01:12:10,622 One is the quality of the film has gotten better 1132 01:12:10,657 --> 01:12:12,624 and it's finally gotten more instant 1133 01:12:12,659 --> 01:12:13,801 and it's finally gotten to be instant. 1134 01:12:13,825 --> 01:12:17,123 Another is that we have a really nice 1135 01:12:17,158 --> 01:12:19,928 lower cost brand new camera. 1136 01:12:19,963 --> 01:12:21,897 And the third is that we're combining those two 1137 01:12:21,932 --> 01:12:24,636 with this world famous brand. 1138 01:12:24,671 --> 01:12:28,706 And that's gonna change the whole dynamics of the company. 1139 01:13:12,653 --> 01:13:14,785 We had witnessed a bit of a miracle. 1140 01:13:14,820 --> 01:13:18,855 The 1940s tech was back in 2018. 1141 01:13:18,890 --> 01:13:22,892 It worked and it was called Polaroid again. 1142 01:13:22,927 --> 01:13:26,896 Oskar and Doc had pulled the rabbit from that hat. 1143 01:13:29,065 --> 01:13:30,735 I was 22 when I joined the project 1144 01:13:30,770 --> 01:13:34,101 and obviously I had no idea it would become my whole life. 1145 01:13:35,478 --> 01:13:36,686 I mean there were years on the journey 1146 01:13:36,710 --> 01:13:38,908 where I definitely wanted to quit. 1147 01:13:38,943 --> 01:13:41,911 But every year there was more to be done 1148 01:13:41,946 --> 01:13:45,453 and it felt too important to even think about anything else. 1149 01:13:46,122 --> 01:13:47,785 So before I knew it, I was 30 1150 01:13:47,820 --> 01:13:51,184 and this project indeed became my whole life. 1151 01:13:51,219 --> 01:13:55,089 We are one big Polaroid Impossible family today. 1152 01:14:05,805 --> 01:14:06,704 I wanted to thank everybody 1153 01:14:06,740 --> 01:14:08,872 who made Impossible Project a reality today. 1154 01:14:08,907 --> 01:14:10,742 Thank you so much. 1155 01:14:13,043 --> 01:14:15,142 80 years ago to the day, 1156 01:14:15,177 --> 01:14:16,913 right here in New York, 1157 01:14:16,948 --> 01:14:20,950 Edwin Land had founded the Polaroid Corporation. 1158 01:14:20,985 --> 01:14:23,887 How rare is it that such a company, 1159 01:14:23,922 --> 01:14:28,694 analog and totally not Silicon Valley rises from the ashes? 1160 01:14:29,363 --> 01:14:31,994 The underdog was proven right. 1161 01:14:32,931 --> 01:14:33,931 What an achievement. 1162 01:14:36,770 --> 01:14:38,803 Doc would have been proud. 1163 01:14:39,806 --> 01:14:43,071 But no one had made sure he was there that night. 1164 01:14:55,822 --> 01:14:58,218 I was standing for the romantic, passionate, 1165 01:14:58,253 --> 01:15:00,957 dreamy, crazy part. 1166 01:15:00,992 --> 01:15:03,091 That was super important in the beginning. 1167 01:15:04,193 --> 01:15:06,699 I think it was a beautiful love affair. 1168 01:15:06,734 --> 01:15:08,294 And as you know, 1169 01:15:08,329 --> 01:15:12,067 not everything goes very easy in love affairs. 1170 01:15:13,873 --> 01:15:17,611 It had many twists and many discussions 1171 01:15:17,646 --> 01:15:21,076 but it was a big challenge with a lot of up and downs. 1172 01:15:24,081 --> 01:15:27,588 Of course, without shite and failure and making mistakes 1173 01:15:27,623 --> 01:15:29,183 there is no progress. 1174 01:15:29,218 --> 01:15:31,856 But this is the thing, you know, try it. 1175 01:15:32,525 --> 01:15:34,529 Is it the failure that I'm not, 1176 01:15:36,632 --> 01:15:39,897 or do I feel sad because I'm not actively involved 1177 01:15:39,932 --> 01:15:41,063 in Polaroid nowadays? 