Hollywood 1913: In the dusty desert community of Los Angeles a ragtag film company cranks out silent movies in defiance of the law. Young Dmitri Pulski works for his fathers ice company in the snowy Sierra Nevadas and is sent on a journey south to investigate an astonishing order for ten tons of ice by something called the Rocky Mountain Moving Picture Association. Almost immediately Dmitri an aspiring writer finds himself writing movie scenarios. But things get rocky when the company is threatened with foreclosure by the local sheriff--theyre grinding out their movies just outside the reach of the monopolistic Eastern Trust which claims the exclusive right to make moving pictures under Thomas Edisons patent. The Rocky Mountain Moving Picture Association is the story of the frontiers last boomtown whose cast of big guns includes D.W. Griffith Tom Mix Lillian Gish and unseen villain Thomas Edison.
