The agent-turned-entrepreneur is building Macro into a multifaceted, mainstream Hollywood powerhouse. When top Hollywood agent Charles D. King wrote the business plan for Macro, a film and TV production company focused on backing stories by and about people of color and other underrepresented communities, he says, “There was almost no awareness of the strength of this audience.” That began to change when the company launched in 2015, and it quickly established itself as a purveyor of prestige fare, garnering Oscar nominations for such films as Dee Rees’ Mudbound, and wins for Denzel Washington’s Fences and Shaka King’s Judas and the Black Messiah.
