'This Is Where I Came In' is a novel about the earliest days of the motion picture business. A teenage boy in 1896 Texas sees the first exhibition of Thomas Edison's Vitascope machine and begins a journey which will dramatically change his life. He helps shape the direction of film history with some innovative ideas even as he deals with his own coming of age. Readers whose knowledge of early film consists of Charlie Chaplin or the Keystone Kops will find fascinating glimpses into the almost-unknown early days of moving pictures and the pioneers who brought them from a novelty item to an art form.
