EXCLUSIVE: Adam Beach (_The Power of the Dog_) has signed on to star in an untitled new film, based on the true story of decorated Native American fire captain Paul Fullerton, which will be


directed and produced by Garry A. Brown (_Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D._). Shooting in Dallas, Texas, the film watches as Fullerton’s life and family are turned dangerously upside down when a


career-ending accident draws him into the uncharted world of marijuana, and a local district attorney and his small group of rogue police take the law into their own hands. It was in 2016


that Fullerton and his wife Maricel’s home was raided by a multi-agency task force. The couple was targeted and unjustly accused of selling and distributing marijuana, the effects of which


are still being felt in an ongoing court process today. Brown developed and wrote the project with Natalie Dickinson. In addition to Brown, Robert Paschall Jr. and Sasha Yelaun will produce


the feature, following collaborations on _The Old Way_ starring Nicolas Cage and _Nandor Fodor and the Talking Mongoose_ starring Simon Pegg. Fullerton is serving as executive producer.

Naomi Harris. Other projects he’s known for include Netflix’s _Juanita_ and 20th Century Studios’ _The New Mutants_.  A producer and director on Marvel’s _Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. _for seven


seasons, Brown also previously worked on the show _Prison Break_ for four. He’s also known for his work on Fox’s _The Big Leap_, among other projects. Beach is represented by Buchwald, RED
