INTO THE LIGHT—THE FURIOUS BIRTH OF THE MOTION PICTURE INDUSTRY
A half-hour documentary special with NJN Public Television, 1995
Long before there was Hollywood, there was Fort Lee, New Jersey–the filmmaking capital of the world, at least for the first decade. This multiple Emmy-winning special tells the story of the inventors, promotors, and innovators who got the infant industry up and running–hard, fast, and furious. And, as we learn, it wasn’t all the doing of Thomas Edison.
