The time period covered is 1911 through June, 1998. There are two lists, one in alphabetical order by the film title and the other in chronological order. The period between 1911 and 1930 was the most active for local filming. "She could hear the hoof-beats of the Sheriff's posse in the valley. One minute more might be too late." Advertisement for "Broken Chains," The Surf, March 10, 1923 "…by 1922 Hollywood's share of American production stood at 84 percent, with 12 percent remaining in New York and 4 percent filming elsewhere....But what of that 4 percent produced outside either Hollywood or New York? With 748 features released in 1922, this suggests that some 30 feature pictures (and a proportionate number of shorts) were filmed elsewhere. Even allowing for a handful of imports, the number is still significant. The bulk of these films were made by small local producers without access to national distribution. Many remained unseen. Some were sold on a states’ rights basis and never played in a key theater or won the attention of an urban reviewer. For historians, these regional productions are the 'terra incognita' of the American film industry. Local historical societies treasure vague records of production in Ithaca, Providence, Ogden, and Augusta, for example, but so little information survives that most historians simply omit this activity altogether." Richard Koszarski, An Evening's Entertainment: The Age of the Silent Feature Picture, 1915-1928 As the Richard Koszarski quote indicates, researching local film history can be a daunting task. Fortunately for Santa Cruz, a number of area historians and journalists have taken an—at least passing—interest in the city's colorful relationship with the "moving pictures." The work they have done, the articles they have written, provide valuable overviews of film history in Santa Cruz County. Despite this effort, however, there is still a sense that information on local films (in particular those dating back to the 1910's and 1920's) remains fragmentary and scattered. The local history articles that have at one time or another appeared on the subject are not necessarily easy to find, and it was, in any case, rarely their intention to reconstruct detailed 2 accounts of the production of specific films. The lists provided here are an attempt to bring together the general (numerous titles compiled from a wide variety of sources) with the specific (contemporary newspaper articles) in a single, accessible source. They are intended as supplements and guides to the work that has already been done. It is important to note that, although the lists presented here are extensive, they are not exhaustive. This is due to two factors: the nature of this particular project and the difficulties inherent to researching local film history in general. The following points contributed to the limitations of these lists: 1. In the early days of film (particularly the 1910's and 1920's) "moving pictures" were being shot at such a furious pace that local papers often didn't have the chance to report the filming before crews had completed work and returned to their studios in the south. Reports of filming activity that were published often contained no mention of titles, studios, or even specific actors or actresses--making it very difficult to determine how many (much less exactly which) films were produced in the area. 2. The fact that film titles often tended to change between the time of filming and their appearance in theaters added yet another variable to the equation. To avoid as much confusion as possible in listing these films, alternate titles were included. 3. The dates provided in parentheses following the titles of films on this list are release dates. In those instances where a release date could not be confirmed, the date given is the year in which the film was shot. If a film was made in one year but not released or copyrighted until a later date, this discrepancy is noted beneath the title. Where possible, dates (and titles) were confirmed using "The American Film Institute Catalog" and the "Motion Picture Catalog of Copyright Entries." Every effort was made to use the most commonly accepted date. Where a lack of information made this impossible, the date was approximated. 4. Finally, the research done for this project was limited to sources available at the Downtown Branch of the Santa Cruz Public Library and to the unpublished material from the Barbara Giffen collection in the History Archives, Museum of Art and History at the McPherson Center, Santa Cruz, California. 3 Bibliography Newspapers Many of the articles dating from the 1910's and 1920's were found with the assistance of the following indexes, available at the Downtown Branch of the Santa Cruz Public Library: Santa Cruz Daily Surf Local News Index: 1909-1919 Santa Cruz Evening News Local News Index: 1919-1924 Santa Cruz Evening News Local News Index: 1925-Oct. 1928 The following newspapers were cited and/or consulted in the completion of this project.

As I turn the last pages of this manuscript, I am seated in my summer home, Echo Lodge at Mercer, Wisconsin. Here my sainted Mother loved to sojourn with us. Through a long period of lustrous summer days did we thus abide here together beneath these virgin pine and spruce trees by the side of Echo Lake. Today her love is the most radiant gift I have in my casket of Zif e's memories. Elta Olive Boydstun Young, (the wife of Clifford Young) , my sister, is with me as I pen these words of dedica­ tion; therefore, I wish to include her in these lines of love. Our brother, -Charles Terrel Boydstun, would were he present with us at this moment, wish to be included in this dedicatory page; hence, I pen his name also.

