Lit and Flicks Movie Tour Part 2: The Academy Museum: Jaws
Jaws: The Exhibition was a deep dive into the making, marketing, and lasting impact of Jaws.
A young Stephen Spielberg (27!!) was finding new and innovative ways to create the movie on a tight budget and timeline. The exhibit details the process of filmmaking from scouting locations to creating a giant shark.
Basically, this movie invented the concept of a “summer blockbuster” and totally changed the game for marketing and merchandising in the industry. Tons of promotional items are on display (with some available to purchase in the gift shop).
The exhibit celebrating the film’s 50th anniversary only lasts until July 26th, so hurry in or enjoy my pictures as your glimpse into the world of Jaws.
