UMI (海 / sea in Japanese) is our high-speed 800 ISO colour negative film, engineered for low-light scenes — neon streets, dim bars, golden hour, indoor parties, and everything after the sun goes down.
🌙 Built for low light — ISO 800 handles shadows, interiors, and night scenes where 200 and 400 films struggle
📷 DX-coded — works in point-and-shoots without manual ISO settings
🌿 Plastic-free packaging — Street Candy-inspired paper box designed by Malaysian analog artist Edmund Li (@edmund)
✅ Standard C-41 processing — develop at any lab (or send it to us)
Who it's for
Film shooters who love shooting after dark — street photographers, concert-goers, party documentarians, and anyone who doesn't want to carry a flash everywhere.

A note on our hand-crafted rolls
UMI is small-batch and hand-finished. Early rolls may show tiny light leaks — that's part of the charm and character of a handmade film.
