In
the early days of the twentieth century, movies weren’t made in California. As
America’s film pioneers traveled westward, Colorado became a beacon to them,
contributing to the early motion picture business with all the relish and gusto
of a western saga. The gorgeous natural scenery was perfect for the country’s
(and the world’s) growing infatuation with the West, turning Colorado itself
into a bigger star of the early cinema than any particular actor. Using rare
photos and contemporary accounts, writer and filmmaker Michael J. Spencer
explores the little-known filmmaking industry that flourished in the Rocky
Mountains between 1895 and 1915—west of New York but east of Hollywood.
