This episode we finish up our series on early animation by covering Gertie the Dinosaur and The Sinking of the Lusitania, both animated by Winsor McCay. Next time its back to Europe, where we will cover the the effect of the first world war on European film! I decided to end the Patreon, at least for the foreseeable future. It was a hard decision, but I wasn't in the position to devote the time that I wanted and needed to to make the channel what I wanted it to be. A special thank you to all my patrons for their support. I hope that I am able to find a way to bring all of the ideas I had for it to life for you in the future!If you would like to contact me, you can email me at historyoffilmpodcast@gmail.com.You can visit historyoffilmpodcast.com to access helpful resources for this episode.The history of the film has a discord server, which you can get access through this here link:discord.gg/Ud8EcEzvSFSupport the show
