		Produced at the height of the American independent movement, THX 1138 stars Robert Duvall in a thought-provoking and visually rich exploration of a theme that would repeat itself throughout Lucas’s career: One man’s quest to realize his own potential amid an oppressive society.
		He and many of the filmmakers he brought to Zoetrope wanted to find artistic ways to reflect their concerns about changes in our society, about a shift away from creativity and individual achievement and toward a corporate, consumerist mentality.
		Coppola publicly announced THX 1138 as American Zoetrope’s first project in a lineup that, the company promised, would also include such films as Apocalypse Now –; an anti-war film to be directed by Lucas – and Coppola’s own The Conversation.

		Angular and art deco, American Zoetrope seems to jut out of the middle of the block like the prow of a giant 1920's cruise liner that was accidentally parked in the middle of downtown San Francisco.
		Today American Zoetrope is in a unique position to serve as a facility, since it was originally designed initially to meet the needs of in-house film productions.
		Because all tools and processes were developed with their own needs in mind, a filmmaker can find a production haven at American Zoetrope because all the tools and processes were developed during the real-world film productions.

	SparkNotes: Apocalypse Now: Context
		In 1969, Coppola founded American Zoetrope with young filmmaker George Lucas, hoping to create a film company that could be financially and creatively independent from the conservative, restrictive Hollywood studio system.
		At the time, the American antiwar movement was gaining power, as citizens became increasingly bitter and resentful about the United States’ role in the war.
		By 1971, 70 percent of Americans sought the immediate withdrawal of American troops, and a majority thought the war was a mistake.

		The fun starts with a truly great documentary on the early history of Francis Ford Coppola's American Zoetrope studios, of which both Lucas and Murch were a part.

		All the women at his American Zoetrope studio, he suggests, could be outfitted in uniforms.
		Whether it's a sensible idea (a woman executive in the room looks doubtful), this seems to be a truly Coppola moment, marked by enthusiasm that spills over from his best-known realm, film, into any other that strikes his fancy.
		That spirit has turned him from a filmmaker into the head of an small empire, which includes the San Francisco-based American Zoetrope with its film and TV productions, the nearby Niebaum-Coppola winery and the New York-based Zoetrope: All Story literary journal.

		For example, we built this DVD Lab at Zoetrope largely because we felt that the early DVDs we were seeing were fundamentally not taking advantage of all that the new medium offers.
		In the 1970s and early 80s, Zoetrope was making feature films using technologies and practices unheard of in the film industry.
		Thus far, the Zoetrope team has done an outstanding job of delivering the goods on their DVD releases.

		Shortly after finishing up "The Rain People," Coppola led his exodus of tyros from Hollywood to San Francisco and established American Zoetrope as a studio where a hundred visions could bloom.
		Although "The Godfather" was a Paramount picture, not a Zoetrope film, Coppola made a host of creative choices with his once and future Zoetrope cohorts.
		What the two films said together was that for the immigrant groups that have become this country's backbone, the American Dream was always limited by the burdens of poverty, unsettled Old World scores and insular cultures.

		The company intended to produce mainstream pictures to finance "off-the-wall" projects and give first-time directors their chance to direct, but when Warner Bros. disliked Zoetrope's initial offering, Lucas' futuristic "THX-1138", and demanded their money back, Coppola was $300,000 in debt and unsure of his future as a filmmaker.
		Though the bankruptcy of American Zoetrope (the studio) signaled his ultimate failure to establish himself independent of the Hollywood power structure, the success of "Dracula" restored Coppola's fortune, and subsequent investments have thrived.
		Doubling as a film development lab, ZOETROPE hearkens back to the golden age of film, a time of greater respect for the short-story form as an impetus for movies.
