Running The Studio

The Movies gives you the freedom of the lot and if you play your cards right, the keys to Tinseltown will also be yours.

The Movies spans almost a century of film, during which the technology has constantly changed. From the first talkies to surround-sound and digital film, how you deal with the ever-changing gadgetscape will help determine your success or failure.
