Brandon T. Jackson Inc. and Jay Walk Entertainment have announced the launch of BACKLASH, a vertical-format micro-drama premiering exclusively on Cinesodes.

Starring Brandon T. Jackson, the series follows a man who appears to travel back in time in an effort to prevent crimes before they occur. The newly released teaser showcases action-driven sequences and visual effects as the character pushes against a powerful system intent on preserving the status quo.

BACKLASH positions itself as the first performance-driven AI micro-drama. Rather than replacing actors, the production integrates artificial intelligence into world-building, visual environments, and expanded narrative elements while keeping human performance central to the storytelling. The model blends live acting with AI-generated components, creating what the producers describe as a new category of entertainment: Performance AI.

The vertical micro-drama format is designed for serialized short-form viewing, with an emphasis on scalable production and creator equity through the Cinesodes platform. By combining live performance and AI-enhanced environments, BACKLASH introduces a hybrid approach aimed at reshaping how independent creators produce and distribute digital storytelling.

BACKLASH is now premiering exclusively on Cinesodes.
