Hollywood

Arizona's film industry pales in comparison to, of course, Hollywood, California. The star studded streets have housed cinema's elite for over a century, but you may not know that the mere existence of Arizona caused Hollywood to erupt.

While the Grand Canyon State constantly feeds the filmmaking capitol of the world new talent, it's not often we get a movie about one of our own. That's finally changing.

Old Hollywood is a time long forgotten. It was an era where people saw movies for the stars, not their characters. Decades before Marvel and Star Wars dominated the box-office, it was the actors and directors people were obsessed with.

Arizona has fed Hollywood star power for more than a century now. Award winning actors, directors, and screenwriters have all called the Grand Canyon State home, but films typically aren't based on the lived experiences of Arizona residents.

Hollywood is one of the hardest places to break into, but one Arizona family has a plan.

Hollywood's biggest night has finally wrapped, and two Arizona natives won big.
