Arbuckle’s A Reckless Romeo.
“I think this exhibit on New Jersey film history is excellent and
one of my favorite exhibits as it
tells the story not just of Fort Lee
but of New Jersey as we are the
birthplace of the American film
industry. We need to do a better
job of using this history in the 21st
century to showcase our state in
a better light and to bring back
some of this film / TV industry to
help improve our economy and
reconnect with an industry native
to this state,” said Commission
Founder and Fort Lee Museum
Operator Tom Meyers.
“I compare this exhibit to ones
we have mounted in our Fort Lee
Museum on film history such as
our 2012 Universal Studio Centennial: From Fort Lee to Universal City exhibit or our upcoming
2015 exhibit Fox Studio Centennial: From Fort Lee NJ to Century
City CA. The Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria, Queens has
fantastic permanent and changing
exhibits and we have borrowed
ideas for our exhibits from that
venue,” he added.
