MACRO Film Studios and @SonyPictures have entered into a multi-year, exclusive first-look, co-financing, and distribution agreement. This marks an important step as we continue to build a slate of bold, commercial projects with global appeal, rooted in and reflecting culture. This collaboration has been years in the making, beginning with Roman J. Israel, Esq. and strengthening with each project since. From the critically acclaimed One of Them Days, starring #KekePalmer and #SZA (a sequel already in development!) to our co-financing of the animated feature GOAT, which has reached $160M globally, we’ve built a strong foundation together. Sony has been an exceptional partner, and we’re proud to take this relationship to the next phase. Building with intention. #stayMACRO

Production has officially wrapped on DON’T EVER WONDER, starring Nia Long (@iamnialong ) and Larenz Tate (@larenztate ) and coming soon to @netflix . 🎬 Our favorite duo reunites alongside a wonderful cast for a new story of love, loss and growth - set to the iconic sounds of @Maxwell ’s Urban Hang Suite. So if you’re looking for that yearning, who better than the duo and sounds that helped define it? #DontEverWonder #aMACROfilm #stayMACRO CAST: Blair Underwood (@blairunderwood_official ) Laz Alonso (@lazofficial ) Susan Kelechi Watson (@susankelechiwatson ) Pauletta Washington (@ettappw ) Dennis Haysbert (@dennishaysbert ) Chante Adams (@chante_adams ) Algee Smith (@itsalgee ) Grasie Mercedes (@grasiemercedes ) Navia Robinson (@naviarobinson ) Yolonda Ross (@YolondaRoss_creator ) Ismael Cruz (@ismaelcruzcordova ) DIRECTOR: Eugene Ashe (@eugeneasheofficial ) WRITERS: Eugene Ashe (@eugeneasheofficial ) Kay Oyegun (@kayoyegun ) PRODUCERS: James Lopez (@iamjamesflopez ) Charles D.

Feeling very grateful to share the cover of @hollywoodreporter with my brothers #RyanCoogler and #ShakaKing. Thank you #THR for highlighting us and our film #JudasAndTheBlackMessiah. As they said, 93 years in the making. We may be the first team of all Black producers to get a Best Picture nomination for an Oscar, but we will not be the last.   This is for the team, our partners, and as always, the culture! #stayMACRO #Oscars [Link in Bio] 📸 @abdmstudio

Still buzzing from our 8th Annual MACRO Pre-Oscars Party — a beautiful night with an undeniable vibe celebrating this year’s nominees and the storytellers moving our industry forward. Every year, I’m reminded how powerful it is when we come together with intention, joy, and love for the culture. Endless appreciation to our Chief Brand Officer @Staceywalkerking , our brilliant Brand Team, and our partners @redbull and @a16zclf for building a night that truly felt like home. And thank you to everyone who showed up and continue to support this tradition! #stayMACRO #MACROPreOscarsParty #Oscars #FBF Styling: @noahk1ngg @marisabakernm @555juliannn Suit: @jacquemus Shoes: @prada Bling: @facetsgems Grooming: @kennyhailey 📸: @lexgallegos @karims123 @kustoo @michaelrowephoto @theleagueofus @gbaroth @natacam_

History was made last night. 4 Oscars. 16 nominations, the most ever in Oscar history. The second Black writer to win Best Original Screenplay. The first woman to win Best Cinematography. At the center of all of it: my brother #RyanCoogler and the @ProximityMedia family.   Ryan, I have had the privilege of watching you work, lead, and pour every piece of yourself into the stories you tell. Last night was a reflection of who you are, an artist of the highest order, a visionary, and one of the most generous human beings I know. Thank you for letting us be part of your journey.   MAJOR congratulations to #MichaelBJordan for winning Best Actor in an extraordinary performance that will be celebrated and studied for generations.   To the incomparable Autumn Durald Arkapaw @addp , your win for Best Cinematography — and being the first woman in Oscar history to do so — is more than a barrier broken. It’s a testament to your gift and to the excellence you brought to this film. Brava!   Congrats to @LudwigGoransson : you delivered a film score that lives in the body long after the credits roll.   Many thanks to the courageous leadership team at @warnerbros — Mike, Pam, Jesse, Sheila, and the entire WB team — for betting on original storytelling and bold, uncompromising vision at a moment when the industry needed it most.   Massive props to the dream team of agents, lawyers, marketing partners, and publicists (Craig, Dan, Jonathan, Marc, Terra, Meredith) who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to support Ryan, Zinzi Coogler @zinzerella , @SevOhanian , and the entire cast. None of this happens without you.   And lastly, to the community and the culture: you showed up for this film in a way that reminded the whole world that original stories rooted in truth, in history, in the beauty and complexity of our experience, will always find their audience. Thank you.   @proximitymedia , what you all built is permanent. Let’s keep making history!

