Quote:
"In the larger sense [...] Nell Shipman's company failed because it represented an approach to film making that was at odds with the new industrial model. She lacked the hunger for power and control and the monopolistic urge of twentieth century capitalists. Her collaborative approach to production and strong sense of independence soon made her an anachronism in the emerging hierarchical and centralized film industry."
