Oliver William Lamb was an early itinerant filmmaker. His company, Paragon Feature Films, was active between 1914 and 1916.

His films include: The Lumberjack (1914), the first movie to be made in Wisconsin; Present and Past in the Cradle of Dixie (1914) made in Montgomery, Alabama; The Blissveldt Romance (1915) made in Grand Rapids, Michigan; The Spirit of Columbus 1865-1915 (1915) made in Columbus, Georgia; and The Maid of the Miami (1915) made in Dayton, Ohio.

Lamb worked with local Chambers of Commerce to secure funding for his productions. A hallmark of Lamb’s operation would be to end the film's production with a contest to name the film, the winner also receiving a $5 prize.
