- Anne-Marie MacKay has signed with Established Artists for management, joining the firm represented by manager Corey Simon, who called her 'a visionary builder and a true titan of our industry.'
- MacKay co-founded Propaganda Films and is a founding member of Palomar Pictures, Riddle Studios, and Wondros, and is credited with launching the directing careers of David Fincher, Michael Bay, Antoine Fuqua, Gore Verbinski, Michel Gondry, Sofia Coppola, Mark Romanek, Dominic Senna, and Alex Proyas.
- MacKay's producing credits span Bleecker Street's The Last Word (directed by Mark Pellington), Foster Boy (executive produced by Shaquille O'Neal, starring Matthew Modine and Louis Gossett Jr.), Showtime's Antoine Fuqua-directed documentary American Dream, American Knightmare, HBO's Walter Mosley adaptation Always Outnumbered, and the Cannes/Sundance selection The Girl from Nagasaki.
- MacKay is both Emmy- and Grammy-nominated and continues to be represented by Scott Kaufman at Buchwald on the TV literary front while taking on Established Artists for management.
Why it matters: MacKay moves to Established Artists with a track record of shepherding major directorial debuts — Fincher, Bay, Coppola — giving the boutique firm a heavyweight producer whose credits also span prestige films and Showtime documentaries, potentially raising her profile for new film and TV packaging deals.
