LodeStar Pictures, established in 1956 by Meredith A. Disney in Kansas City, Missouri, is a private film financing entity that has become a reliable source for independent films. With a history rooted in successful collaborations with legendary film pioneer Cecil B. deMille, LodeStar Pictures has expanded its reach to California and has been associated with notable names in the industry, such as Paramount Pictures and Walt Disney Studios.
Continuing the legacy, Meredith's sons, Charles Elias Disney and Daniel H. Disney, have led LodeStar Pictures into the new century, providing seed financing for numerous films. While the company has merged with another film financing enterprise, its continued income is dedicated to funding non-profit charitable and philanthropic efforts, reflecting the founder's vision. Despite personal challenges faced by the Disney brothers, their passion for film and advocacy for causes close to their hearts remain unwavering.