The 8th Annual MACRO Pre-Oscars Party once again proved why it’s the IYKYK event of awards season. Thank you to our MACRO family for setting the tone for an unforgettable weekend celebrating this year’s nominees. You are incredible. Huge thanks to @a16zclf for their partnership and @redbull for keeping the energy high all night long. To our DJs @jaemurphy , @meldebarge and @cquestt - y’all kept the vibes exactly where they needed to be, while our community brought the kind of presence, style, and spirit that made the whole night feel legendary. Good luck to all the nominees this year and we’ll see you in 2027!

Sweet sixteen taking on an entirely new meaning today! What an epic moment for Ryan Coogler, @zinzerella , @sevohanian and the entire @proximitymedia and SINNERS cast, crew and family! Congratulations on breaking the record for most nominations ever. Best picture, best director and original screenplay to lead actor, supporting actress, supporting actor, recognition in casting, production design, cinematography, costume design, editing, makeup & hair, sound, VFX, score and original song, this is a sweeping acknowledgment of a singular vision. Ryan, Zinzi and Sev are not only masterful, culture-shifting storytellers — they are dear friends and collaborators. From the early days of working with Ryan during the rollout of Fruitvale Station to this history-making milestone, their journey embodies excellence, authenticity and an unwavering commitment to culture. This moment is bigger than any one accolade. It’s a testament to faith, purpose, discipline and an unshakeable belief in our stories and our people. This is what we mean when we say: own your narrative, honor your roots and bet on yourself. So proud of you all. ✨🏆

Today, MACRO is proud to announce the start of production on DON’T EVER WONDER. Led by the cultural treasures @iamnialong and @larenztate , the film realizes a 13-year vision from MACRO’s President of Film, @iamjamesflopez , guided by writer/director @eugeneasheofficial for @netflix . 
 The film rediscovers the new language of black romance inspired by the iconic music of Maxwell’s Urban Hang Suite. It’s time to bring that timeless, 90s R&B love back with the duo that helped define it. #aMACROfilm #DontEverWonder #stayMACRO Cast:  Blair Underwood (@blairunderwood_official ) Laz Alonso (@lazofficial ) Susan Kelechi Watson (@susankelechiwatson ) Pauletta Washington (@ettappw ) Dennis Haysbert (@dennishaysbert ) Chante Adams (@chante_adams ) Algee Smith (@itsalgee ) Grasie Mercedes (@grasiemercedes ) Navia Robinson (@naviarobinson ) Yolonda Ross (@YolondaRoss_creator ) Director:  Eugene Ashe (@eugeneasheofficial ) Writers:  Eugene Ashe (@eugeneasheofficial ) Kay Oyegun (@kayoyegun ) Producers:  James Lopez (@iamjamesflopez ) Charles D.

Excited to share that MACRO’s original documentary, MUSIC BOX: WIZKID: LONG LIVE LAGOS, premieres December 11th at 9pm ET/PT on HBO and will also stream on HBO Max. As part of @BillSimmons ’ acclaimed “Music Box” series, this film, directed and produced by @Karam Gill, tells the story of global superstar @Wizkidayo —tracking his rise from Lagos to the world stage.
 Wizkid’s rise is not just about music-it’s about reclaiming identity, inspiring the next generation, and shifting global perceptions of Africa. From humble beginnings in Lagos to a historic, sold-out performance at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the film blends intimate moments, electrifying performances, and conversations with cultural icons like Femi Kuti, Jada Pollock, and more, offering a rare look at the man behind the movement. We’re proud to partner with HBO Documentary Films, Ringer Films, MGX Creative, and the exceptional creative and producing teams who brought this vision to life - a celebration of legacy, pride, the unstoppable spirit of Lagos, and the global force of Afrobeats.
