Four Screens is a Black-owned management and production company on a mission to bring diversity to all facets of the entertainment industry.
CEO
Messiah Jacobs is an experienced Hollywood producer who wanted to go beyond getting more diversity on screens– he’s ensuring there’s more representation at the tables when deals are signed.
“It isn’t enough to make diverse content, we must change the way deals are financed, greenlit, constructed and how under-represented talent is managed,” Jacobs said in an interview with Blacknews.com. “Black talent in front of the screen is not always being managed and represented by entities with the same goals of inclusion and diversity in mind.”
