Lee Mendelson Film Productions opened in 1963.
Fresh from their previous two year productions at KPIXTV (where they won a Peabody Award for the best locally produced documentaries in the country), writer-produce-director Lee Mendelson and Cinematographer and editor Sheldon Fay Jr. created the documentary A MAN NAMED MAYS, which became a major hit on NBC-TV. They followed this with A BOY NAMED CHARLIE BROWN, a documentary on Charles Schulz and his "Peanuts" characters.
LMFP has won 12 prime time Emmys, numerous other Emmy nominations, as well as two Grammy and one Oscar nomination.
Mendelson Productions is also the Publisher of the Vince Guaraldi Library of Charlie Brown music.
