Tyler Perry launched a new specialty division of his production company Tyler Perry Studios called “Maxscene.” According to the company, the label is “dedicated to expanding theatrical opportunities for filmmakers with distinctive voices.” Named after Perry’s mother Maxine, the filmmaker said his new label aims to reflect her belief in her son and the studio he would go on to build. Maxscene exists to be that same source of belief for the next generation of storytellers. It’s about taking the confidence and encouragement she poured into me and paying it forward by championing filmmakers who need someone to believe in them, open the door, and help them reach the audience waiting on the other side.” Head of Development & Acquisitions at Tyler Perry Studios Antoinetta Stallings will oversee the Maxscene division.
Stallings previously served as VP of unscripted programming, where she launched the studio’s joint venture with Pantheon Media Group. We’re creating a home where independent filmmakers can build a career, not just release a movie. Maxscene gives creators the resources, support, and a path to distribution so their films have every opportunity to reach the audiences who may not have otherwise discovered them.” Tyler Perry Studios is founded by Perry and is headquartered in Atlanta.
The company has produced dozens of feature films and thousands of hours of television.
