For twenty-two years during the Cold War, the federal government operated a secret film studio in the Hollywood Hills, in a complex which has since been converted into a private residence. Called Lookout Mountain Air Force Station, the studio produced thousands of films from 1947 to 1969, for all branches of the armed services, as well as for the Atomic Energy Commission and other federal and private advanced weapons organizations. The self-contained filmmaking compound employed around 250 people, and covered 2.5 built-up acres, housing studios, film vaults, production areas and screening rooms.
Documentary, produced and directed by Peter Kuran, 2003.