1178 01:15:41,098 --> 01:15:43,637 Yeah sometimes yes, of course, 1179 01:15:43,672 --> 01:15:45,573 because I thought this would be my dream 1180 01:15:45,608 --> 01:15:48,268 and especially I promised to my wife, 1181 01:15:48,303 --> 01:15:49,874 this is the last project, 1182 01:15:49,909 --> 01:15:52,107 you know, this time it works out. 1183 01:15:52,142 --> 01:15:54,978 But on the other hand, I would never be sitting here 1184 01:15:56,685 --> 01:15:58,949 if things had not evolved like that 1185 01:15:58,984 --> 01:16:03,283 and I have the feeling, okay, the whole Polaroid story, 1186 01:16:03,318 --> 01:16:05,351 maybe this was just the warmup 1187 01:16:05,386 --> 01:16:07,793 for many other projects to do. 1188 01:16:07,828 --> 01:16:08,992 There are many other places 1189 01:16:09,027 --> 01:16:11,027 to take care that they are not vanishing. 1190 01:16:13,999 --> 01:16:15,900 I think I scare a lot of people, 1191 01:16:16,569 --> 01:16:19,266 but my hope is that some people 1192 01:16:19,301 --> 01:16:21,136 are inspired to think out of the box 1193 01:16:21,171 --> 01:16:25,943 and maybe try things that at first are impossible. 1194 01:16:29,685 --> 01:16:31,212 It didn't take Doc long 1195 01:16:31,247 --> 01:16:34,314 to find a new impossible love affair, 1196 01:16:34,349 --> 01:16:36,624 the most analog place 1197 01:16:36,659 --> 01:16:39,759 he had ever laid his eyes on needed saving, 1198 01:16:39,794 --> 01:16:42,927 a 1902 car hotel outside Vienna 1199 01:16:42,962 --> 01:16:47,767 that had stood empty but fully functional since the 1970s 1200 01:16:47,802 --> 01:16:52,266 waiting for the right Doc Quixote to kiss it back to life. 1201 01:16:57,240 --> 01:17:00,307 This is Südbahnhotel up in Semmering, 1202 01:17:00,342 --> 01:17:02,683 a very special car hotel close to Vienna 1203 01:17:02,718 --> 01:17:07,281 and the last guest checked out 42 years ago. 1204 01:17:08,251 --> 01:17:09,855 It's part of a crazy vision 1205 01:17:09,890 --> 01:17:13,958 of bringing analog treasures and pleasures to the people 1206 01:17:13,993 --> 01:17:15,421 and help people remember 1207 01:17:15,456 --> 01:17:18,193 that places like that built over centuries 1208 01:17:18,228 --> 01:17:20,701 are important, even in a digital world. 1209 01:17:21,704 --> 01:17:23,231 We have to open this hotel. 1210 01:17:23,266 --> 01:17:24,672 It's not a question. 1211 01:17:24,707 --> 01:17:26,168 It's not even think about it. 1212 01:17:44,188 --> 01:17:48,157 As you can imagine, my wife kills me because she says, 1213 01:17:48,192 --> 01:17:51,798 "Can you finally concentrate on one thing? 1214 01:17:51,833 --> 01:17:56,264 Can you do one thing and you know, have it done?" 1215 01:17:56,299 --> 01:17:58,200 And I just say, 1216 01:17:58,235 --> 01:18:00,466 "It's always exactly the same thing. 1217 01:18:00,501 --> 01:18:03,436 This is exactly what it is all about." 1218 01:18:12,051 --> 01:18:14,348 The owners love this hotel, 1219 01:18:14,383 --> 01:18:17,417 but every McKinsey consultant has been telling them 1220 01:18:17,452 --> 01:18:19,452 it's impossible to reopen, 1221 01:18:19,487 --> 01:18:23,390 uneconomical, not profitable, blah, blah, blah. 1222 01:18:23,425 --> 01:18:28,032 Until Doc came along with his style of business plan. 1223 01:18:28,067 --> 01:18:30,903 Just give it a good clean, don't change a thing, 1224 01:18:30,938 --> 01:18:33,202 it's perfect already, can't you see? 1225 01:18:59,494 --> 01:19:02,968 Saving the Südbahnhotel would require passion 1226 01:19:03,003 --> 01:19:04,398 and a lot of money. 1227 01:19:04,433 --> 01:19:08,501 Doc had plenty of the former and none of the latter. 1228 01:19:08,536 --> 01:19:13,110 But then he got an email from the most unlikely of senders. 1229 01:19:15,543 --> 01:19:19,083 Doc was headed to Silicon Valley of all places 1230 01:19:19,118 --> 01:19:23,450 and there, rather less impressively located in a swamp, 1231 01:19:23,485 --> 01:19:26,761 sat one of the world's largest companies ever. 1232 01:19:38,269 --> 01:19:40,566 The whole world had begun wondering about Facebook, 1233 01:19:40,601 --> 01:19:44,273 but few people had seen it from the inside. 