What/where is Norman Studios?

Located in Jacksonville, FL, Norman Studios is one of the remaining silent film studios in the country and the only intact reminder of Jacksonville’s heyday as the winter film capital of America! The renovated complex will include a film museum and offer film-related programs. It will also tell the story of Richard Norman, a white film
pioneer and inventor, who was one of the first filmmakers to make movies starring all-African-American casts, during an era of racial stereotyping.
