About the book: Andrew A. Erish offers the first in-depth study and reassessment of the company most responsible for defining and popularizing American cinema. This story challenges the long-accepted Hollywood mythology that just isn’t true: that Paramount and Fox invented the feature film, that Universal created the star system, and that these companies, along with MGM and Warner Bros. Business. In fact, the truth about Vitagraph is far more interesting than the myths that later Mughals spread about themselves. Vitagraph was founded in 1897 by J. Stuart Blackton and Albert E. Smith and was the leading film producer for much of the silent film era. Vitagraph established America’s studio system, a division of labor with specialized artisans and artists, including a surprising number of women and minorities, whose aesthetic innovations have long been incorporated into virtually all commercial cinemas. They developed fundamental aspects of the form and content of American films, encompassing everything from framing, lighting, and performance style to an emphasis on character-oriented comedies and dramas in stories that respect and sometimes poke fun at each demographic of Vitagraph’s huge audience. The company overcame resistance to multi-reel films by building a national distribution network for its feature films. The international distribution of Vitagraph was even more successful, cultivating a worldwide predilection for American films that continues to this day. For most of its existence, America’s most influential studio was headquartered in Brooklyn, New York before moving to Hollywood. After all, here is a historically rigorous and thorough portrayal of the most influential producer of American motion pictures during the silent era. Based on valuable primary material long overlooked by other historians, Erish introduces readers to the fascinating, forgotten pioneers of Vitagraph.

Please note that only participants from the United States (excluding the territory of Puerto Rico) and Canada are eligible.
