Behind
the ShieldA Focus Mindz series
Created, written and executive produced by Jermel Wilson — a Focus Mindz Entertainment production, being built from the first draft up.
The project
One story,
carried to the cut.
Behind the Shield is a television series created and executive produced by Jermel Wilson, who also wrote on it and plays Detective Wes Jones. It is in pre-production at Focus Mindz Entertainment.
The project is the company's centrepiece on the film and television side: developed in-house, produced lean, and carried from the first draft to the final cut by the same team. That is deliberate — the person who had the idea is in the room when the script is broken down, when the cast is read, and when the last take is chosen.
Credits, running order and release information will be published here as the production moves forward. For casting, press or partnership enquiries about the series, contact Focus Mindz Entertainment.
