What does Lightstream do?

We develop, finance and produce high-quality films of various budgets, sizes and genres, with strong thematic elements and wide commercial appeal. In other words, we make movies—hopefully, we make great movies, the kind of movies that make you remember why you love movies in the first place.

Our Vision

We believe in the power of stories, the joy of cinema, the importance of collaboration and the indomitability of the human spirit. We believe great movies originate from a place of love and courage, are conceived by acts of collective and individual will and are executed by highly focused teams fueled by passion, rigor and discipline.

Our Philosophy

We operate according to a few simple principles:

•Filmmakers are servants to the story.
•Every great movie can find the perfect audience.
•Timeless, universal themes will connect with audiences of all demographics.
•Decisions made in good faith will reap positive results and great movies can speak to our hearts and broaden our minds.
