You start on a sun-warmed sidewalk beside the Culver Hotel, headphones in, the city’s hum folding around the audio narrator. The first clip places you in the 1920s: developers, studio moguls and the ambitions that turned a small San Fernando Valley outpost into a working lot for cinema’s greats. As you walk, streets give way to the low-rise factories and storefronts that became stages, and the narrator points out the MGM/SONY gate where stars once drove to sets.
