FILM

“Boyz n the Hood”, “The Wood”, “The Brothers”, “The Best Man”, “Soul Food”, “Love and Basketball”, “Brown Sugar” and many others are movies aimed at the urban market, but reach an even greater audience. “Boyz n the Hood”, with an estimated budget of $6M USD, generated a gross of over $57M USD. “Soul Food”, with an estimated budget of $7.5M USD, generated over $43M USD. The continued list is just as significant.

The Mackevelli Group aims to produce and distribute some 10-20 films a year, committed to matching the success of some of the leading production companies.

TELEVISION

The Urban community has made a large impact on the world of television entertainment. “Girlfriends”, a successful television series, produced by “Frasier’s” Kelsey Grammer, has been running for six consecutive seasons, while Damon Wayans’, “My Wife and Kids”, has ran for five. In addition to becoming one of North America’s most watched television programming, Hip-Hop’s growing consumer base has attracted some of the world’s leading advertisers. The Mackevelli Group television department is positioned to become a leading force behind the development, production, and marketing of television entertainment for the Hip-Hop community, including primetime series, and mini-series.
