Guzin takes Leo to Hollywood, where he can learn about the film industry. Filmmaking in the greater Los Angeles area preceded the establishment of filmmaking in Hollywood.

^{The company decided to explore new territories and traveled five miles north to the little village Hollywood, which was friendly and enjoyed the movie company filming there. Griffith then filmed the first movie ever shot in Hollywood, a melodrama set in Mexican-owned California in the 1800s. The movie company stayed there for months and made several films before returning to New York.}

^{The first studio in Hollywood was established by the New Jersey-based Centaur Co., which wanted to make westerns in California. They converted a road house into a movie studio in October 1911, calling it Nestor Studio after the name of the western branch of their company.}

^{By 1915, the majority of American films were being produced in the Los Angeles area.}
