Griffith was a producer and director credited with creating many now-standard techniques of narrative film. He created many short films but is particularly known today for the expensive spectacles Birth of a Nation (1915), highly controversial (and irredeemably racist) due to its sympathetic portrayal of the KKK, and Intolerance (1916). He hired Anita Loos to work as a writer on his production team at Biograph and then Triangle Film Corporation.
