    San Francisco and Los Angeles, 1967 to 1984. Two filmmakers who came out of the same building try to solve the same problem from opposite ends. A motion picture is a company that must be built, staffed, spent and then dissolved on delivery, and the people who made it own nothing afterward.

    A motion picture is a company that is founded, staffed, financed and then dissolved on delivery. Everyone who made it scatters.

    Texas, California, London and the American interstate, 1984 to 2025. A film is a company that must be built, staffed and liquidated inside a year, and for most of the twentieth century the only people who could afford to build one were the people who already owned the means to finish it.

    Boston, Hollywood and Atlanta, 1919 to 2024. A motion picture is a company that is founded, staffed, financed and then dissolved on the day it is delivered, and almost everyone who makes one is renting the place where it happens. Four men refused to rent. Joseph P.
