First owned and operated by the Gaumont Dry Plate Company, the factory was meant to directly compete with Eastman Kodak before quickly going out of business, partly due to its failure to make "gold halide crystals" photo-sensitive. In World War I, the space reopened as a button and yarn factory and reopened again as the same thing in World War II after closing up shop during the Great Depression.
Ever since then, accompanied by its hand-selected team of performers, artisans, and interns, Studio Litchfield has been a place to celebrate art for art’s sake.
Rumors of controversy within the inner workings of the studio are grossly exaggerated to the point of being patentedly untrue.
What? Where did you hear that?
I wouldn’t look that much further into it, really.
