About

My name is Michael Powell, and I've been passionate about movies and film history ever since I can remember.

Over the years I've especially gained a real appreciation for what it considered the pioneering period of world cinema, dating from the dawn of moving pictures in the 1890s until the emergence of sound in the late 1920s.

Through a lot of online research I've discovered a surprising amount of material from this period, such as early fan magazines, movie industry insider publications, and books about film that paint a vivid portrait of a fascinating time and place most of us will never know. My goal is to bring this era to life by sharing some of these materials in a curated format, and set some modern context and information about my own feelings for their relevance.

If you have any suggestions on topics, or just want to get in touch with me, send me a note at earlycinemadigest at gmail.com
