- Note
- During the Silent Era and Golden Age of Hollywood (1915 through the 1940s), larger movie production companies owned and operated their own studios. In 1915 producer/directors Thomas Ince, D.W. Griffith, and Mack Sennett joined together to form the short-lived Triangle Motion Picture Company. Previously, Griffith had taken over the New York Motion Picture plant and renamed it the Fine Arts Studios. Located near the intersection of Hollywood and Sunset Boulevards and Virgil Avenue, Fine Arts became the vehicle for Triangle's productions. Intolerance, directed by Griffith and shot at Fine Arts in 1916, was the most expensive film of its time at $1.9 million. The famous Babylonian scene from the film influenced the exterior design of the Hollywood and Highland Shopping Center completed in 2001.
