Awards season is in full swing and taking center stage last night was Uptown Magazine's LEXUS UPTOWN HONORS and hitting the red carpet was
Hidden Empire Film Group — the film and TV production entity run by Deon Taylor, partner Roxanne Avent Taylor and billionaire businessman and philanthropist Robert F. Smith — has linked up with Terrence Jenkins, tapping the host, actor and producer as head of talent engagement for film and TV.
The title is a hybrid job, one that will see Jenkins star in upcoming Hidden Empire projects while also working behind the scenes to "drive talent and entertainment integration for new films, create new content concepts including scripted and non-scripted projects," per the company. Furthermore, Jenkins will also advise on music supervision that aligns with new music and current artist projects, as well develop innovative influencer marketing campaigns and build strategic corporate partnerships, using his in-depth knowledge of the music business, thanks to his days on MTV and BET as host of the latter's 106 & Park.
"Hidden Empire is one of the hottest film companies out there right now and I am honored to work with such a talented team," Jenkins, aka Terrence J, tells The Hollywood Reporter in a statement. "Hidden Empire is growing into a billion-dollar brand in the distant future across film, TV and entertainment, which is incredible for a black-owned film company. As soon as I met the founder Deon Taylor, Roxanne Avent Taylor and Robert F. Smith, I knew that I needed to be involved in such an amazing company."
