1914

[modifica]
Fotograma de El naixement d'una nació (1915)
Fotograma de Intolerance (1916)

Aquest any, després de rodar Judith of Bethulia amb unes despeses que van duplicar el pressupost per a la pel·lícula, la Biograph va ser conscient que més que un actiu per a la companyia, Griffith era un perill per a la seva viabilitat econòmica. Per això li van indicar que si volia continuar a la Biograph ja no dirigiria més sinó que seria el supervisor d'altres directors.[7] Griffith va abandonar la productora amb la seva companyia d’actors i tècnics per incorporar-se a la Reliance/Majestic.

1915

[modifica]

Aquest any Griffith rodaria només estrenaria una de les seves obres mestres que també la seva pel·lícula més polèmica pel seu caràcter racista. A partir d’aquell moment formaria la seva pròpia productora, la David W. Griffith Corp., distribuint les pel·lícules a través de diferents companyies.

1916

[modifica]
Lillian Gish i RIchard Barthelmess a Lliris trencats (1918)

En resposta a les acusacions de racisme i amb les guanys de la pel·lícula anterior[8] Griffith filmà aquell any una de les pel·lícules més influents del cinema mut, Intolerance

1918

[modifica]

1919

[modifica]
Lillian Gish a Way Down East (1920)

Aquest any, conjuntament amb Charles Chaplin, Mary Pickford i Douglas Fairbanks funda la United Artists. Griffith havia rodat Lliris trencats que havia de ser distribuïda per la Famous Players-Lasky Corp. però va decidir adquirir-la per 250.000 dòlars per distribuir-la a través de la United Artists[9] obtenint uns guanys de 700.000 dòlars.[10]

1920

[modifica]

Darreres pel·lícules

[modifica]

L'associació de Griffith United Artists va ser per pocs anys. Moltes de les pel·lícules posteriors no van tenir un gran èxit comercial i el director es retirà el 1931.
