In fact from his early years as a concert promoter for high profile artists such as Will Smith, Bernie Mac and and Martin Lawrence, (to name a few), to producing and promoting hit plays like “The Diary of Black Men” and “A Good Man is Hard to Find”, or as creator and executive producer of the nationally syndicated TV magazine show “Living Large”, Codeblack Entertainment's CEO, Jeff Clanagan has certainly made his mark on the entertainment industry through his broad scope of contributions. Today Clanagan in conjunction with FoxFaith, a division of 20th Century Fox, develops and distributes quality films that elevate and inspire audiences everywhere.

JEFF: Finding quality projects with a theme that will resonate with not only the Christian community, but will connect with families in general - a much larger audience.
