Dimension Pictures was a film studio that was founded in 1971 and primarily worked in the exploitation field.[1]

It is not to be confused with the later Dimension Films, founded in 1992.

History

Dimension was founded by Lawrence Woolner, an exhibitor who had made a number of films, including several with Roger Corman. He hired the husband and wife team of Stephanie Rothman and Charles S. Swartz to run the filmmaking division. Rothman and Swartz left in 1975 but the company continued until about 1981.[2] After the company's bankruptcy, a majority of the films were acquired by 21st Century Film Corporation.[3]