1234 01:19:44,308 --> 01:19:46,847 Doc strolled right in. 1235 01:19:46,882 --> 01:19:49,146 He had a question for Mark and his team. 1236 01:19:52,514 --> 01:19:54,580 I don't know exactly what will happen 1237 01:19:54,615 --> 01:19:58,023 but I have a feeling it's just important to keep going. 1238 01:19:58,058 --> 01:19:59,860 It's a big question. 1239 01:19:59,895 --> 01:20:01,488 And even the guys who founded it said, 1240 01:20:01,523 --> 01:20:03,061 "Okay, this is out of control." 1241 01:20:04,163 --> 01:20:05,591 In the beginning, 1242 01:20:05,626 --> 01:20:08,066 when we started a film with the Impossible factory, 1243 01:20:08,101 --> 01:20:10,233 this was a universe that didn't care. 1244 01:20:10,268 --> 01:20:13,874 And over the years, this has totally changed. 1245 01:20:13,909 --> 01:20:16,844 Everybody called me crazy. 1246 01:20:16,879 --> 01:20:18,318 And now I think more and more people 1247 01:20:18,342 --> 01:20:21,211 think Facebook is crazy and out of their mind. 1248 01:20:24,018 --> 01:20:25,446 It was Scott Bones 1249 01:20:25,481 --> 01:20:29,956 of something with the promising name of Analog Research Lab 1250 01:20:29,991 --> 01:20:31,254 who had got in touch. 1251 01:20:31,289 --> 01:20:32,422 "Dear Doc, 1252 01:20:32,457 --> 01:20:34,301 The mission you're on and the story you're looking to tell 1253 01:20:34,325 --> 01:20:35,555 is very close to my heart 1254 01:20:35,590 --> 01:20:37,931 and right in our sweet spot here at Facebook. 1255 01:20:37,966 --> 01:20:39,471 This is a very different kind of project 1256 01:20:39,495 --> 01:20:41,363 so I'm not even sure where to start. 1257 01:20:41,398 --> 01:20:43,376 A few of us had an interesting meeting on Wednesday 1258 01:20:43,400 --> 01:20:45,235 that ties into things like this 1259 01:20:45,270 --> 01:20:47,600 and we'd absolutely love to have you out to visit 1260 01:20:47,635 --> 01:20:49,041 and talk more with us. 1261 01:20:49,076 --> 01:20:50,636 We're actively pursuing opportunities 1262 01:20:50,671 --> 01:20:53,881 to reach out into the real world in a positive way 1263 01:20:53,916 --> 01:20:55,619 and have stories like this that we can share, 1264 01:20:55,643 --> 01:20:57,445 especially as I feel like we're in the middle 1265 01:20:57,480 --> 01:20:59,986 of a really important moment in time right now. 1266 01:21:02,089 --> 01:21:03,385 Talk soon, Scott." 1267 01:21:06,555 --> 01:21:07,928 "Yes Scott, 1268 01:21:07,963 --> 01:21:10,656 your words, even if just received digitally 1269 01:21:10,691 --> 01:21:13,967 are full of delicious analog energy 1270 01:21:14,002 --> 01:21:18,400 and I urgently need to meet you again and dive deeper. 1271 01:21:18,435 --> 01:21:22,140 I 150% agree that Facebook urgently 1272 01:21:22,175 --> 01:21:27,013 need a deep cultural consciousness", 1273 01:21:27,048 --> 01:21:30,247 I probably looked this up in the dictionary, 1274 01:21:30,282 --> 01:21:32,381 "Reconnecting you to the real world 1275 01:21:32,416 --> 01:21:34,988 and all your fantastic senses. 1276 01:21:35,023 --> 01:21:37,650 Can't wait to discuss this face to face. 1277 01:21:37,685 --> 01:21:39,927 Excited talk." 1278 01:21:48,498 --> 01:21:50,135 Think different. 1279 01:21:50,170 --> 01:21:52,071 That was once the motto here 1280 01:21:52,106 --> 01:21:54,975 in the land of Google, Facebook and Apple, 1281 01:21:55,010 --> 01:21:58,176 the cradle of our digital world. 1282 01:21:58,211 --> 01:22:00,277 Doc came to remind them of it. 1283 01:22:01,676 --> 01:22:03,016 These companies, 1284 01:22:03,051 --> 01:22:06,184 they start building a parallel universe. 