film 2



The first movie studio in the Hollywood area, Neston Studio, was founded in 1911 by Al Christie for David Horsley in an old building on the northwest corner of Sunset Boulevard and Gower Street. In the same year, another fifteen Independents settled in Hollywood. Hollywood came to be so strongly associated with the film industry that the word "Hollywood" came to be used colloquially to refer to the entire industry.
The major business centers of film making are in the United States, Hong Kong and India. In Europe, France and United Kingdom are the countries that lead movie production.
