A global hub for Hollywood history UW–Madison’s Wisconsin Center for Film and Theater Research preserves priceless materials from the entertainment industry. That precious bit of movie history is safeguarded by UW–Madison’s Wisconsin Center for Film and Theater Research (WCFTR). A 1992 screenplay for the original “Jurassic Park” movie written by UW alum David Koepp is among the many Hollywood treasures preserved at the Wisconsin Center for Film and Theater Research. Many provide insights into not only film history, but American culture and heritage as well. For his course called American Film Industry in the Era of the Studio System, Hoyt has students select and analyze a paper artifact from U.S. cinema history prior to 1940.
