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.

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]
