In 2015, Weinstein founded Larry Weinstein Productions and his distribution company, Dead Cow International.[15] Weinstein's 2016 documentary The Devil's Horn premiered at the Hot Docs Ted Rogers Cinema.[16] His other 2016 film, Leslie Caron: The Reluctant Star, a documentary on Leslie Caron, premiered at the TIFF Bell Lightbox.[17][18]
