Background

Keystone Studios was a film studio founded on July 4, 1912 by Mark Sennett with backing from Adam Kessel and Charles O. Baumann. In 1915, the company became a production unit of the Triangle Film Corporation. Two years later, Sennett became an independent producer, leading to the studio's demise before closing after bankruptcy in 1935.
