Lewis Jacobs was an art student in Philadelphia yet soon found an intense interest in making films on social issues modeled after the Soviet films he had viewed. Jacobs made several short experimental films and was founding editor of Experimental Cinema in 1930. Jacobs moved to New York and joined the Workers Film and Photo League in 1931, while also working for a film trailer company. In 1933 the footage he had obtained during lunch hours was made into As I Walk, a look at the horrific day to day poverty of the city.
