Be a Pioneer

And Be Rewarded

We have always felt like analog pioneers here at The Impossible Project, and in keeping with the pioneer spirit, we’ve forged ahead even when faced with unexpected results and challenges. In the beginning, we were not even sure if the Impossible Project would be possible. When we found out that it was, we were hit with major challenges in our first batches of film. But we all worked together – you with us – and found creative ways surmount the obstacles and make beautiful images. As we move into the future, we will continue to collaborate and find clever ways around any problems we encounter

For all of you who don't want to wait until our films are perfect - those who are brave, strong and crazy enough to jump into the adventure now and to invest time and resources into helping us pave this Impossible analogue road, we are delighted to offer the Impossible Pioneer Card. This brings you several fabulous benefits - most importantly a lifetime discount for all present and future film products by Impossible.

The Program

Of The Impossible Pioneer Card

The Impossible Pioneer Card is dedicated to online customers who support the Impossible and who pioneer the road towards the future of analog instant photography together with us. Without you purchasing our Impossible products from the very start, bravely facing all the challenges of our analog adventure, the further development and continuous production of Impossible instant film would in fact be impossible.

Pioneer Cards will only be issued to those of you who have supported Impossible from the very beginning on March 22, 2010 and will continue for our first year, ending March 22, 2011. During this time, our first production runs and super new products will include a splendid portion of unpredictable results. As soon as the first year of Impossible’s film development and production has ended and Impossible’s production team had had enough of time to optimize our films, no new Pioneer Cards will be issued. The Impossible Pioneer Program is only accessible to end-users.

The Impossible Pioneer Card is based on a dynamic point system: One Impossible film pack purchased in our online shop credits 1 point. From the very start you automatically collected these points with every online purchase of Impossible Instant Film.

Collecting points and meeting our requirements will advance you through the 3 levels of the Pioneer Card program: starting with Pioneer Level, continuing to the Land Level and finally reaching the Impossible Level.

3. The Impossible Level

The requirements to reach the Impossible Level are admittedly nearly impossible to reach. But since we do believe in the Impossible and are ourselves eager to make it possible, we thought it would make sense to create this level - in order to spoil you with impossibly great rewards if you should be able to make the Impossible possible:

- A personal invitation from the Impossible founders for a personally guided tour at the Impossible factory in Enschede (NL), including accomodation and a handmade world famous cheese sandwich lunch. The first customer who enters the Impossible Level will furthermore be provided with transport.

- Impossible worldwide newsletter presenting your Impossible images

- Specially handcrafted Gold Edition of the Impossible Pioneer Card
