Queens County USA – Hollywood Queens

Following in the wake of the first popular motion pictures made in the late 1800s, the early 1900s brought a growing public demand for more and more feature films. As a result, movie theaters, nationwide, were constructed in droves and film production companies were forming in numbers as well. The Manhattan-based Mirror Films Incorporated was one such company. In March of 1916, Mirror opened the doors to a new movie production studio in the quiet, unassuming neighborhood of Glendale, Queens. Join us for this episode of “Queens County USA” as host, Mark Bacino explores the story of Mirror Films and Queens’ humble contribution to the early days of filmmaking.
