Following our interview with Jeff Clanagan, ReelUrbanNews.com spoke exclusively with CodeBlack Entertainments executive vice president, Quincy Newell who manages CBE. “In my role I deal with a lot of day to day operations at CodeBlack Entertainment, making sure that our productions and releases are running efficiently, handling acquisitions and dealing with all of our distribution partners be it for DVD, television and VOD. Basically over-all operational management. “

Newell admits to ReelUrbanNews.com that there is more to comedy than just laughter. “Comedy is a business and always has been just as entertainment is a business. I think what CodeBlack Entertainment has always focused on is making sure that business comes first because that’s the only way creativity can continue is if the business aspect of it is natured and taken care of and successful.”
