It was also announced that any other directors wishing to join the company would be welcomed. Future director Howard Hawks became involved raising finances for several pictures for the company. The company announced plans to have at least thirty releases in its first year. Before long, however, this proved to be too ambitious a target. Many of the directors were still under contract to produce films for other studios before they could start work for Associated Producers. One of the most financially successful of the company's releases was Maurice Tourneur's The Last of the Mohicans. Otherwise the company was struggling financially, and according to Variety was losing $5,000 a day by summer 1921. Eventually the company abandoned its idea of independent releasing, and signed a deal for its films to be handled by First National Pictures. Soon afterwards production was stopped completely. (en)
- Associated Producers, Incorporated est une société américaine de distribution de films pour les producteurs indépendants, dont la création a été annoncée le 8 novembre 1919 par Thomas H. Ince, et qui fut active jusqu'en 1922 et sa fusion avec Associated First National Pictures. Fin 1919, Maurice Tourneur, J. Parker Read Jr., Thomas H. Ince, Mack Sennett, Marshall Neilan, Allan Dwan et George Loane Tucker créent cette société de distribution surnommée « The Big Six »[réf. nécessaire], dans le but de faire distribuer leurs films, un peu selon le principe d'United Artists créée au début de la même année. L'idée de départ de Ince était de créer une structure permettant de contrecarrer l'intégration verticale alors en cours dans l'industrie du cinéma, avec des firmes regroupant les activités de production, de distribution et de projection en salles.
