Red Lion Pictures

Red Lion Pictures is an online drama production company, originally formed on 19th December 2011. It has come under several names, including (but not exhaustively) 'LemRoss (Pictures)', 'LemRoX (Pictures)' and 'Red Lion Productions'. It has also involved several members of the Writers Express forum over the years, including AppleCobbler, Chloe (previously Noxy), Joe (previously Jaay), Lem, and company founder Ross. However since 2015, when it adopted the 'Red Lion Pictures' moniker - Red Lion being a reference to the famous pub used in the company's soap opera The Avenue (2011-16) - it has been run solely by Chloe and Ross.
The company is most famous for its founding project, The Avenue, a serial drama with a comedic streak which ran from 2011-16. It was the forum's longest-running project at five years exactly, until it was overtaken by a new, one-off episode of the romantic drama series City Girls in August 2021. Red Lion's only other project was the North Yorkshire-based serial drama We're All In This Together, which ran for eight episodes between 11th July 2016 and 3rd February 2017, before it was dropped. Known as WAITT, it was helmed solely by Ross, with Chloe - who had originally conceived the project - acting as a series consultant and visual designer. We're All In This Together was licensed under the Red Lion Pictures moniker, though it was written and produced solely by Ross. It was however conceived by Chloe, who otherwise had no part in its continuity.
The Avenue was founded by Ross, but several other forum members have written and/or produced for the project over the years, including AppleCobbler, Jaay, Lem and most notably Chloe, who remains part of the company.
Currently Ross runs the company alone, but Chloe is still a partner. Since AppleCobbler became an inacitve forum member, the rights to Uncertain Nights - which both Chloe and Ross were involved with - now belong to Red Lion Pictures.
==Logo==
The company has had several similar logos since it was officially formed in 2016. The most recent one - launched on 16th August 2020 - uses a new, upper case, Anchor font. The 'three red plinths' background has been replaced by a stripey variety of different shades of red, designed as ever by Imago Productions. Imago describe it as 'akin to a red meteor shower'.
