About Kodachrome Telephone
Culling from a bag of 500 slides from an out-of-business antique store, the Whiskey Rebellion creates the origin story of this collection of photographs. Using shadow puppetry, live action silhouette, and obsolete technology, we join a girl and her father as they connect through the American landscape in 35 millimeters.
