Donald Rodney "Don" Schain (February 26, 1941 – December 26, 2015)[1] was an American director, writer, and producer of many films and TV movies, most notably for Disney Channel.

Schain joined the movie industry in the early 1970s, directing his then-wife, Cheri Caffaro, in a number of low-budget exploitation films, including the Ginger series.

In the 1990s he moved to Utah and went on to produce movies of a more family-oriented nature for the Disney Channel, including High School Musical, Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior and Read It and Weep. He was the first president of the Motion Picture Association of Utah.[2][3]
