Canadian pioneers in early Hollywood
Motion pictures have been a part of the culture of Canada since the industry began. == History == Around 1910, the East Coast filmmakers began to take advantage of the mild California winter climates, and after Nestor Studios, run by Canadian Al Christie, built the first permanent movie studio in Hollywood, a number of the movie companies expanded or relocated to the new Hollywood.
