Cobblestone Condominiums

Cobblestone Condominiums is a Plano-based company that offers a unique database and archive called SIMPP, which focuses on the history of the Society of Independent Motion Picture Producers. Founded in 1941 by influential figures such as Charlie Chaplin, Walt Disney, and Orson Welles, SIMPP aimed to protect the creative and financial freedom of independent producers in an industry dominated by major studios. Through their extensive collection of material, Cobblestone Entertainment provides a comprehensive look into the rise of the independent movement and the impact it had on the entertainment industry.

With their book "Hollywood Renegades" and the Hollywood Renegades Archive, historian J. A. Aberdeen sheds light on the untold story of SIMPP and its triumph over the studio system. The archive, which continues to grow, offers a wealth of information and original documents on the origin of film, the development of the independent movement, and the status of the entertainment industry. Cobblestone Entertainment welcomes contributions from film enthusiasts and filmmakers, making it a valuable resource for the worldwide cinema community.