1285 01:22:07,649 --> 01:22:09,220 All these employees there, 1286 01:22:09,255 --> 01:22:10,683 basically, there's no reason 1287 01:22:10,718 --> 01:22:13,455 for them to live or think outside that universe. 1288 01:22:15,129 --> 01:22:18,966 So how can they solve the problems in the real world 1289 01:22:19,001 --> 01:22:20,561 when they don't even know about it? 1290 01:22:23,104 --> 01:22:24,499 Yeah, just a website. 1291 01:22:26,140 --> 01:22:29,702 10,000 people are working on one website, it's crazy. 1292 01:22:33,378 --> 01:22:36,445 Somehow it felt like being in a movie. 1293 01:22:36,480 --> 01:22:39,613 It's not at all connected to reality. 1294 01:22:44,224 --> 01:22:46,323 Yes, in a genuine 1295 01:22:46,358 --> 01:22:49,161 life is stranger than fiction turn, 1296 01:22:49,196 --> 01:22:50,657 Doc discovered that 1297 01:22:50,692 --> 01:22:53,396 at the very center of Facebook headquarters 1298 01:22:53,431 --> 01:22:55,365 where you would least expect it, 1299 01:22:55,400 --> 01:22:58,368 there really was an analog heart beating. 1300 01:23:01,637 --> 01:23:02,677 - Hello, welcome. - Hello. 1301 01:23:04,178 --> 01:23:05,375 I'm Dana Martin. 1302 01:23:05,410 --> 01:23:07,344 I'm the programming manager here at Facebook. 1303 01:23:07,379 --> 01:23:08,543 Doc hey. 1304 01:23:08,578 --> 01:23:10,226 I'm Scott Bones, I'm the graphic design lead 1305 01:23:10,250 --> 01:23:12,349 here at Facebook in the Analog Research Lab. 1306 01:23:12,384 --> 01:23:15,220 Wow, thank you so much for having me here 1307 01:23:15,255 --> 01:23:18,091 on this I think very special place. 1308 01:23:18,126 --> 01:23:19,488 Yeah, very happy to have you. 1309 01:23:20,359 --> 01:23:22,194 How can this be, honestly? 1310 01:23:23,626 --> 01:23:27,265 It's quite a treat to have a creative space like this 1311 01:23:27,300 --> 01:23:29,333 at a digital company. 1312 01:23:29,368 --> 01:23:31,368 I think it really is important for us 1313 01:23:31,403 --> 01:23:33,513 when we're trying to build bridges within our community 1314 01:23:33,537 --> 01:23:36,208 and it definitely expands to our mission 1315 01:23:36,243 --> 01:23:38,375 and our goal of connecting the whole world. 1316 01:23:40,181 --> 01:23:41,719 We definitely fit into Facebook culture 1317 01:23:41,743 --> 01:23:44,480 and we've been called the heart and soul of Facebook. 1318 01:23:44,515 --> 01:23:47,219 And Facebook's mission is to connect the whole world 1319 01:23:47,254 --> 01:23:48,759 and bring the whole world closer together. 1320 01:23:48,783 --> 01:23:50,783 I think analog and research 1321 01:23:50,818 --> 01:23:53,720 really speaks to how we want people to slow down. 1322 01:23:53,755 --> 01:23:55,260 Humans are the only animal 1323 01:23:55,295 --> 01:23:58,164 that can not only think of what is but what isn't. 1324 01:23:58,199 --> 01:24:01,398 So we can see the impossible and bring it to fruition. 1325 01:24:01,433 --> 01:24:04,731 I really love the name Analog Research Lab. 1326 01:24:04,766 --> 01:24:07,272 And what would be your answer when I ask you, 1327 01:24:07,307 --> 01:24:09,241 what is the smell of Facebook? 1328 01:24:10,177 --> 01:24:12,805 I think it would be different for different people. 1329 01:24:12,840 --> 01:24:16,215 I mean in here we come in and we smell 1330 01:24:17,416 --> 01:24:19,548 the dust that settles on things in the room 1331 01:24:19,583 --> 01:24:23,552 or a can of ink or a can of paint. 1332 01:24:23,587 --> 01:24:24,751 Are we talking about 1333 01:24:24,786 --> 01:24:27,622 the people working here as a community or? 1334 01:24:27,657 --> 01:24:30,295 I find myself spending less time online 1335 01:24:30,330 --> 01:24:32,792 than I think I did before I started working here, 1336 01:24:32,827 --> 01:24:33,926 which is a little ironic. 