Marifransia Studios/Logos

(Credit to Caidin for the CFC part, and Gilby, Logostrike, and BGVC for the MFS part.)

1981-1983
Caidin Film Company was formed by John Caidin in 1981. It had a distribution deal with Judy Garland Pictures.

1986-1988
Caidin Film Company went bankrupt in 1988.

1988-1989 (unused, reconstruction)
This company existed briefly during the transition from CFC and Marifransia, and never released any films. Though there is evidence this company existed, and this logo design was trademarked, the on-screen logo (which was allegedly used to plaster CFC logos on some prints) has not yet been found, and may just be an urban legend like the “Cokeburst”. This image is from a reconstruction made by YouTube user Gilby1385.

1989-1992
After the bankruptcy of Caidin Film Company, John Caidin formed Marifransia Motion Pictures, named after his daughters Marie, Frances, and Siana. The company was originally intended as a film company, but soon went into television production. Marifransia is mainly associated with Argosy Media and MTM Enterprises, but it has resisted offers to be bought out by ArgosyMTM Group.

2005-2013


In 2005, after John Caidin died of a heart attack, his daughters, Marie, Frances, and Siana Caidin, took over the Marifransia studio.
