Foxstar Productions

Foxstar Productions was a television production subsidiary of News Corporation. It was founded in 1993 to make TV movies and mini-series under Steve Bell (the former network production president of 20th Century Fox Television) and producer Kevin Burns. That same year, they entered the television documentary business through its production subsidiary, Van Ness Films.
