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]
