The Balboa Amusement Producing Company (also known as Balboa Studios, and Balboa Feature Film Company)[1] was a film production company in Long Beach, California, from 1913 to 1918[2] that produced more than 1000 films,[2] around 90% of which have been lost.[2]
Some of the notable silent film stars who worked at the studios during this time are Fatty Arbuckle and Buster Keaton.[3] Charlie Chaplin also made three visits to the studios to visit Arbuckle's film shoots and to study studio management for his newly formed United Artists company.[4]
