In 2014 , Nolan , along with directors J. J. Abrams , Quentin Tarantino and Judd Apatow , successfully lobbied for major Hollywood studios to continue to fund Kodak to produce and process film stock , following the company ’s emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy , as Kodak is currently the last remaining manufacturer of film stock worldwide . At the 2016 Sundance Film Festival , Nolan attended a panel entitled " Power of Story " , where he discussed the importance of allowing filmmakers the continued artistic choice of shooting on film . Nolan argued for the artistic merits of film on the grounds of " medium specificity " , which highlights the importance that a work shot on film be presented in its original format , and " medium resistance " , that the artist 's choice of what medium is used to create a work will further effect choices in how a work is made
