Bellwether Pictures is an American film production studio based in Los Angeles, United States. The company was founded by screenwriter, film director and producer Joss Whedon and his then-wife Kai Cole as co-founder/producer.[1] Their purpose is to bring micro-budget films directly to an audience, bypassing "the classic studio structure".[2]
