Actor/writer/producer/director Perry has now made history as the first Black American to own a film studio outright; he has no partners or corporate backers.
One highlight of the celebration is the dedication of the studio’s centerpiece: 12 10,000- to 38,000-square-foot soundstages, each named after a groundbreaking black artist. The entertainers honored include Winfrey, Washington, Goldberg, Sidney Poitier, Will Smith, Halle Berry, Della Reese and director John Singleton, who passed away in April.
His studio is one of the largest motion picture studios in the United States.
