G-Unit Films and Television Inc.

G-Unit Films and Television Inc. is an American film and television production company founded by rapper 50 Cent and Interscope in 2003.[1] In 2008, 50 Cent created an independent film production company with Randall Emmett called Cheetah Vision, thus scrapping G-Unit Films. In 2010, Jackson revived G-Unit Films, renaming the company to G-Unit Films and Television Inc.[2] The company has joint ventures with Will Packer's production company Will Packer Productions and Universal Television. In over 18 months, Jackson has sold projects to six different networks. Among them was Power, a Starz drama for which Jackson serves as a co‐star, co-creator, and executive television producer. Jackson signed a two-year contract with Starz, with representation coming from the Agency for the Performing Arts. Ratings have been a success for Starz.[3][4][5][6] Jackson also serves as an executive television producer for Dream School for SundanceTV, a series that follows 15 high school dropouts as they are taught by a series of celebrity "teachers."[7]
