Arrow Film Corporation was an American film production and distribution company during the silent era[1] from 1915 to 1926. An independent company it operated alongside the established studios. Originally formed to supply films for Pathé Exchange, the company quickly separated and concentrated on a mixture of medium and low-budget productions.[2] The company was sometimes referred to as Arrow Pictures.[3]

Actors who appeared in Arrow productions included Clara Bow, Marjorie Daw, Jane Novak, Constance Bennett, Milton Sills, Lionel Barrymore, Dorothy Mackaill, Neva Gerber, Marin Sais, Herbert Rawlinson, Anders Randolf, Ashton Dearholt and Wallace MacDonald.

W. E. Shallenberger (William Edgar Shallenberger) managed the company.[4] In 1918 it was announced Arrow would use Thanhouser's New Rochelle studio.[5] W. E. Shallenberger and his brother Wilbert Shallenberger were directors of Thanhouser in 1915.[6] They were both doctors.[7]
