Production Photos
Trivia
- Based on The New York Times article “For Kodachrome Fans, Road Ends at Photo Lab in Kansas”, originally published December 29, 2010.
- The camera that Ben (Ed Harris) uses is a Leica M4-P , a rangefinder camera built from 1980 to 1986. As cutting cost strategy this is one of several Leica models manufactured mostly in Midland, Canada, instead of the legendary Leica factory in Wetzlar, Germany.
- The scene shot outside the Chicago hotel is actually the Novotel on The Esplanade in Toronto. You can see the sign for the popular restaurant The Olde Spaghetti Factory in the background.
