Larry Levinson Productions (LLP)[1] is the production company of Larry Levinson. Levinson is an American screenwriter, producer and the president of Levinson Productions. By 2016, the company had produced over 200 films.

History

The production company Larry Levinson Productions was founded by Larry Levinson in 1993

Sonia Braga
and a Bronze Wrangler for best television feature film. Streets of Laredo and Rough Riders were produced by LLP for NBC and TNT - both major networks; both productions had large budgets and long shooting schedules where the accent was firmly on quality.

With the expiration of

RHI Entertainment's exclusive contract with Hallmark Channel, Levinson Productions became the channel's sole producer. By 2007, LLP was joined by additional producers.[3] His PixL cable channel began carriage on Dish Network in December 2010.[4] In March 2012, Levinson Productions moved its future productions' distribution from Sonar Entertainment, formerly RHI, to SevenOne International.[1]

Levinson Productions began having troubles with various unions. In early 2009, LLP had drawn pickets from

Crown Media Holdings, Hallmark Channel's parent company, were being taken to arbitration by the Writers' Guild of America over unpaid residuals for 38 movies.[6]

In 2013, LLP Production Services started the city planning approval process to expand its studio lot to the adjacent property on Smith Road, Simi Valley, California. In May 2016, the final proposal was presented to the planning commission.[7]

Producer

Larry Levinson began his career as a screenwriter on the television series Laverne & Shirley in 1982, and later in 1985, working for Cannon Entertainment, he wrote the Chuck Norris war picture Missing in Action 2.

The company was incorporated in 1993 in the state of California and has been in business for 18 years.
