Today's Protagonist: A Brief History into the Birth of Film
Part 8: A BRIEF HISTORY INTO THE BIRTH OF FILM
Imagine you're playing trivia with friends and the question comes up:
What state did film originate in?
A) California
B) New York
C) New Jersey
D) New Mexico
We wouldn't be surprised if you chose A or B, but if you chose D... Well, we may have to question your sanity.
Obviously, the surprise is that our very own Garden State is the home to celluloid. The first patent was made in 1887, Edison invented the Motion Picture Technology in West Orange, and the very first film, Fred Ott's Sneeze, was captured on this side of the Mississippi.
All the glorious movies and tv that have sprawled across decades all started in our backyard with one shot of a man sneezing.
Who would have thought?
What does this mean for me?
This means that we are returning back to our roots. You may be dreaming of the Hollywood sign as a backdrop to the classic era of filmmaking, but really...
The NJ Turnpike is where it all started.
We are all part of a movement that is bursting at the seams and is coming back with the strength to carry us all forward.
By bringing the film industry back to NJ, we are returning to who we always were in the first place.
The more you know.
It's time to?make?movie magic?happen.
We’ll see you in the credits.