1337 01:24:33,962 --> 01:24:38,105 But I think that just speaks to how much we really value 1338 01:24:38,140 --> 01:24:40,371 and how we want to impact the world. 1339 01:24:59,260 --> 01:25:04,263 So, Facebook had a soul after all and a smell? 1340 01:25:04,793 --> 01:25:06,199 Doc wasn't so sure, 1341 01:25:06,234 --> 01:25:08,432 but always one for going the other way, 1342 01:25:08,467 --> 01:25:10,401 he put it to a test. 1343 01:25:10,436 --> 01:25:13,701 He attempted some kind of analog judo grip. 1344 01:25:13,736 --> 01:25:16,638 Doc's plan was to persuade Facebook 1345 01:25:16,673 --> 01:25:21,445 to cohost his long cherished Analog Superheroes Dinner 1346 01:25:21,480 --> 01:25:23,117 at the Südbahnhotel. 1347 01:25:24,318 --> 01:25:25,358 So this is our invitation? 1348 01:25:25,385 --> 01:25:26,747 Invitation for the big evening 1349 01:25:26,782 --> 01:25:28,749 that will change the future of analog. 1350 01:25:30,588 --> 01:25:33,358 But we have to talk about the guest list, right? 1351 01:25:33,393 --> 01:25:34,854 12 people. 1352 01:25:34,889 --> 01:25:36,372 12 to 15 I think was sort of the magic, 1353 01:25:36,396 --> 01:25:37,824 seemed like the magic number. 1354 01:25:42,237 --> 01:25:44,171 Yeah, this is a dinner menu, 1355 01:25:44,206 --> 01:25:47,933 not boring food, but food for thought. 1356 01:25:47,968 --> 01:25:49,506 Yeah, exactly, very good. 1357 01:25:49,541 --> 01:25:51,541 So we thought it's not just about 1358 01:25:51,576 --> 01:25:53,279 sitting together and being nice, 1359 01:25:53,314 --> 01:25:56,282 but we have some really crucial answers. 1360 01:25:56,317 --> 01:25:58,548 How does digital smell? 1361 01:25:58,583 --> 01:26:00,517 Does digital make any sense? 1362 01:26:01,883 --> 01:26:03,553 After a long period 1363 01:26:03,588 --> 01:26:06,292 of analog companies trying hard to become digital, 1364 01:26:06,327 --> 01:26:09,460 I think it's now time for the digital companies 1365 01:26:09,495 --> 01:26:12,463 to start thinking of how to connect with people 1366 01:26:12,498 --> 01:26:14,333 in analog ways. 1367 01:26:14,368 --> 01:26:15,467 So here we go. 1368 01:26:15,503 --> 01:26:18,634 You can already kind of see some of the image on there. 1369 01:26:18,669 --> 01:26:20,240 It looks very harmonic. 1370 01:26:20,275 --> 01:26:22,440 Yes and there is a harmony to it. 1371 01:26:22,475 --> 01:26:25,905 We're mixing up something that started digital 1372 01:26:25,940 --> 01:26:28,248 and it's transforming back to analog. 1373 01:26:28,283 --> 01:26:31,185 This is something you can't do digitally. 1374 01:26:31,880 --> 01:26:32,978 I take a picture. 1375 01:26:33,013 --> 01:26:34,254 This is fine for you? 1376 01:26:34,289 --> 01:26:35,289 Yeah. 1377 01:26:36,291 --> 01:26:37,521 Don't move, don't move. 1378 01:26:37,556 --> 01:26:40,590 It's black and white film, Scott, unfortunately. 1379 01:26:44,299 --> 01:26:45,562 Okay. 1380 01:26:45,597 --> 01:26:48,235 So these two colors stand for analog and digital. 1381 01:26:48,270 --> 01:26:51,238 I think the analog should be the bright color. 1382 01:26:54,573 --> 01:26:57,475 This is not about good or bad or evil 1383 01:26:57,510 --> 01:27:00,808 This is about how can we create a world 1384 01:27:00,843 --> 01:27:02,612 where there's a balance again. 1385 01:27:05,386 --> 01:27:06,682 This is the future baby. 1386 01:27:07,718 --> 01:27:08,718 Look at it. 1387 01:27:11,755 --> 01:27:16,626 Why I end up co-hosting this amazing evening with Facebook, 1388 01:27:17,860 --> 01:27:20,597 you know a lot of bad things are happening. 1389 01:27:20,632 --> 01:27:24,733 But again, I think this is the perfect moment 1390 01:27:24,768 --> 01:27:26,735 to start acting against it. 1391 01:27:27,705 --> 01:27:28,604 This

