Todd Black Honored for Career as Producer | Charlottesville News

Todd Black, the mastermind behind Denzel Washington’s biggest hits, is set to receive the inaugural Career Producer Honor at this year’s Virginia Film Festival — a brand-new award created to spotlight the unsung heroes behind the scenes. Thanks to a generous endowment from producer Julie Lynn, the festival is celebrating producers’ vital role in filmmaking. Black, who’ll be on hand for the October 21–25 event, will also screen his new film “The Social Reckoning” — starring Jeremy Allen White as the journalist behind the explosive Wall Street Journal investigation into Facebook — followed by a Q&A with writer-director Aaron Sorkin. With a lineup packed with Oscar-worthy indie films and international cinema, this year’s festival promises to be one of its most talked-about yet.
