About the Author
Michael R. Hurwitz is a film historian, lecturer, documentary filmmaker, and now author. History comes to life in his writings, as he takes us back in time. Looking through his eyes, his subject becomes our reality. Whether academic or reflective, his writings provide a time capsule for the reader. Never has history been so pertinent nor accessible. "As we stand on the precipice of change, we must look back before we can look forward." says Hurwitz.

Insight Into the Creation of The Modern Day Feature Film,
By
This review is from: D. W. Griffith's Film, The Birth of a Nation: The Film that Transformed America (Paperback)
This book is thoroughly researched with in-depth analysis of the pioneer filmmaker, D.W. Griffith, his contribution to filmmaking, and the genesis of the modern-day feature film. As well as educational, this is an entertaining, easy read, filled with insight into the early days of motion pictures. As movie consumers, we must be informed viewers. Having a glimpse into the process of both the film and the filmmaker empowers us to view films today with more perspective. We are better able to seperate opinion of the artist from facts. Art versus propaganda persists as much today as at any time in our history.
