Dimension was founded by Lawrence Woolner, an exhibitor who had made a number of films, including several with Roger Corman.

[2] He hired the husband and wife team of Stephanie Rothman and Charles S. Swartz to run the filmmaking division.

[2] Funds came from Sam Pulitzer, head of the Wembley Neckware Company who wanted to invest in movies.

She says that Pulitzer pulled out of the company by then and Wolmer did not want to renew his contract with the filmmakers.

Rothman: That was just as well, in our opinion, because we could see that, the way he was managing the company, it wasn’t likely to be very successful, and that what was happening is that a few pictures made money and the rest didn’t.
