In 2022, Mann partnered with director Antoine Fuqua to executive produce the 10-part docuseries Legacy: The True Story of the LA Lakers (2022), now streaming on Hulu.[2] The series garnered several accolades including the 2023 Sports Emmy Award for Outstanding Documentary Series.[3] His additional documentary credits include: More than a Game (2008), a nominee for the People's Choice Award at TIFF; Under The Electric Sky (2014), which premiered at Sundance; Milius (2013), which premiered at the Telluride Film Festival; A Band Called Death (2012), which premiered at SXSW; and Autonomy (2019), in collaboration with Malcolm Gladwell.
In the scripted space, Mann recently produced the feature film, Goodrich (2024), with Daniela Taplin Lundberg's Stay Gold Features. The motion picture was written and directed by Hallie Meyers-Shyer and stars Michael Keaton and Mila Kunis.[4] Previously, Mann and Lundberg produced the feature Hello, My Name Is Doris (2015), directed by Michael Showalter and starring Sally Field, which won the Audience Award at SXSW and the Piaget Producers Award at the Independent Spirit Awards.
