California Company Town (2008) : distribution, intrigue et streaming

Released in 2008, California Company Town is a notable film directed by Lee Anne Schmitt, running about 75 minutes.

What it’s about. Lee Anne Schmitt explores California's landscape and past to document the history of one-time boom towns built and abandoned by the industries that necessitated their creation. Sold as a limitless land expansive with free opportunity, California was actually, from its onset, fissured by the interwoven needs of private and public interests. Schmitt's film covers various locations through time, as the major industries of the early 20th century (mining, lumber, oil) give way to the military, eventually leading to multinational corporations, and the use of small towns as satellites for growing urban metropolises.

How it landed. With an audience score of 6.0/10, California Company Town has drawn a solid, mixed-to-positive response.
