How Polaroid created a world of need-it-now shutterbugs

She wore a white lab coat and protective glasses, speaking with a quiet modesty that the other workers shared. I asked DiBella if she gets the chance to see movies shot on the film that goes through her hands. “If I know it’s on print, I’ll go see the movie”, she said. “Even if it’s bad.”
