Charles D. King, a prominent figure in the entertainment industry, has garnered significant recognition for his work, notably receiving an Oscar nomination for best picture for the 2021 film 'Judas and the Black Messiah.' However, King's proudest moment was when he made the decision to leave his position as the first Black partner at WME to establish Macro, a multi-platform media company dedicated to amplifying the voices and perspectives of people of color.
Upon sharing his career move with his young sons, they enthusiastically responded by exclaiming, 'Dad is going to be a boss!' This heartwarming reaction solidified King's sense of accomplishment, regardless of Macro's future success. Since its inception in 2015, Macro has been involved in producing or executive producing a range of impactful films, including 'They Cloned Tyrone' (2023), 'Sorry to Bother You' (2018), 'Mudbound' (2017), 'Roman J. Israel, Esq.' (2017), and 'Fences' (2016), the latter of which received critical acclaim and multiple award nominations.
