About

Proximity Media is an American film and television production company founded by filmmaker Ryan Coogler alongside producers Zinzi Coogler and Sev Ohanian. Headquartered in Atlanta, the company has quickly become one of the most influential new production banners in Hollywood, focusing on culturally resonant storytelling across film, television, documentaries, and audio projects. Proximity Media first gained major industry recognition with the critically acclaimed historical drama Judas and the Black Messiah (2021), which received six Academy Award nominations and won two Oscars, including Best Supporting Actor for Daniel Kaluuya and Best Original Song for “Fight for You.”

The company continued its momentum with major studio collaborations such as Space Jam: A New Legacy starring LeBron James and the blockbuster boxing sequel Creed III directed by and starring Michael B. Jordan, which grossed more than $275 million worldwide. Proximity’s slate also includes acclaimed nonfiction titles like the Hulu documentary Homeroom, the music and culture documentary Anthem, and the Apple TV+ sports documentary Stephen Curry: Underrated. On the television side, the company signed a multi-year overall deal with The Walt Disney Company to develop series projects, leading to productions such as Marvel Studios’ Disney+ series Ironheart and the animated Wakanda-based series Eyes of Wakanda.

Proximity Media’s recent output continues to expand its profile with the major 2025 theatrical release Sinners starring Michael B. Jordan, which became a global box-office hit, as well as additional documentary and streaming projects exploring culture, sports, and social history. Through its mix of prestige dramas, blockbuster franchises, and socially conscious storytelling, Proximity Media has established itself as a powerful creative engine shaping the modern film and television landscape.