Earth 1394 01:27:35,548 --> 01:27:36,679 to change something. 1395 01:27:36,714 --> 01:27:39,352 Because with my friends and old guys, 1396 01:27:39,387 --> 01:27:41,519 we can sit together having many beers, 1397 01:27:41,554 --> 01:27:43,290 but we will never change the world. 1398 01:27:46,020 --> 01:27:47,723 Okay, everyone ready? 1399 01:27:47,758 --> 01:27:48,790 Roll sound. 1400

--> 01:31:00,982 I have been asked several times 1463 01:31:01,017 --> 01:31:03,182 what exactly is the plan for tonight? 1464 01:31:03,217 --> 01:31:05,657 We need more Doc's in this world. 1465 01:31:05,692 --> 01:31:08,253 It's important to support the people 1466 01:31:08,288 --> 01:31:10,992 doing good work with fundamentally good values. 1467 01:31:13,700 --> 01:31:17,097 My question is is there a role of digital 1468 01:31:17,132 --> 01:31:19,605 making this world a better place? 1469 01:31:19,640 --> 01:31:21,574 Digital technology in general 1470 01:31:21,609 --> 01:31:23,675 is at the infancy. 1471 01:31:23,710 --> 01:31:28,713 In terms of getting shit done, it's better. 1472 01:31:29,914 --> 01:31:30,814 We think our customers are idiots. 1473 01:31:30,849 --> 01:31:32,046 What are you saying? 1474 01:31:32,081 --> 01:31:33,289 I mean we could talk about digital and analog, 1475 01:31:33,313 --> 01:31:36,523 but the balance of all things good and evil 1476 01:31:36,558 --> 01:31:40,021 boils down to give people something real, they grab it. 1477 01:31:40,056 --> 01:31:42,023 What makes us fucking human? 1478 01:31:42,058 --> 01:31:44,960 What makes us human is that we still have emotions. 1479 01:31:44,995 --> 01:31:46,962 And if we forgot what the emotions mean, 1480 01:31:46,997 --> 01:31:49,635 let's at least trigger each other to have 1481 01:31:49,670 --> 01:31:50,911 - those emotions. - I don't think 1482 01:31:50,935 --> 01:31:51,736 we have to pit them against each other. 1483 01:31:51,771 --> 01:31:52,572 We don't have to choose. 1484 01:31:52,607 --> 01:31:54,134 We can have both. 1485 01:31:54,169 --> 01:31:57,203 But the problem is we would not be able to look at both 1486 01:31:57,238 --> 01:32:00,844 if not some people stand up and do shit 1487 01:32:00,879 --> 01:32:03,176 that nobody else is doing. 1488 01:32:03,211 --> 01:32:05,618 I don't even know for myself 1489 01:32:05,653 --> 01:32:07,587 will I ever succeed 1490 01:32:07,622 --> 01:32:10,084 and not wake up every week 1491 01:32:10,119 --> 01:32:13,087 not knowing exactly how to pay the bills? 1492 01:32:13,122 --> 01:32:14,924 Analog, digital, I cannot hear it anymore. 1493 01:32:14,959 --> 01:32:17,564 It's like thinking about sustainability, 1494 01:32:17,599 --> 01:32:20,160 love and hate and like and dislike. 1495 01:32:20,195 --> 01:32:22,800 It's so overdigested, you know? 1496 01:32:31,239 --> 01:32:33,272 My wife tends to the theory 1497 01:32:33,307 --> 01:32:36,682 that I'm one of the world's biggest losers 1498 01:32:36,717 --> 01:32:38,013 at the end of the day 1499 01:32:38,048 --> 01:32:39,718 and I tend to think of 1500 01:32:39,753 --> 01:32:42,985 that I'm one of the most successful visionaries. 1501 01:32:43,020 --> 01:32:47,627 Maybe in one more difficult year 1502 01:32:47,662 --> 01:32:52,324 or two difficult years or 10, we will find out. 1503 01:33:04,679 --> 01:33:05,711 Who cares? 1504 01:33:05,746 --> 01:33:07,174 You

01:33:25,093 When they start to roast their own coffees, they care. 1512 01:33:25,128 --> 01:33:29,361 They just don't know that places like this exist so- 1513 01:33:31,431 --> 01:33:33,772 Sorry
