An ad for its services ran in a 1921 edition of Wid's Yearbook.[4] The business was run by Walter Ford (W. F.) Tilford.[5]

Sets and studio space for filming The Purple Highway were provided by Tilford.[6]

In 1922, Tilford bought out Gotham Pictures.[7]

Wiard Boppo Ihnen became part owner and secretary of the film company.[8]

Tilford used Miami Studios buildings.[9]

The company ran short of financing despite optimism after the three films shot at the Miami studio in 1924 becoming moneymakers. It folded and made no more films.[10]
