ABOUT THE GUEST SPEAKER:

CHARLES D. KING is

the Founder & CEO of MACRO, the multi-platform media

company that found early success producing the Denzel

Washington, Academy award-nominated drama “FENCES.

 King, a former Partner/Agent in the Motion Picture

Department at William Morris Endeavor (WME) launched MACRO

in 2015 with an undisclosed eight-figure round.  He has just

recently raised an additional staggering $150

million in equity and debt financing to produce and finance four to

six film and television projects a year.

The disruptive new model

entertainment company “targets the explosive multicultural content

marketplace and brings a unique focus to content creation, distribution and

engagement for Multicultural audiences.”  MACRO develops

theatrical features, premium television, and cinematic digital content with

universal themes.

MACRO and King’s first major studio

feature, FENCES, was directed by and

starred Denzel Washington along with Viola

Davis.  The film, distributed by Paramount Pictures and

co-financed by MACRO, grossed over $64 million at the box office and received

four 2017 Academy AwardŒ¬ nominations.  The film won

a myriad of awards including Davis’ Academy AwardŒ¬ and

Golden Globe wins for Best Supporting Actress in a Motion

Picture and Washington’s first-ever SAG Award – Best Male

Actor in a Motion Picture.  King was an Executive Producer on the

film.

The company has two highly

anticipated films slated for release in November 2017:

 MUDBOUND,

directed by Dee Rees and starring Carey Mulligan,

Jason Clarke, Jason Mitchell, and Mary J. Blige,

premiered at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival to critical acclaim and was

acquired by Netflix in the highest sale of the festival.

 ROMAN J. ISRAEL, ESQ. is the

company’s second major studio feature.  The legal drama, written and

directed by Dan Gilroy with Denzel

Washington and Colin Farrell starring, was

co-financed by MACRO along with Sony Pictures.

Additionally, Netflix has just

announced a 10-episode straight-to-series order for MACRO’s hour-long sci-fi

family drama RAISING DION, based on

commercial and music video director Dennis Liu‘s short film.

 The project comes from Liu, Creed star Michael B.

Jordan, who will have a supporting role, veteran showrunner

Carol Barbee (UnReal, Judging Amy), and writer-producer

Michael Green (American Gods, Logan).

Projects the company also has in

development include collaborations with dynamic content creators like

Ryan Coogler, Ava Duvernay, Rick

Famuyiwa, Van Jones, Eva

Longoria, and Justin Simien.  The

director BOOTS RILEY-helmed independent feature,

SORRY TO BOTHER YOU, starring Lakeith

Stanfield, Tessa Thompson, Steven Yuen, and Armie Hammer is co-financed by

MACRO and now in post-production with an expected 2018 release.

MACRO’s digital studio has a robust

pipeline of cinematic projects in various stages of production.  The

company premiered its first digital series, GENTE-FIED in

the Short-Form Episodic Showcase at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival.

 MACRO financed and executive produced the series with creative

partner America Ferrera.

“Our success is proof

that our slate is striking a chord with audiences globally,”

King said in a statement.  “This round of [$150 million]

financing provides the capital necessary to build a robust slate of content

that authentically represents the multi-faceted spectrum of our

communities”.

During his 15-year career as an agent

at WME, King was known for his innovative deal making and

his strategic planning in developing brands for and around his clients and was

at the center of some of the most innovative deals in the business.

 He represented a wide breadth of culture-impacting talent in every

sector of entertainment and helped build the careers of some of the most

compelling artists talent of our time, including OPRAH WINFREY, TYLER

PERRY, JANET JACKSON and PRINCE.  King

was (and still is) the first and only African

American to rise from mailroom to partner in the 119+ year

history of the company.

King has been featured in many

national media outlets and publications including the New York

Times (October 2017), Essence, The

Hollywood Reporter, Variety, and the Los Angeles

Times.  Fortune magazine named him as “one

of the nation’s most influential” Latino, Asian, or

African-Americans and he was included on Ebony magazine’s “Power

100 list.”

 He is also an active angel investor in synergistic ventures at the

nexus between the technology sector and the media content business.

A graduate of Vanderbilt

University and Howard University‘s School of Law,

King resides in Los Angeles with his wife Stacey, a fashion designer/executive

and their two sons, Noah and Julian.
