The History of Film

The History of Film Podcast has been on Haitus since May of 2022. This announcement officially ends that. Let's get back to it!

If you have any ideas on how I can improve the show, you can email me at historyoffilmpodcast@gmail.com.

See you soon!

-Jake!     

This episode we finish up our series on early animation by covering Gertie the Dinosaur and The Sinking of the Lusitania, both animated by Winsor McCay. Next time its back to Europe, where we will cover the the effect of the first world war on European film!

I decided to end the Patreon, at least for the foreseeable future. It was a hard decision, but I wasn't in the position to devote the time that I wanted and needed to to make the channel what I wanted it to be. A special thank you to all my patrons for their support. I hope that I am able to find a way to bring all of the ideas I had for it to life for you in the future!

This is the first of two episodes (only two, I promise) about the great animator Winsor McCay. We cover his life before he became a filmmaker, and his two first movies: Little Nemo (1911) and How a Mosquito Operates (1912).
