Creating your own photo overlays can take time, and tons of unneccessary effort when there are tons of freebies online. Today, we have some fresh, unique 35mm film light leaks overlays for you to play around with on your next project!

These film light leaks & overlays were created by our co-founder, Matt, during his process while shooting, developing, and scanning all of his own film at home – from there, he used all of the ‘scraps’ from his photo-shoots to create some cool light leaks, film grain, and dust so you can use them on all of your photos or videos and create some cool, old-school magic. :)

In this free kit, you’ll get 5 unique film light leak effects that you can overlay and blend onto your photos to get that real 35mm film feel! There is also 1 BONUS film border with a small light leak that you can use to create a cool vintage looking image.
