What an honour! I teach history of photography at the university in Brazil and there´s a whole class about your ancester. He made a revolution! Congrats
Eastman is full of creativity. He somehow showed the world so many new forms of art without even completing school. This fact has stuck with me, it really shows his appreciation and dedication to the art.
This is one of the best documentaries I’ve ever seen, and I’m 61 and have seen a lot. The writing, the use of old photos, the narration, and the music are exemplary!
Lovely work producing the documentary. I will add Mr Eastman to my list of Industrialists that improved the modern world. Furthermore fearless in mortally
We are in a different time now but the rules still stand. It’s rather rare to find an entrepreneur so successful that even finished high school. You have people that spend years in college to get a degree that they will never use then you have guys like Mr. Eastman that didn’t finish grade school and build an empire that changed the world and employed tens of thousands of people. They can’t teach you that in school, that’s something your born with.
My Dad had 2 uncles on his Mothers side both worked for Kodak. One for 28 years and the other 30+. I just found this out from my Aunt. She said he started during WW1 going up as and take photos (and develop) of the enemy's position. I've yet to verify the veracity of the latter. That being said, she did send me a letter one of them wrote to my grandfather on a kodak memo that had his name and position on letter head.
Also a relative. My grandmother's maiden name was eastman. George hired a guy to go to England and search records of churches for births,marriages , and deaths . In 1910. Records go back to 1499. Roger Eastman arrived at Massachusetts colony 1637 1638 aboard the ship Confidence.
Eastman would roll over in his grave to know Kodak invented digital photography, didn't see its potential, farmed it out to other companies, saw it overtake traditional film photography, then realized too late it was time to enter the market.
The opposite is true. This once photography giant, is now not one, because they got one-upped by a better, easier camera in the Phone, and they haven't made an effort to reach the mass market.
Capatilism is exactly what killed Kodak. Kodak's product was beaten by a better alternative which was digital photography. Hubris was also a factor since they thought that just because digital photography (at that time it was still 1-2megapixel shooters and had horrible quality) people wouldn't want to jump ship. Years later, we have camera phones that can shoot better photos than analog ones.
Again, Kodak is not dead, they have recovered and they announced they are making profit once again last month, and they are expanding their film production, although now their film production part of the company is managed by Kodak-Alaris.
Its so cool that I'm a part of his family, I'm an Eastman myself and knowing this was one of my ancestor's history is just amazing.
I think it’s cool that I share a last name with George

Heyo, my ancestor was a doctor on the Mayflower #dopeancestorclub
That's just your last name... Many people have the same last names.

peanutbutterisfu "...something you're born with".
rather something that’s inside of every individual person

Thanks for the documentary!
I love this documentary because Eastman was a self made man.
Siamo pieni di grandi storie di grandi uomini come lui. Non capirò mai perché non ci fanno i film
I live in Rochester New York
A+
The music is a drag
Rochester NY baybii.
He would roll over in his grave at the "rise of selfies"
Why?

i have cancer
raise money to end cancer ... period ....no one gives a fuck until you do something with you're life
That was a year ago. I guess you're dead now.
George would have been nothing without Leo Hendrick Baekeland.
Well, he might have been something … LOL
if america was true to the true capitalism then kodak company would still be in business
They are still in business...

Well, they emerged from bankruptcy. Sort of a "do-over"
