Bellwether Pictures is an American film production studio based in Los Angeles, United States. The company was founded by screenwriter, film director and producer Joss Whedon and his then-wife Kai Cole as co-founder/producer.[1] Their purpose is to bring micro-budget films directly to an audience, bypassing "the classic studio structure".[2]
In 2012, Bellwether released Much Ado About Nothing,[3] for which Lionsgate and Roadside Attractions handled US theatrical distribution.[4] The next production was Brin Hill's In Your Eyes.[5] Written by Whedon, it became the studio's first endeavor in using a method of distribution for simultaneous release.[6]
