Before Hollywood There Was Fort Lee, N. J.: Early Movie Making In New Jersey (DVD)
Amazing as it may seem now, Fort Lee, New Jersey was once the epicenter of American film production. This documentary uses photographic evidence, painstakingly curtailed from private collections, as well as restored footage from films including Edison's RESCUED FROM AN EAGLE'S NEST. D.W. Griffith was an early patron of the studios, and his film THE NEW YORK HAT is also included here, amongst a veritable treasure trove of early American filmmaking. Sadly, by 1935 the studio was literally in ruins, some moving footage of the once incredible glass structure that formed the studio is included here, signalling the decline of this mecca of East coast filmmaking, which allowed the film industry to move on to create the West coast Hollywood industry that is still thriving today.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Audio: Dolby Digital 5.0 - EnglishAdditional Products: Booklet
