Lawmen: Bass Reeves – Behind The Story: Episode I

Behind The Story is a post-episodic web series that goes behind the scenes of some of Paramount’s latest and greatest shows, providing a cast and crew introspection into how an episode is made. This version of the web series takes us into the creation and genius behind Paramount+’s Lawmen: Bass Reeves, a Western mini-series based on the life of Bass Reeves, one of the first African American U.S. Marshals west of the Mississippi River, Starring David Oyelowo as Bass Reeves.

This was my entry into Producing & Writing for any television-based promotional content during my time as an Editorial Ambassador with the MTVE Brand Creative team at Paramount. I had the pleasure of working with several editors and supervising producers to accomplish something that I am both extremely proud of and delighted with. This is also the first of eight episodes of this series that I wrote and produced!
