'''Keystone Studios''' was an early film studio founded in Edendale, California on July 4, 1912 by New York Motion Picture Company owners [[Mack Sennett]], Adam Kessel, and Charles O. Baumann. It was known as the '''Keystone Pictures Studio''', and referred to by '''The Keystone Film Company''' at its office; the name was taken from the side of a passing Pennsylvania Railroad train car, with one of the nicknames of Pennsylvania being "the Keystone State".
Keystone filmed in and around Glendale and Silver Lake within the Los Angeles area for several years, and its films were distributed by the Mutual Film Corporation between 1912 and 1915. The original main building was the first totally enclosed film stage and studio in history - as of 2021 is still standing at 1712 Glendale Blvd in Echo Park, Los Angeles, where it serves as a storage facility.

Keystone Studios became an autonomous production unit of the Triangle Film Corporation with D. W. Griffith and Thomas H. Ince in 1915. Sennett left in 1917 to produce his own independent films (which were eventually distributed through Paramount), and Keystone gradually declined, ending its run in 1935 after declaring bankruptcy. Much of the lighting and studio equipment was bought by Reymond King, who started the "Award Cinema Movie Equipment" company in Venice in November of the same year.
