SCHMOZ FILMS is a photographic film retailer based in Davao City, Philippines and an analogue photography hub for Davao and Mindanao. It was founded to make a variety of quality films stocks locally accessible to the photographers of the region who have for many years depended on sellers outside of Davao and even overseas, incurring hefty shipping costs plus considerable waiting time. As film stocks remain sparse across Davao, in very limited quantities, and with little to no variety, Schmoz Films makes the bold act of stepping in to fill that market gap and serve the very community which inspired it. Looking ahead, the brand will be a part of every local and visiting photographer's journey to discover and experiment with a variety of film stocks and experience Davao's vibrant photography scene.

SCHMOZ FILMS' 3-FOLD BRAND CORE: ACCESS. COMMUNITY. CULTURE.

Film rolls are just the physical products. More than just selling films, the Schmoz Brand is actually in the business of providing access, belonging, and identity－ meaning, access or entry into film photography as an art experience by making a variety of quality film stocks available to everyone; community or belonging into a close-knit community of photographers through shared activities such as photowalks and exhibits, with the support of the Davao Analogue Photography Community, Davao's very own film community; and culture or identity, or being to identify with The Film Flag as an icon and a symbol of our support for the wide resurgence of film and the global movement to keep it alive. ⚐︎
