William Selig

William Nicholas Selig (March 14, 1864 – July 15, 1948) was a pioneer of the American motion picture industry. In 1896 he created one of the first film production companies, Selig Polyscope Company of Chicago. Selig claimed to have made the first narrative film shot in Los Angeles, The Count of Monte Cristo (1908 film), and, in 1909, what may have been the first permanent L.A. studio, in Edendale, Los Angeles, and being the first U.S. company to shoot a two-reel film, Damon and Pythias (1908), and the first true serial (film), The Adventures of Kathlyn (1913-1914).
