Jamie Foxx has joined writer-director-producer Deon Taylor to create a production company called No Brainer Films.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Los Angeles-based company will develop, finance, write, direct and produce mainstream films and TV series budgeted at $10 million and under.
Robert Smith, founder of the private-equity firm Vista Equity Partners, is financing the new company.
The inaugural project from No Brainer is the TV series "Tommy's Little Girl," created by Foxx, who is co-writing and co-directing with Taylor.
The mob drama starring Selma Blair, Paul Sorvino, Tony Sirico and James Russo will be shopped to cable networks.
Foxx and Taylor both have their own separate, larger-budgeted production companies, Foxx-King Entertainment and Deon Taylor Enterprises.
Taylor wrote, directed and produced the horror thriller "Chain Letter," which opens in October.
Foxx will be seen in the upcoming Warner Bros. comedy "Due Date" opposite Robert Downey Jr. in November.
