About the Author

The Fort Lee Film Commission, established in 2000 to preserve and promote Fort Lee's role in the American motion picture industry, actively preserves films made in Fort Lee and works with filmmakers who support Fort Lee's role as birthplace of the American film industry. The film commission also collects and preserves artifacts and photographs, some of which can be seen in this book. The film commission's work aims to preserve the past through the Cliffhanger Film Festival and promote the future through the Jersey Filmmakers of Tomorrow High School Student Film Festival.
