Jamie Foxx, Kevin Hart to Produce Documentaries About Black Experience in Hollywood at Apple

Halle Berry and Angela Bassett are among the executive producers for “Number One on the Call Sheet”

Jamie Foxx and Kevin Hart will produce a pair of documentary films for Apple Studios that will focus on the challenges faced in Hollywood by Black actors and actresses.

“Number One on the Call Sheet” will be two companion films: one specifically focused on what it takes for Black leading men to find success in entertainment, and another that will focus on the challenges faced by Black leading women.

The first film, “Number One on the Call Sheet: Black Leading Women in Hollywood,” will be directed by Shola Lynch (“Chisholm ’72: Unbought & Unbossed,” “Free Angela Davis,” “All Political Prisoners”), and the second film on leading men will be directed by Reginald Hudlin (“Marshall,” “The Black Godfather”). Both documentaries are meant to celebrate Black achievement in the film industry and highlight the work of Black actors and actresses who paved the way for today’s stars.
