Foster Photoplay Company was a film production business in Chicago, Illinois. It was founded in 1910 by William D. Foster[1] (also known as Juli Jones). It is widely considered to be the first film production company established by an African-American featuring all African-American casts. The company released a number of critically acclaimed films, including The Railroad Porter (1913), The Fall Guy (1913), and The Butler (1913). After the release of The Railroad Porter and The Fall Guy, the company became known for their films' slapstick-style comedy.
