Sack Amusement Enterprises and Sack Attractions were two interconnected film distribution and production companies founded by Alfred N. Sack, a pioneering figure in African American cinema. Alfred N. Sack began his career in the entertainment industry as a theater owner and later transitioned into film distribution and production. His companies were instrumental in providing films specifically targeted toward Black audiences during the era of racial segregation in the United States, primarily operating from the 1930s through the 1950s.

Alfred N. Sack was born in 1898 and began his business in Dallas, Texas. He co-founded Sack Amusement Enterprises with his brother, Edward Sack, and eventually expanded into production under the name Sack Attractions. Sack's businesses specialized in "race films" — films made by Black filmmakers for Black audiences. He was an advocate for creating opportunities in cinema that catered to African American communities, which were underserved by mainstream Hollywood studios. He distributed both Black-cast films and low-budget Westerns but is best known for producing films starring Spencer Williams, an influential African American filmmaker.

Spencer Williams (1893–1969) was an African American actor, writer, and director who became a significant collaborator with Alfred Sack. Williams is best known for his work on the film "The Blood of Jesus" (1941), which was produced by Sack Attractions and is considered a classic of African American cinema. Williams directed and starred in several films produced by Sack, including "Go Down Death!" (1944) and "Juke Joint" (1947). His work was characterized by its religious themes, low-budget aesthetics, and unique storytelling, which highlighted the experiences of African Americans in the South. Williams later gained fame for his portrayal of Andy in the television version of "Amos 'n' Andy."

Under Alfred N. Sack's leadership, Sack Amusement Enterprises and Sack Attractions became a crucial part of the "race film" market, operating theaters across the Southern United States and distributing both independently produced films and Hollywood features to Black audiences. Sack's companies provided a platform for African American filmmakers like Spencer Williams to create films that reflected the lives and cultures of their communities. Although the company dissolved in the 1950s, Sack Amusement Enterprises and Sack Attractions remain vital chapters in the history of African American cinema and independent film distribution.
