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!
-Jeff

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 Award¬-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 “Knowing” and
“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
Business” and “Forest
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!
