why CineStill makes streetlights glow red
CineStill is Kodak motion-picture film with the black rem-jet backing taken off so normal C-41 labs can process it. The backing was there for a reason: without it, bright light passes through the base, bounces back and re-exposes the film, so every light gets a red glow.
