Hi Everyone!

Here’s info on the HOLLYWOOD NETWORKING

BREAKFAST with Academy Award nominated Producer TODD BLACK (“FENCES” as well as The Equalizer, Magnificent 7, Southpaw, The Pursuit of Happyness, etc.)

& Partner at Escape Artists Entertainment.

PLEASE NOTE THE NEW DATE of Thursday, July 6th, due to a production schedule conflict in Todd’s schedule.

A not-to-be-missed event!

I myself have made many valuable

connections at these breakfasts, including getting work on hundreds of episodes

of major network primetime television shows, producing music for

Grammy-nominated recording artists, and more – so I couldn’t give it a

higher recommendation!

There’s something for everyone,

whether you’re a producer, writer,

director, actor/performer,

content producer, talent rep,

crew – or ANYONE who works on either side of the

camera!

PLUS – TODD has agreed to a one-on-one private

meeting with a “lucky” attendee!

 Private meetings take the form of lunch, general meeting, or

shadowing the speaker for part of their day (nature of meeting determined by

speaker).

As always, there’s a great

discount for INFOLIST.com

details are below!

Hope to see you there – good luck,

have a great day, and don’t forget to dream big!

ABOUT THE GUEST SPEAKER:

TODD

BLACK is one of Hollywood’s most

respected producers having worked with many of the top talent in the industry,

both in front and behind the camera.  This year, Black’s “FENCES,”

starring Denzel Washington and Viola

Davis, opened to much critical acclaim and was nominated for “Best

Picture” at the 2017 Academy Awards. The film is Black’s

and Washington’s third collaboration as director and producer.

The prolific producer has finished

work on the much anticipated “Magnificent

Seven,” directed by Antoine Fuqua,

which hit theaters last fall.  Black also produced 2015’s critically

acclaimed “Southpaw,” starring

Jake Gyllenhaal, the blockbuster hit “The

Equalizer,” starring Denzel

Washington, “The Pursuit of

Happyness,” which earned Will Smith

an Academy Award nomination as Best Actor, “The Taking

of Pelham 123,” directed by Tony

Scott, and “Hope Springs,”

starring Meryl Streep and Tommy Lee

Jones, among many others.

Black’s long-time

collaboration with Denzel Washington began when he brought “Antwone

Fisher,” the screenplay he developed for ten years, to

the Academy AwardŒ¬-winner. Washington decided not only would he star in the

film, but he would also direct the touching drama, cementing their partnership

as producer and director. When Washington stepped behind the camera to direct “The

Great Debaters,” Black was again his producer.

 That movie went on to earn a Golden Globe

nomination for “Best Drama.”  In addition, both “Antwone

Fisher” and “The Great Debaters” earned the Producer

Guild’s Stanley Kramer

Award.

Other noteworthy producing credits

for Black include Knowingand

The Weather Man,” both

starring Nicolas Cage, “Seven

Pounds,” starring Will Smith, and “Sex

Tape,” starring Cameron

Diaz.

Black entered the business as a

casting associate after attending USC’s School of Theater.

 Shortly after getting out of school, he produced a

Disney Sunday Night Movie.  Black next went on to

produce “Fire In The Sky,” for

Paramount Pictures and “Wrestling

Ernest Hemingway” for Warner Bros.

 In 1995, Black became President of Motion Picture Production at

Mandalay Entertainment where he managed “Donnie

Brasco,” “Seven Years in Tibet,”

I Know What You Did Last Summer,”

and “Wild Things,” to name a

few.  A few years later, he teamed with producer Jason

Blumenthal to create Black & Blu

Productions.

In 2001, Black and

Blumenthal joined Steve Tisch, producer of “Risky

BusinessandForest

Gump,” among others, to form Escape

Artists which has a first-look production deal with Sony

Pictures.  Their first film, which Black personally oversaw

throughout the filmmaking process, was “A Knight’s

Tale,” starring Heath

Ledger.

Black and

Escape Artists Entertainment are currently in pre-production with

“The Equalizer 2” and “Inner City”

for Columbia Pictures, as well as “Untouchable

for The Weinstein Company, set to go before cameras in 2017.

TODD BLACK is the

next “MUST MEET” Hollywood power player at the Hollywood Networking

Breakfast!
