This dissertation addresses how the Hollywood studio system used natural environments within the American West as locations for producing commercial moving images. How Hollywood represented such environments has, at times, significantly affected cultural views toward nature. In the contemporary moment, when the threat of climate change renders social attitudes on the environment more relevant than ever, locations sit at the nexus between the natural world, social and environmental history, and representations of nature on cinema screens. In this dissertation, I examine the production practices of Hollywood location shooting in the American West to conclude how such methods determined the way nature was represented in US feature films from the 1930s to the 1960s.To address how the selection and use of particular filming locations affected cinematic representations of the natural world, my dissertation adopts diverse approaches from ecocriticism, film studies, American studies, and digital humanities, along with environmental, industrial, and social history. Grounded in archival research drawn from numerous Hollywood productions, I describe the general practices of location shooting across the US film industry with an emphasis on how these conventions were transformed after World War II. This overview provides the necessary context for in-depth analyses of case studies on how individual films used specific kinds of natural locations, such as national parks and Native American land. In order to better connect the representations of the natural world to their social context, my dissertation also documents how towns in the American Southwest, along with governmental agencies and community organizations, solicited Hollywood film production for the indirect benefits of national tourist publicity.
