Join us on Monday, October 23, 2023 for an evening with TNS alum, BK Fulton.
BK Fulton is the chairman of 7 companies, an award-winning filmmaker, media investor, and author. In 2017 BK founded Soulidifly Productions - a film, stage and TV investment company designed to promote a more inclusive narrative in media. The company has produced 18 feature films, 16 books and two #1 shows on Broadway since its inception including the highest grossing August Wilson show and revival of all time. The Piano Lesson was nominated for two Tony Awards. Soulidifly’s next production will be a revival of The Wiz starting this September (2023) and ending with a 20 week run on Broadway (2024).
He has held senior leadership, media, technology, and policy development posts with the U.S. Department of Commerce, AOL, Time Warner, Verizon, and the National Urban League. BK is considered one of the most influential African Americans in technology. He is a Computerworld-Smithsonian Laureate (2000) and his influential writings on technology and the underserved are permanently archived at the Smithsonian Institution.
BK holds a Bachelor’s degree from Virginia Tech, a Master of Science degree and Sloan Fellowship from Harvard and the New School, and a Juris Doctorate from New York Law School.
His latest film, The Kill Room, was released theatrically on September 28, 2023.
