See the world through a stranger's eyes
Founded by Christian Baiocco, Grant Weintrob and Griffin Katz
What We Do
Life on Film is an unscripted series that places disposable cameras and Super 8 video cameras in the hands of real people, then transforms what they capture into short films.
Each one of our films is a cinematic experience.
01From airports and street corners to remote towns, we approach complete strangers and ask them to document their lives. Nothing is ever staged or planted.
02Road trips with friends, honeymoons, or quiet afternoons at home. The moments no one else sees.
03They mail the camera back, we develop the film and send them the scans.
04Edited together and set to music, the photos become a short film seen by millions.
The Mission
We believe the most extraordinary stories belong to ordinary people.
As influencers present idealized versions of their lives and AI makes reality easier to imitate, authenticity is becoming harder to recognize and trust. Life on Film offers a deeply human counterweight by giving us an unfiltered window into the lives of real, everyday people.
We tell stories that audiences know they can trust.

The Founders
Life on Film was founded by Christian Baiocco, Grant Weintrob, and Griffin Katz, friends since their school days in New York City. It began in the fall of 2023, when they started giving disposable cameras to strangers on the streets of NYC. Around 70 films later, the three were named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 list in Media, and Life on Film won Instagram's Inaugural Rings award.
