Silent Film in the Bay

 Film in the Bay started back when Muybridge experimented with the world of photography. Funded by a wealthy industrialist, Muybridge had the infrastructure to invent new machines that showcased cinema and motion picture like never before. The root of old film began when Muybridge along with Stanford demonstrated a new device in San Francisco at the Art Association. This played a role in early cinema because many aspiring filmmakers would make their way down to the bay to film in the abundant sunlight. Many of these early films became branded in the art and transformed the craft into what it is today .