  • Photo Journalism, Film and Animation
    Syllabus – Photo Journalism, Films and Animation Photo Journalism: Photojournalism is a particular form of journalism (the collecting, editing, and presenting of news material for publication or broadcast) that employs images in order to tell a news story. It is now usually understood to refer only to still images, but in some cases the term also refers to video used in broadcast journalism. Photojournalism is distinguished from other close branches of photography (e.g., documentary photography, social documentary photography, street photography or celebrity photography) by complying with a rigid ethical framework which demands that the work be both honest and impartial whilst telling the story in strictly journalistic terms. Photojournalists create pictures that contribute to the news media, and help communities connect with one other. Photojournalists must be well informed and knowledgeable about events happening right outside their door. They deliver news in a creative format that is not only informative, but also entertaining. Need and importance, Timeliness The images have meaning in the context of a recently published record of events. Objectivity The situation implied by the images is a fair and accurate representation of the events they depict in both content and tone. Narrative The images combine with other news elements to make facts relatable to audiences. Like a writer, a photojournalist is a reporter, but he or she must often make decisions instantly and carry photographic equipment, often while exposed to significant obstacles (e.g., physical danger, weather, crowds, physical access). subject of photo picture sources, Photojournalists are able to enjoy a working environment that gets them out from behind a desk and into the world.

  • Silent Films: Made in San Rafael by Scott Fletcher Marin History Museum Volunteer in 1914, Just Three Years After East Coast
    Silent Films: Made in San Rafael By Scott Fletcher Marin History Museum Volunteer In 1914, just three years after East Coast motion picture companies had begun to relocate to Hollywood, San Rafael’s Sun Valley neighborhood became the home to one of the premier movie-making studios of the young film industry. The California Motion Picture Corporation was the brainchild of Comstock mining heir, Herbert Payne, who wanted to make films to promote tourism and industry in California. He hired friend and San Francisco automobile dealer George Middleton to help him produce the films. The company built their state-of-the-art studio on land between present-day Forbes and 5th Avenues and J and K Streets. They had selected the site for its proximity to numerous natural environments in which to film, and its nearly year-round sunny climate; an absolute necessity before interior lighting technology had been developed. In its early days, the studio produced a series of travelogue films for eastern and mid- western theater circuits called, The Golden Gate Weekly. But George Middleton and his wife, Beatriz Michelena had greater aspirations. Beatriz was a beautiful opera prima donna on the San Francisco stage who had immense star power. She and her husband recognized the emerging popularity and profitability of motion pictures and were soon producing, directing and acting in prominent feature-length films. They chose for their first “filmatization,” a Bret Harte short story, Salomy Jane’s Kiss, a western romance that was released as Salomy Jane. Michelena’s natural beauty and acting experience gave her the tools to make the transition to silent film and, for a time, rival the popularity of silent film star Mary Pickford.

    Early Film Studios in Santa Cruz County By Ann Young I. “Moving the Movies to Santy Kruz" II. The Beginnings: A Western Pioneer Village III. The Establishment of the DeLaveaga Park Studio IV.

If you believe that factual statements in a local history article are incorrect and can provide documentation, please contact the library. 1 I. "Moving the Movies to Santy Kruz"* "Other arts...have been communal, focusing the energies, hopes, and beliefs of many. But the art of film would be vastly public, and have the public as its patron. Its future was full of mystery and of promise suggested in the early twentieth century, when it suddenly became the most popular American art. The "movies" (which entered our written language about 1912) recreated all the world's dimensions with bold abandon." Daniel J. Boorstin, The Creators In the 1910's and '20's, audiences around the world were both mesmerized and thrilled by a new technology that put pictures in motion. Fascination with the medium's novelty, its apparent magic, created a nearly insatiable appetite for movies. For many fledgling studios, speed of production was thus often of the essence. The fact that a film's content might suffer as a result of this was generally overlooked by eager theater patrons anxiously awaiting the newest releases.
