About Me

CODEBLACK ENTERTAINMENT is the first independent, vertically integrated African American-owned film studio, actively engaged in the business of feature film production and distribution, worldwide DVD & digital assets distribution, urban market consulting, and production of programs for television broadcast and syndication. CODEBLACK’s reach is all-encompassing, from its international distribution of feature films to its innovative marketing consulting arm.
CODEBLACK ENTERTAINMENT was created out of the necessity for the positive representation of African Americans in film. A multi-faceted entertainment organization, CODEBLACK provides a consistent stream of sophisticated urban themed programming that is distributed across theatrical, digital, broadcast and internet based platforms. CODEBLACK’s expansive library consists of dramatic, comedic, romantic and faith-based titles featuring top African American and Latino talent.
CODEBLACK ENTERTAINMENT is the brainchild of Jeff Clanagan and his executive team, who, through their extensive work over the past decade, has helped to define, expand and ultimately change the face of urban filmed entertainment.
Despite its relatively young age as a company, Jeff Clanagan and his team have already established CODEBLACK ENTERTAINMENT as the preeminent independent distributor of urban themed content with a proven track record of releasing top quality urban content through theatrical, DVD, and broadcast channels.
Recent national theatrical releases from the company include Shadowboxer (the directorial debut of Lee Daniels, producer of Monster’s Ball and The Woodsman), Constellation, Steve Harvey’s stand-up comedy film Don’t Trip…and Preaching to the Choir.
CODEBLACK ENTERTAINMENT has further increased its equity by developing a strategic business alliance with one of Hollywood’s biggest media conglomerates, 20th Century Fox. CODEBLACK presently has a multi-picture deal with 20th Century Fox’s new film distribution division, FOXFAITH, to produce 6 original films targeting the African-American faith-based market. The first two productions are film adaptations of the 80s Off Broadway gospel musical hit "Mama I want to Sing!" as well as the popular play "A Good Man is Hard to Find." Through their unparalleled track record of success in the urban market, Jeff Clanagan and his team have not only proven that the urban market is lucrative and well worth the investment, but have added equity to the home entertainment industry in doing so. CODEBLACK’s consumers are the tastemakers, innovators and trendsetters who have not only influenced popular culture, but helped define it for an entire generation. Since its inception in January 2006 CODEBLACK ENTERTAINMENT has generated $12 million in gross sales. The company projects gross sales of $21 million in 2007.
CODEBLACK ENTERTAINMENT is fundamentally devoted to supporting the upward mobility of Minorities through the art of film. The company attributes its loyal following to its continuous ability to uphold the integrity of the urban community, representing them in a positive light.
