"Though the three have been working together since Ryan and Ohanian's student days at the University of Southern California's School for Cinematic Arts, they didn't officially found Proximity until 2018, following Ryan's catalytic success as the writer and director of Fruitvale Station, Creed, and Black Panther."
"Proximity runs on this kind of commitment. As Zinzi says as she sips her decaf coffee, the founders are basically family, and 'you treat your family a little bit differently because you're invested in a different way.'"
"Since then, the company has grown to some 20 people who work across its film, television, audio, music, and unscripted divisions. Proximity has produced a handful of feature films (Judas and the Black Messiah, Creed III), documentaries, and television shows."
Ryan Coogler, the writer, director, and producer behind the Oscar-nominated film Sinners, founded Proximity Media in 2018 with his wife Zinzi Coogler and producer Sev Ohanian. The production company operates with a family-like commitment among its founders, who have collaborated since their days at USC's School for Cinematic Arts. Proximity has grown to approximately 20 employees working across film, television, audio, music, and unscripted divisions. The company has produced feature films including Judas and the Black Messiah and Creed III, along with documentaries and television shows. Currently, Coogler is developing an X Files reboot for Disney+ through Proximity Media, demonstrating the company's expansion into major streaming projects.
