American film pioneer and director (1870-1941) who was one of the most important early filmmakers. He worked for Thomas Edison and directed The Great Train Robbery (1903), one of the first narrative films. He directed Tess of the Storm Country (1914) starring Mary Pickford for Famous Players Film Company. Porter was known for his technical innovations in editing and narrative storytelling, though his style was soon surpassed by more dynamic directors.
