- 2012 Winner Pioneer AwardThis year's Pioneer Award is given to producer Will Packer of Rainforest Films. While he's been around Hollywood for some time now, having successful put together a handful of box office hits, including 'Stomp The Yard,' 'This Christmas,' 'Obsessed,' and 'Takers.' This year, his latest 'Think Like A Man,' not only opened #1 at box office, defying expectations, but went on to gross a total of nearly $100 million. It must be noted the production budget was less than $15 million. The St. Petersburg, FL native also started a broadcast network, BOUNCE TV, which continues to build an audience among African American households. Will has continued to expand the boundaries of what black filmmakers can achieve and embody the very essence of the word Pioneer.
