Concerning $1000 (1916) Online

An inventor is lacking research funds. Complaining to his sister, she consoles him, then strolls into a garden. There she snaps a still photo with her nice new Kodak black and white amateur camera. The picture then wins $1000 at a graphic contest. She then gives her winnings to her brother for his research.

First fiction film made using the Eastman Kodak's Kodachrome process.

Although the George Eastman House lists this as fictional film, it also secretly served as an advertisement of the simplicity of use of their black and white amateur still camera. It also covertly demonstrates the new Kodachrome process Kodak had developed

DVD restored copy of the preserved print was copied at 19 frames per second from a 35mm print; preserved at the George Eastman House.

In addition to being shot on the grounds of George Eastman's gardens at his home, several scenes were shot in a makeshift studio on the roof of the Kodak Research Labs.
