3 unusual facts about Raybert Productions


Raybert Productions

Raybert was also the predecessor to BBS Productions, a New Hollywood production company founded by Rafelson, Schneider, and Schneider’s childhood friend Stephen Blauner.

Unfortunately there was a falling-out between the two sides, with only Peter Tork showing up for the first day of filming, and by the time the completed movie was ready for release, the television series had been cancelled (after two seasons and two Emmy Awards), and the Monkees phenomenon appeared to be winding down.

After producing Five Easy Pieces in 1969, the two partners took on a third partner, Stephen Blauner, naming their expanded company BBS Productions (for Bert, Bob and Steve).
