Statement Regarding Amazon.com Links on the Silent Era Website FEATURED TITLE Thomas Ince: Hollywood’s Independent Pioneer by Brian Taves “Brian Taves has written the first book length study in English of Thomas Ince, the unjustly forgotten producer-director responsible for creating the classical Hollywood studio system of production. Taves’ lucid account of a career cut short by a premature death, debunks the many myths surrounding Ince’s mysterious last days, while placing Ince in proper perspective as one of Hollywood’s greatest early pioneers.” — Jan-Christopher Horak, director of UCLA Film and Television Archive.
