Nov 8, 2010 · Thomas H. Ince (1882–1924) was a popular motion-picture producer and director in the 1910s. He built his reputation and fortune by making feature films that appealed to middle-class tastes. In addition to his westerns and the epics for which he is best known, Ince made a number of social-problem films.
On June 26, 1917, Ince signed a distribution contract with Paramount that stipulated he was to produce one to four “special features,” at least six thousand feet in length and at least four months apart, each year for two years beginning September 1, 1917.
In a few short years, Ince made the transition from the stage, to motion pictures and pioneer of the new industry, to revolutionizing its structure through the creation of the continuity script and segmenting of production.
